Epson GT-5500 manual Removing the Cover for Thick or Large Documents

Page 30

Note:

❑Make sure the document is flat against the glass surface; otherwise the scanner cannot properly focus and scan your image. Also, make sure to close the document cover. This prevents interference from external light.

❑Always keep the document table clean. See “Cleaning the Scanner” in Chapter 3.

❑Do not leave photographs on the document table for an extended period of time; they may stick to the glass.

❑Do not place heavy objects on top of the scanner.

6.Start your scanner software, and follow scanning instructions in your scanner software manual.

Removing the Cover for Thick or Large Documents

For thick materials or documents that are larger than the document table, remove the document cover.

Hold the back of the document cover and lift straight up.

Note:

When scanning with the cover removed, make sure you cover any exposed areas of the document table to prevent interference from external light.
