Scanning

The Compaq A4000 offers two ways to scan a document. You can scan:

>Using your computer

>Using the Scan button

You can scan a document while your A4000 is printing a previous print job, but not while you are faxing or making copies.

The scanner driver supports scanning from the bundled applications on the CD as well as all your favorite scanning programs.

Preparing documents for scanning

You can use the A4000 to scan documents that are printed on standard letter, legal, or A4-sized paper. Before you feed your documents:

>Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry.

>Remove all staples, paper clips, and similar items.

This will help prevent paper jams and will keep your A4000 working properly.

Loading documents

The A4000 can scan up to 30 sheets of paper at a time. To load your documents:

> Place the documents face down into the document input tray.

> Adjust the document guides to match the width of the document.

> Slide the documents down into the scanner until it grips the first sheet.

Your documents are now ready to be scanned.

Using the copy/scan sleeve

Some documents cannot be fed into the scanner input feeder. For those documents, the A4000 comes with a copy/scan sleeve. The sleeve is a stiff piece of plastic with a clear plastic overlay.

Place your document between the two pieces of plastic so that it is centered at the top and visible through the clear plastic sheet. Then place the sleeve face down into the document feeder, with the closed end first and clear side down.
