• Close the flatbed cover gently.

3. Choose your desired scanning profile or configure settings such as:
   • Scan Mode: Color, Grayscale, or Black & White.
   • Resolution: Typically 200-300 dpi for documents. The scanner supports up to 600 dpi optical resolution.
   • Duplex/Simplex: Scan both sides (duplex) or single side (simplex).
   • Document Size: A4, Letter, Legal, or auto-detection.
4. Click the "Scan" button in your software.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your scanner.

1. Cleaning the Scanner

• Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Glass Surface (Flatbed): Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with glass cleaner (non-ammonia based) to clean the flatbed glass. Ensure it is dry before closing the cover.
• ADF Rollers: Refer to the detailed cleaning instructions in the full user manual for cleaning the feed rollers and separation rollers. Use a roller cleaning kit or a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
• Sensors: Gently wipe any visible dust from the optical sensors with a dry, soft cloth or cotton swab.

2. Consumable Replacement

The feed rollers and separation pad are consumable parts that wear out over time. Replace them when scanning performance degrades (e.g., misfeeds, double feeds). Consult the full user manual for specific replacement procedures and part numbers.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

• Scanner not detected:
  • Ensure the scanner is powered on and the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and the computer.

• Poor image quality:
  • Clean the flatbed glass and ADF rollers/sensors.
  • Adjust scanning resolution and image enhancement settings in your software.
  • Ensure documents are clean and free of debris.
