4.2Reading a Document in Flatbed Mode
This section explains how to read a document placed on the document bed.
!CAUTION
High luminance: Do not look directly at the light source during read operation. Keep the document cover in place.
4.2.1Reading a standard-size document
If the size of the document is smaller than the document bed, read the document using the following procedure:
1Open the document cover.
2Place the document face down on the document board. Correct any curled or folded parts of the document.
3Position the long side (in landscape mode) or the short side (in portrait mode) of the document to the left side of the document bed.
4Position the left top of the document to the reference mark. If the document is not placed correctly, reading cannot be done cor- rectly.
5Close the document cover slowly. If the document cover is closed too quickly, the document may move.
6For M3097E+, select a reading mode from the operator panel and start the read operation. For the M3097G+, the scanner starts the read operation by a command from the host system. Do not press on or open the document cover during the read operation.
7After reading, open the document cover to remove the document.
