							Positioning the Scanner
8
Positioning the Scanner
Horizontal Position
The document cover fully opens to allow easy scanning 
of large or bound documents. An oversized document 
can be scanned section by section into a single image 
using the stitch-assist function of CanoScan Toolbox. 
For details, see the Scanning Guide.
Hold the document cover with one hand, and press 
and hold   at the base hinge as you carefully 
lower the cover all the way down.
Upright Position
If you are scanning thin documents (i.e., a single sheet 
or double-folded sheet), this position saves the most 
space. Thick documents or film cannot be scanned in 
this position.
Pull out the stand on the bottom of the scanner until it 
clicks, and set the scanner upright on a flat stable 
surface. Gently open the document cover as far as it 
goes (stops at approximately 40
q) and slide down the 
document along the document cover.
Do not place items that weigh 2.0 kg or 
more on the scanner. The scanner may 
not work or you may break the 
document glass if you press down the 
document glass firmly.
Cover the scanner with a black cloth if external 
light enters around the scanned item.
• Do not force the document cover open; 
it does not fully open when the scanner 
is in the upright position.
• Always close and secure the document 
cover first when lifting the scanner in 
the upright position.
