Positioning Your  Originals

This section provides information on how to position your originals for scanning and
how to use the various film holders included with your scanner.

Positioning Reflective Materials

This procedure applies when you use the upper scan bed of the ArtixScan 1800f. The
upper scan bed is used for scanning reflective materials such as photos and prints.

1. Open the scanner lid.

Note: To scan a book or thick materials/documents, lift the scanner lid out of its
hinge sockets high enough to create room between the originals and the lid.

2. Place the original to be scanned face down on the scanner’s glass surface. Center

the top of the original along the horizontal ruler on the scanner.

3. Lower the scanner lid.
