scanner bed. The top end of the original should be

positioned towards the back of the scanner, with the

surface to be scanned facing down. Then, place the white

mat on top of the photo.

unwanted light during scanning, and ensures the correct

functioning of the automatic cropping feature when you do a

preview scan.

Holder” for more details.

according to your preferences.

application.

need to make further adjustments.
