Transporting the Scanner
Before transporting the scanner for a long distance or storing it for an extended period of time,
you need to lock the scanner’s carriage and transparency unit to prevent damage.
Plug in the scanner, connect it to your computer, turn on the scanner using its power
switch, and wait until the carriage moves to the home position (near the cover hinge).
While the status light is green, turn off the scanner using its power switch.
Note:
If the optional ADF is installed, make sure the scanner is turned off, then
disconnect the ADF’s cable and remove the ADF from the scanner. Place the
scanner cover on the scanner, but do not connect the cover cable.
Open the scanner cover and slide the transparency unit transportation lock to the locked
position. Then close the scanner cover.
