Choosing a Place for the Scanner

Follow the guidelines listed below when selecting a location for your scanner:

Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface. The scanner will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily.

Allow some space behind the scanner for the cables, and make sure to place the scanner where you can easily unplug the power cord. Also allow sufficient space above the scanner so that you can fully raise the document cover.
