Placing an Original on the Exposure Glass
Use the exposure glass to scan originals that cannot be placed in the auto document feeder (ADF), such as books and license cards.

|

When you scan originals from the exposure glass, do not touch the parts shown below. Doing so causes the static electricity and a line may appear on the scanned result.

Do not lift the ADF forcefully. The cover of the ADF might open and cause injury. The ADF, or its hinges may also become damaged.
Lift the ADF.
Place the original face down and aligned to the mark on the upper left corner of the scan area.

Lower the ADF.

When you place a thick book or three-dimensional original on the exposure glass and lower the ADF, the back side of the ADF rises up to accommodate the original.

Do not open or close the ADF with your hands placed in the space between the ADF and exposure glass.

If you place a thick original on the exposure glass and lower the ADF, the right hinge of the ADF may come loose. If the hinge comes loose, return it to its original position. Pressing down on a thick original forcefully while the hinge is loose may damage the hinge. Also, scanning an original while the hinge is loose may damage the original or prevent it from being scanned correctly.
