Choosing a Good Place for Your Scanner

When deciding where to place the scanner, follow these guidelines:

Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface. If the scanner is tilted, it can’t operate properly.

Make sure to place the scanner where you can easily unplug the power cord, near a grounded wall outlet, and where your cable can reach your computer.

Keep the scanner away from direct sunlight and strong light sources.

Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations, or high or rapidly changing temperatures and humidity.

Make sure there’s enough room behind the scanner for the cables, and above the scanner so you can fully raise the document cover.
