Getting your photos
ready to scan
1. When organizing your photos for scanning, stack the photos so the
edges are aligned and centered in the input tray. This allows the
feeder to introduce photos into the scanner one at a time.
2. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. Staples and
paper clips on photos may damage the scanner and photos.
3. Any inks and correction fluids on the photos must be dry before
scanning is started.
4. Place the photos you want to scan in the input tray of the scanner.
Be sure the side of the photo(s) you want to scan is face up (see
below).
NOTE: If you want to keep your photos in a specific order, do the
following:
Take your photos and place them face down on the table. Take
your first batch from the top of this stack and place them face up
in the scanner.
For example, if your stack has 9 photos, you would place them
face down on the table so that photo 1 is facing the table, and
the back of photo 9 is on the top of the stack. If you take the first
5 photos on the top of this stack (9,8,7,6,5) and place them face
up in the scanner and scan them, as the scanner empties, place
the rest of the photos (4,3,2,1) in the scanner face up.
When the stack is completely scanned, the software will reorder
the image files so that photo 1 will be image 1 and photo 9 will
be image 9, etc. When you are using this method, do not stop
the scanner during scanning, otherwise the photos will not be in
the desired order. You may want to increase the transport
timeout using this method.
