How to use

Load up to 50 sheets into the automatic document feeder, aligning edges according to the feeder guides. Use the scanner software on your computer to select desired resolution, file format and destination folder. For longer media up to 2500 mm, feed documents carefully to avoid skewing; for business cards or small items use the appropriate carrier or placement suggested by the software. Follow on-screen prompts to start the scan and verify output files after completion.

Recommendations

To maintain consistent scan quality and prolong device life, keep the scanner and ADF path clean of dust and debris, use plain paper or recommended media weights, and avoid overloading the ADF beyond its 50-sheet capacity. For critical documents, scan at the full optical resolution and review settings in the scanning application before batch runs.
