When unplugging the power cord, grasp it firmly by its power plug. Do not pull directly on the power cord, as this may damage or expose the cord’s internal wiring, resulting in a fire or electric shock.

Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be disconnected easily. If objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to disconnect it in an emergency.

Do not allow water or flammable substances (alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, etc.) to spill onto the flatbed, as this may result in a fire or electric shock.

Turn OFF the power switch for safety when not using the flatbed for a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.

Open and close the document cover gently. Failure to do so may result in a malfunction or personal injury.

Be careful when closing the document cover to avoid pinching your hands. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

Do not press down hard on the document cover. Doing so may result in damage to the glass, a malfunction, or personal injury.

Never place any object other than documents to be scanned onto the scanning glass. Doing so may result in a malfunction or personal injury.

When using the flatbed in cold temperatures, wait a few moments after turning the power switch ON. Failure to do so may result in a condensation error.

Disposal

When disposing the flatbed or AC adapter, make sure to follow the local ordinances and laws or consult with your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative.

When Sending the Flatbed for Repairs

If you need to send the flatbed out for repairs, use the packing box in which it came. Firmly secure the flatbed with packaging material when you place it in the packing box.

Features

The Flatbed Scanner Unit 201 is intended to be used in combination with the Canon DR-series document scanners. The flatbed cannot operate as a stand-alone unit

The main features of the flatbed are described below.

Supports Documents as Large as A3 in Size

Connect the flatbed scanner unit to a Canon DR-series scanner to enable flatbed scanning. The flatbed allows you to scan thin document sheets, magazines, and a variety of other documents that cannot be scanned using a feeder.

The flatbed can scan documents up to A3 in size, allowing you to scan books and magazines that are spread open.

High Image Quality

The flatbed enables high-quality 600 dpi scanning in 24-bit color, grayscale, and black and white scanning modes.

Seamless Dual-Scanner Operation

Combine the scanned images from two scanners to create a single image file.

NOTE

The flatbed does not support all of the scanning options available on the connected Canon DR-series scanner. (See “Supported Functions” on p. 15.)
