Placing Items (When Scanning from a Computer)
Learn how to place items on the platen of your scanner. Place items correctly according to the type of item
to be scanned. Otherwise, items may not be scanned correctly.
Important
• Do not place objects that weigh 4.4 lbs (2.0 kg) or more on the platen. Also, do not press on the item
with a force exceeding 4.4 lbs (2.0 kg). If you press heavily, the scanner may not work correctly or you
might break the glass.
• Close the document cover when scanning.
• When the scanner is placed upright, the item type may not be detected automatically. In that case,
specify the item type and scan.
Placing Items
Place items as described below to scan by detecting the item type or size automatically.
Important
• When scanning by specifying the paper size, align an upper corner of the item with the corner at the
arrow (alignment mark) of the platen.
• Photos that have been cut to various shapes and items smaller than 1.2 inches (3 cm) square cannot
be cropped accurately when scanning.
• Reflective disc labels may not be scanned as expected.
For Photos, Postcards, Business Cards, or
BD/DVD/CD
Placing a Single Item:

For Magazines, Newspapers, or Documents
