Unlock the Scanner

Before connecting the scanner to a power source, you must release the transportation lock, located on the left side of the scanner.

Use a coin or large flat-head screwdriver to turn the transportation lock screw to the unlocked position, as shown.

Always lock the scanner before transporting it; otherwise, the scanner may be damaged. Be sure the scanner lamp is in the home position. To ensure this, always turn off the scanner before locking the carriage. See your electronic EPSON Expression 836XL User’s Guide for more information.

If you have the transparency unit, you need to remove the shipping screws before you scan.

See page 48 for more information.
