3. Installation & Operation Precautions Keep the product out of direct sunlight. Direct exposure to the sun or excessive heat may cause damage to the unit. Do not install the product in a humid or dusty place. Be sure to use the proper AC power source. Place the product securely on an even, flat surface. Tilted or uneven surfaces may cause mechanical or paper-feeding problems. Retain the product box and packing materials for shipping purposes.
3.1 Initial setup 1. Connect the plug on the power adapter cable to the power connector on the scanner. 2. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. Wait until the indicator light on the scanner stops blinking and stays on steady, indicating the scanner is ready. 3. Insert a memory card into the memory card slot or a flash disk into the flash disk slot. (If you install a memory card and a flash disk to the product at the same time, the scanned image will be stored in the memory card.
3.2 Scan an original 1. Insert your photo into the plastic sheath supplied with the scanner. (The detailed usage of the plastic sheath is described in the next page.) 2. With the side to be scanned facing upward and in correct orientation, place the left edge of the original against the left edge of the feeding slot. 3. Simply let go the original when it begins to feed into the slot. 4.
3.3 Using Plastic sheaths Always use the clear plastic sheath (included) when scanning photos to ensure the best scanning results. The sheath helps eliminate the possibility of defocusing due to the uneven surface of curled photos. Curled photo 1. Insert the photo into the plastic sheath as shown below. 2. Insert the plastic sheath, flat and level, into the scanner’s feeding slot, folded side first, image facing up. Note: • Keeping the original flat and level when feeding prevents possible jamming.
3.4 Scan dark or night pictures When you need to scan dark or night pictures, be sure to insert your photo into the white plastic sheath to avoid an incomplete scanned image. However, using the white plastic sheath will disable the auto crop (automatic crop your image according to your photo size) and deskew (auto straighten) functions. This means though you have completed scanning your photo, your image may look slightly skew if you have not placed the photo straight in the scanner. .
3.5 Power off the scanner After all originals are scanned, disconnect the supplied power adapter from the scanner. Now the scanner has been safely powered off. Important: (1) Insert only one photo at a time, and insert the next one only when the previous one is done. Otherwise, the scanner may malfunction. (2) The paper detector is quite sensitive. Please do not push your photo or card into the feeding slot or the top of your image will be cut.
(5) The scanner has a built-in cropping function that is capable to detect and crop the edges of an original. The max cropping size is 1.5mm per edge, as illustrated below: Max. 1.5mm Max. 1.5mm (6) If the photo is incautiously skew in the feeding slot, the four edges of the scanned image will become dark as illustrated.
4.
