• Do not damage, knot, cut or modify the power cord.
• Use only the AC adapter that is supplied with the E1000, S2000 or S2000w scanner. Be sure the power cord is securely
plugged into the wall outlet.
• Do not plug the power cord from the Passport Flatbed Accessory into any other device than an Alaris E1000, S2000 or
S2000w scanner.
• Leave sufficient space around the power outlet so the scanner can be easily unplugged in case of an emergency.

application will expect to scan at the flatbed.
For an ISIS application: review the ISIS help file for system
configuration.
2. Choose the scanning profile or task to use in your application.
3. Remove all pages from the input tray of the scanner.
4. Place the passport face down on the glass platen. You can scan
two pages or one. The left illustration shows scanning two pages;
the right shows scanning one page. For either case, the passport
should touch both the far edge and the right edge of the platen.
Keep your hand on the passport for best results.
5. Select the Play/Scan/Start icon in your scanning application.
Smaller documents Use the flatbed to scan other types of small documents that cannot be
fed through the scanner.
