When Using Libratory Equipment
Do not drop or handle the equipment too aggressively as it
may cause it to become damaged.
Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with
water or other liquids. In the event that water or other
liquids enters the interior, immediately turn off the
equipment. Continuing to use the equipment may result
in fire or electrical shock.
Do not handle the equipment with wet hands. Doing so
may cause electrical shock and damages to the
equipment.
Do not expose the equipment to extreme temperatures,
humidity, or vibrations, which may cause damage to the
equipment. 5

Preparing Your Materials
Before scanning, it is a
good idea to get your
materials organized.
For this scanner, we
recommend organizing your
photos by type and then by
person, date, location, or
event.

Turning on the Scanner
Turn on the scanner by pressing the power button.
When the scanner is on, the light above the
Power button will be on as shown here.

Placing Documents or Photos
on the Scanner
When scanning documents
such as photos or cards,
make sure the document
mat is installed inside the
scanner lid.
Open the scanner lid.
8

Place photos and
documents at the
top right corner on
the glass of the
flatbed.
Remember to clean the scanner glass
before placing your items on the scanner.
When placing
multiple items on
the flatbed, make
sure to leave at
least 1" of space
between items. 9

Remember to close the scanner
lid before scanning,
10

Placing Slides, Film, or
Negatives on the Scanner
When scanning materials
such as slides, film, or
negatives, make sure the
document mat has been
removed from the scanner
lid.
Open the scanner lid.
11

Remember to clean the
scanner glass before placing
your items on the scanner.
For slides, film, and
negatives, there are
plastic guides that
you will insert your
materials into before
scanning.
12

When inserting slides into
the guide, make sure to
push them under the
plastic tabs. Also, make
sure to place them shiny-
side down.
When inserting film or
negatives into the guides,
you will start by flipping the
guides upside down and
opening the latches as seen
here.
13

Again, make sure to place the
film or negatives under the
plastic tabs and shiny-side
down.
Once your film or
negatives have been
placed in the guide,
close the latches.
14

When placing the guides on the scanner, make
sure the arrows on the right-side of the guide
match up with the arrows on the scanner.
