ˆPreparation
LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE SCANNER
Your scanner has a locking mechanism to protect it during shipment or while you move it.
Before you use the scanner, slide LOCK/ UNLOCK on the bottom of the scanner toward UNLOCK. To protect the scan- ner’s mechanism when you move or ship it, slide LOCK/UNLOCK toward LOCK.
CONNECTING AC POWER TO THE SCANNER
The scanner uses the supplied 12V,
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
!power source that supplies
12V DC and delivers at least 1250 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner's DC 12V jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifica- tions. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.
•Always connect the AC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, discon- nect the adapter from AC power be- fore you disconnect it from the scanner.
Plug the AC adapter’s barrel plug into the DC 12V jack on the back of the scan- ner, then plug the other end of the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet. The indicator on the front of the scanner lights, indicating that the scanner is turned on.
Note: The scanning lamp under the scanner's glass automatically remains lit so you do not have to warm up the scanner each time you want to scan. To conserve electricity and prolong the scanner's life, the lamp automatically turns off after a while.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER’S SOFTWARE/ HARDWARE
To use your new scanner, you must install the supplied PaperPort software on your computer then connect the scanner to the computer.
The PaperPort software includes installation files and a User's Guide. This guide provides more detailed information about the PaperPort software's fea- tures. You can read the guide while the CD is running, or print a copy directly from your hard drive to your printer. To read the guide, click Start, Programs, then PaperPort.
You do not need to turn off the computer before connecting or disconnecting your scanner.
