Transporting the Scanner
Before transporting the scanner for a long distance or storing it
for an extended period of time, you need to lock the scanner’s
carriage and transparency unit to prevent damage.
1. Plug in the scanner, connect it to your computer, turn on
the scanner using its power switch, and wait until the
carriage moves to the home position (near the cover hinge).
While the status light is green, turn off the scanner using its
power switch.
Note:
If the optional ADF is installed, make sure the scanner is turned
off, then disconnect the ADF’s cable and remove the ADF from
the scanner. Place the scanner cover on the scanner, but do not
connect the cover cable.
2. Open the scanner cover and slide the transparency unit
transportation lock to the locked position. Then close the
scanner cover.
3. If the cover cable is attached, disconnect it.
4. Disconnect the USB cable.
