Storing the transparency guides and reflective
document mat
As shown on the next page, the transparency unit comes with
three transparency guides for scanning transparencies or slides
and a reflective document mat for scanning normal paper
documents. To use the transparency guides, see “Positioning
transparencies and slides” on the next page. To use the
reflective document mat, see “Scanning normal (reflective)
documents” on page 3-11.
When you are not using the reflective document mat or the
large transparency guides, you can open the storage slot cover
and insert them into the storage slot for safekeeping. Do not

removing it.
