Use the sleeve for the following types of documents:

>

Envelopes, checks, or receipts

>

Photographs or fragile documents

>

Curled, wrinkled, creased, thin, or torn paper

>

Carbon, coated, onion skin, or glossy paper

Note: Do not feed anything thicker than a normal sheet of paper into the
scanner. For example, you cannot scan credit cards or a driver’s license. Doing so
will damage your sleeve and the scanner.

Scanning with the computer

To scan and save files on your PC, the Compaq A4000 provides a standard TWAIN
interface for scanning documents. TWAIN is a common scanner interface
supported by many application programs. Because the A4000 supports TWAIN, it
is compatible with a wide range of software.

To perform a scan using Ulead Photo Express (included with your A4000
software), complete the following steps:

1 Place the document in the scanner feeder, as described in “Loading

documents” on page 21.

2 Start Photo Express. From the Start menu, click:
