Choosing the right location
Before you set up the scanner, choose a work area that’s convenient for you
and that meets the physical requirements of the scanner:
m a level, stable surface, such as a desk or table
m a grounded three-pin power outlet
m space around the scanner for easy access to the on/off switch
Environmental considerations
m Make sure you allow space for adequate ventilation so the scanner does not
overheat.
m If relative humidity is low, use a humidifier or an antistatic mat to avoid
electrostatic buildup. Avoid dusty areas, places where the scanner will be
exposed to salty air or corrosive gases, and locations where temperature
and humidity levels vary significantly.
m Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or exposing it to open flames.
m Place the scanner on a surface that is free from vibrations.
Allow clearance
above the scanner so
the top cover opens easily.
Leave enough room to place
large originals on the
scanner glass.
Allow enough space
at the back of the
scanner for the
power cord and
SCSI connectors.
