Using the scanner on a desktop
•To use the scanner on a desktop, fit the two feet. These include rubber pads to prevent the
scanner sliding and allow the scanner to be tilted back for cleaning, without damaging the
Document Return Guides or the cables.
•The feet are in 2 sections. The parts that fits under the scanner are slotted into the scanner’s
plastic feet. These are identical left & right.
•The rear sections are different left & right. The right side (as viewed from the front of the
scanner) has a larger offset to go around the extra plastic housing where the cables connect.
These sections are screwed to the lower sections with the 2 long screws provided.

Version 1.03 13 Global Scanning UK Ltd © 2017
Connecting the scanner
•Connect the Ethernet cable to the rear of the scanner.
oThe scanner controller communicates with the printer over the network. (The printer
must be installed on the network, on-line and ready for the system to be able to Copy).
If the printer is NOT on the network, use a direct Ethernet cable connection from the
scanner to the printer, but this is not the preferred connection as the system will not be
able to Scan to PC.
