Preparation
We recommend you connect only one scan-
ner to your computer at a time. Connecting
two or more fast USB devices (such as CD-
ROMs, CD rewriters, scanners, printers or
hard disk drives) at the same time degrades
the performance.
LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE
SCANNER
Your scanner has a locking mechanism to
protect it during shipment or while you move
it.
Before you use the scanner, slide the lock on
the bottom of the scanner toward
Ž
(un-
lock). To protect the scanner mechanism
when you move or ship it, slide the lock to-
ward
(lock).
CONNECTING AC POWER
The scanner uses the supplied 12V, 1250-
mA AC adapter for power.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 12V DC
and delivers at least 1250 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the scanner's power
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the scanner or the
adapter.
Always connect the AC adapter to the
scanner before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you dis-
connect it from the scanner.
Plug the AC adapter’s barrel plug into the
power jack on the back of the scanner, then
plug the other end of the AC adapter into a
standard AC outlet. The indicator on the front
of the scanner lights, indicating that the
scanner is turned on.
Note:
The scanning lamp under the scan-
ner's glass automatically remains lit so you
do not have to warm up the scanner each
time you want to scan. To conserve electrici-
ty and prolong the scanner's life, the lamp
automatically turns off after about 5 minutes.
INSTALLING SOFTWARE
AND HARDWARE
To use your scanner, you must install the
supplied PageManager software onto your
computer then connect the scanner to the
computer.
The PageManager software includes instal-
lation files and a User's Guide. This guide
provides more detailed information about the
PageManager software's features. You can
read the guide while the CD is running, or
