Reading Standard Documents

This section describes proper document placement for typical documents. When reading typical

documents the booklet slides under the clip against the document guide.

1. Hold the document open as you place it on the document window.

2. Place the booklet on the document window close to the left so the left edge is against the

document guide and then slide it back so the leading edge is fully inserted under the clip

at the back of the document window.

Note: Until you become comfortable presenting documents to the reader, you may

want to use two hands to insert the document into the reader. The reader was

designed to hold a document in a natural semi-opened position. This hands-

free function allows you to release the document and focus on the traveler.

3. During reading, the document must lie flat against the document window. The leading

edge of the booklet should be all the way to the back of the document window under the

clip. The left edge of the booklet must be against the document guide.

When the document reaches its proper position, the reader will automatically start

scanning the document.

Note: The outer half of the booklet must lie flat against the bezel to ensure that any

chip located in the back half of the booklet is read properly.
