Memo
If you want to scan an image from a small piece of
paper that can't be held with the magnets, copy
that image onto a larger piece of paper, and then
place it on the scanning frame.
Note
When placing the paper in the scanning frame,
make sure that the white balance area is not
hidden; otherwise, the drawing cannot be scanned
correctly. At the same time, be sure to place the
scan image within the scan area. The image out of
the scan area will not be scanned.

White balance area
2
Scan area
Make sure that the white balance area or the scan
area is not dirty or scratched; otherwise, the image
cannot be scanned correctly.
Use the magnets which are included with the
scanning frame. If any other magnets are used,
they may become attached to the machine during
scanning, or other problems, such as a misaligned
scan image, may occur.
Be sure to place the magnets so that they secure
the paper firmly. If the paper is placed unevenly,
the image cannot be scanned correctly.
If the scanning frame is dirty, wipe it with a cloth
dampened with a diluted neutral detergent
solution.
