Positioning the Scanner

Horizontal Position

The document cover fully opens to allow easy scanning

of large or bound documents. An oversized document

can be scanned section by section into a single image

using the stitch-assist function of CanoScan Toolbox.

For details, see the Scanning Guide.

Hold the document cover with one hand, and press

and hold at the base hinge as you carefully

lower the cover all the way down.

Upright Position

If you are scanning thin documents (i.e., a single sheet

or double-folded sheet), this position saves the most

space. Thick documents or film cannot be scanned in

this position.

Pull out the stand on the bottom of the scanner until it

clicks, and set the scanner upright on a flat stable

surface. Gently open the document cover as far as it

goes (stops at approximately 40q) and slide down the

document along the document cover.

Do not place items that weigh 2.0 kg or
