							Placing Originals for Copying and Scanning15
Placing Originals on the Document Table
Before scanning or copying, make sure the transportation lock on the left side of the 
document table is set to the   unlock position. Always keep the document table 
clean. 
1. Open the document cover and place your original face-down on the glass as 
shown, in the upper left corner. Move your original about 0.06 in. (1.5 mm) away 
from the top and left edges so all of it will be scanned. 
If you plan to scan multiple photographs, position each one at least 0.8 in. apart 
from the others.
Note: 
The area with a width of maximum 0.06 in. from the horizontal edge and 0.06 in. 
from the vertical edge is not scanned.
Caution: 
Do not place heavy objects on the document table or press the glass surface with 
too much force.
2. Close the document cover gently so that your original does not move.
Note: 
Do not leave photographs on the document table for an extended period of time 
as they may stick to the glass.

and be careful not to move it.
Caution: 
Do not use excessive force on the document cover, and do not twist it diagonally. 
You may damage the document cover.
When you are done, replace the document cover by inserting the tabs back into the 
slots.
