When installing the scanner on a table, make sure that the table is flat and level. Place the scanner so that none of its parts extend beyond the edge of the table, otherwise it may fall or collapse and cause injuries.

Install the scanner away from strong magnetic fields and other sources of electronic noise. Protect the scanner against any static electricity and choose a static-free place to install the scanner.

Static electricity can cause the scanner to malfunction.

If there is an electrical storm, disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet. Lightening can travel through wires and water pipes and damage the scanner, which may damage your property.

Do not supply the power from the AC outlet where the devices requiring much power such as copying machines or paper shredders are connected.

Do not block the ventilation ports. Blocking the ventilation ports generates heat inside of the scanner, which may result in a fire or scanner failure.

Do not use the scanner immediately after moving it from a cold place into a warm room. Condensation may occur, which might lead to scanning errors. Let the scanner dry for one or two hours before you use it.

When handling documents, be careful not to cut your fingers with them.

When carrying the scanner outside while it is raining or snowing, pay special attention so the scanner does not get wet.

If the scanner gets wet, wipe it or wait until it dries.

When transporting the scanner, never carry it alone. The scanner is heavy.
