Load Cards or Photos
Before loading business cards or photos in the feeder, make sure they meet these
requirements:
• Their width is from 2 to 4 inches and their length is from 3.2 to 6 inches.
• All the photos or cards (up to 24 at a time) are the same size.
• They are not printed on a dot matrix, laser, or ink jet printer or by a Polaroid ®
camera.
• They are not dusty, ripped, wrinkled, folded, stapled, clipped, carbon-coated,
multi-part, or bound, and have no holes or other cut out areas.
Caution: Always use the document table to scan important, valuable, or one-of-a-
kind photos or business cards. Dust, friction, or a feed jam may cause damage to
the photo or business card if you load it in the feeder.
WARNING: Keep your hair, clothes, and hands away from the feeder’s input tray.
You may hurt yourself, damage the scanner, or both.

and photos with the top edge facing left. Place portrait-oriented business
cards and photos top edge first.

your business cards or photos.
