CHAPTER 1 PREFACE
This manual describes how to operate the M3097E+ and M3097G+ image scanners. The
M3097E+ now supports a document counter function. The M3097G+ similarly supports a new
document counter and also features an 8-bit grayscale function. An image scanner optically
reads image information from a document and outputs the information to the host system. The
differences between the M3097E+ and the M3097G+ image scanners are listed in table 1.1.

2.3.1 Indicators The meaning of each indicator is as follows:
Power indicator (Green):
Lights to indicate the power is on.
Ready (for reading) indicator (Green) (M3097E+):
Lights when the image scanner becomes ready to read a docu-
ment in the manual mode. This indicator turns off when the
start button is pressed to read a document.
Read (reading in progress) indicator (Green) (M3097G+):
Lights to indicate reading is in progress.
Check (device check) indicator (Yellow):
Lights if a device error occurs which may result in a service
call. An error message is displayed on the liquid crystal display
screen. This indicator blinks if a document is jammed in the
automatic document feeder. This indicator turns off when the
jammed documents are removed from the feeder and the feeder
is closed.
2.3.2 Buttons and liquid crystal display screen (M3097E+)
The function of each button is as follows:
Start button:
Read operation can be started in either manual or automatic
mode. To start reading in manual mode, press this button while
the ready indicator is lit.
• Manual mode: Reading is started by the start button.
• Automatic mode: Reading is started by a command from
the host system.
Stop button:
This button is effective regardless of whether the scanner is in
manual or automatic mode. Press this button to stop the read
operation. When this button is pressed, the image scanner
operates as follows:
• Reading in flatbed mode: Reading is immediately stopped.
• Reading in ADF mode: Reading is immediately stopped
and documents being fed are ejected to the stacker.
After cleaning a jam, press the stop button to clear the
“Paper Jam” message displayed on the screen. The
ready screen will then be displayed to indicate that the
scanner is ready to read.
