3. Turn on the scanner and wait until the carriage moves to the home position, as shown. Then turn off the scanner.

Note: If the carriage doesn’t automatically return

to the home position, slowly raise the front of the scanner and let the carriage slide to the home

position. The carriage won’t move automatically to the home position if you have a transparency unit installed; you must remove the transparency unit first.
