Choosing a Place for the Scanner
You should consider the following when selecting a location for
your scanner:
Place the scanner on a flat, horizontal, stable surface. If the
scanner is tilted or at an angle, it cannot operate properly.
Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the
cable to reach.
Allow some space behind the scanner for the cables, and
make sure to place the scanner where you can easily
unplug the power cord. Also allow sufficient space above
the scanner so that you can fully raise the document cover
if necessary.
Keep the scanner away from high temperatures and
humidity and places subject to rapid changes of
temperature and humidity.
Keep the scanner away from direct sunlight and strong
light sources.
Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
