5. Before placing the drawings in the ADF paper chute, make sure you position the paper guide closest to the back
of the scanner as far out as it can go (towards the back of the scanner).
6. Place the drawings in the ADF paper chute (either face up or face down, depending on the type of scanner you
have).
The first drawing to scan must be at the bottom of the stack once you put it on the scanner, with the
registration holes towards the back of the scanner (where the pegs are).
When you place the drawings in the ADF paper chute, insert them so that they are slightly touching the
paper guide closest to the back of the scanner, and the edge of the drawings lightly touching the inside of
the ADF.
Do not insert the drawing too tightly on the inside of the ADF or multiple drawings may feed through at one
time, causing registration errors.
7. Slide the other paper guide over (closest to the front of the scanner) so that it slightly touches the drawings. You
are now ready to scan your drawings.
8. Select a scanning mode from the Mode drop-list.
If you want to scan the stack of drawings continuously without having to initiate the scan each time, set the
scan mode to Autofeed.
If you want to scan the drawings one at a time from the ADF, set the scan mode to Autofeed (One).
9. Click on the Scan button.
The scanner begins to capture the drawings. Once you click Scan, this button and the Preview button become
inactive during the scanning process.
You can click the Stop button to interrupt the scan. For more information on interrupting the scan, see the
topic

You can modify the scale to better view the drawings.
If you select Autofeed from the Mode drop-list, the animator’s label for the drawing you just scanned
appears in Last Scanned panel. The Last Scanned panel appears only in Autofeed or Autofeed (One)
modes.
