4.2 Reading a Document in Flatbed Mode
This section explains how to read a document placed on the document
bed.
WARNING: Do not lock directly at the light source during read
operation.
4.2.1 Reading a standard-size document
If the size of the document is smaller than the document bed, read the
document using the following procedure:
① Open the document cover.
② Place the document face down on the document board. Correct
any curled or folded parts of the document.
③ Position the long side (in landscape mode) or the short side (in
portrait mode) of the document to the left side of the document
bed.
④ Position the left top of the document to the reference mark. If the
document is not placed correctly, reading cannot be done correctly.
⑤ Close the document cover slowly. If the document cover is closed
too quickly, the document may move.
⑥ Instruct the scanner to start scanning from the host computer. Do
not press on or open the document cover during the read operation.
⑦ After reading, open the document cover to remove the document.
