Place documents correctly according to the type of document to be scanned. Otherwise, documents may not be scanned correctly. Important 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 4.4lbs (2.0 kg). If you press heavily, the scanner may not work correctly or you might break the glass. Close the Document Cover when scanning.

Without the FAU Protective Sheet, the document type may not be detected correctly. Note See "Placing Film" to scan film.
