HOW TO SCAN A DOCUMENT
To scan a document, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold down the SCAN BUTTON to turn on
COPY CAT. You will see information displayed on the
LCD when COPY CAT is powered on.
2. Place COPY CAT on top of your document. Be sure the
scanning lens on the bottom is fully on the document
and not tilted or obstructed.
3. Press the SCAN BUTTON once to start the scanning
process. The green SCAN LIGHT will turn on when
scanning has begun.
4. Steadily drag COPY CAT across the length of the document, top to bottom. We recommend holding the
document firmly in place so it does not shift around while being scanned. (If the red ERROR LIGHT turns
on during the process, it means the document was scanned too quickly. Press the SCAN BUTTON once
and start again from Step #2.)
5. Once you have reached the end of the document, press the SCAN BUTTON once. The green SCAN
LIGHT will turn off.
6. If you want to scan more documents, repeat Steps #2 – 5. If you want to transfer your scans to your
computer, see the HOW TO TRANSFER SCANS section. Otherwise, press and hold down the SCAN
BUTTON to turn off COPY CAT.
