Setting Up Your Scanner
Testing Your Scanner’s Operation
To make sure your scanner is working properly, it’s a good idea to turn it on before
you connect it to your computer.
The scanner’s voltage cannot be changed. If the label on the back of the
scanner does not display the correct voltage for your area, contact your
dealer. Do not plug in the power cord.
1. Plug the scanner’s power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Then open the
scanner’s document cover so you can see the operation of the carriage.
2. Press the
P
Operate button to turn on the scanner.
The
READY
light on the scanner’s front panel flashes, and the scanner’s carriage
moves forward, then back. The
READY
light stays on when the scanner is ready
to scan.
If you turn off the scanner, wait at least 10 seconds before turning it back
on. Rapidly turning the scanner on and off can damage the scanner.
