Placing Documents
Place documents as described below to allow the machine to detect the document type or size
automatically.
Important
When scanning by specifying the document type or size in MP Navigator EX or ScanGear (scanner
driver), align an upper corner of the document with the corner at the arrow of the Platen.
Do not place items that weigh 4.4 lbs (2.0 kg) or more on the Platen. Also, do not press on the
document with a force exceeding 4.4 lbs (2.0 kg). If you press heavily, the scanner may not work
correctly or you might break the glass.
When scanning with the Document Cover fully open or with the machine placed upright, the
document type may not be detected automatically. In that case, specify the document type in MP
Navigator EX or ScanGear (scanner driver).
Photos that have been cut to various shapes and documents smaller than 1.18 inches (3 cm)
square cannot be cropped accurately when scanning.
Reflective CD/DVD labels may not be scanned properly.
