l     Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control s\
ystems that 
regularly switch on and off.
 
l     If you use an extension cord with the scanner, make sure the total amper\
e rating of 
the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’\
s ampere rating. 
Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the \
electrical outlet 
does not exceed the electrical outlet’s ampere rating. Do not place m\
ultiple loads on 
the electrical outlet.
 
l     Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter, AC power\
 cord, 
scanner, or scanner option by yourself except as specifically explained \
in the scanner’s 
guides.
 
l     Do not insert objects into any opening as they may touch dangerous volta\
ge points or 
short out parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.
 
l     Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or aroun\
d this 
product. Doing so may cause fire.

Scanning Using the Automatic Document Feeder
You can load an original document of up to 50 pages in the Automatic Doc\
ument Feeder (ADF) 
built into your scanner. This lets you quickly scan and save documents o\
n your computer 
without placing each page individually. See Loading Documents in the Automatic Document 
Feeder to get started.
 
You can still place one-page originals, or valuable photos and documents\
 directly on the 
document table whenever you need to scan them. See Placing Originals on the Document 
Table for instructions.
  
						

							
Home > Overview of Your Scanner Features 
Scanning to a PDF File
You can scan multiple document pages using the ADF and save them as one \
PDF file on your 
computer. EPSON Scan displays an editing page so you can view the pages \
as you scan them 
and reorder, rotate, or delete them as necessary.
 
You can also place one page at a time on the document table and scan and\
 save it as a PDF 
file.
 
See Scanning to a PDF File for instructions.
