Positioning the Scanner
Horizontal Position
The document cover fully opens to allow easy scanning
of large or bound documents. An oversized document
can be scanned section by section into a single image
using the stitch-assist function of CanoScan Toolbox.
For details, see the
Scanning Guide
.
Hold the document cover with one hand, and press
and hold
at the base hinge as you carefully
lower the cover all the way down.
Upright Position
If you are scanning thin documents (i.e., a single sheet
or double-folded sheet), this position saves the most
space. Thick documents or film cannot be scanned in
this position.
Pull out the stand on the bottom of the scanner until it
clicks, and set the scanner upright on a flat stable
surface. Gently open the document cover as far as it
goes (stops at approximately 40
q
) and slide down the
document along the document cover.
Do not place items that weigh 2.0 kg or
more on the scanner. The scanner may
not work or you may break the
document glass if you press down the
document glass firmly.
Cover the scanner with a black cloth if external
light enters around the scanned item.
• Do not force the document cover open;
it does not fully open when the scanner
is in the upright position.
• Always close and secure the document
cover first when lifting the scanner in
the upright position.
