How to use

Connect the scanner to a computer using the USB cable and install any required drivers or software supplied by the manufacturer. Place the stack of documents face up in the automatic document feeder, align edges as recommended, and select duplex mode if scanning double-sided pages. Use the bundled or preferred scanning application to choose resolution (up to 600 dpi), output format (PDF, searchable PDF or image formats), and destination folder. Monitor the scanning process and remove any misfeeds if prompted. For OCR, run the recognition function in the scanning software to create searchable text from scanned images.

Recommendations

For reliable results, use clean, uncreased paper and avoid staples or paper clips before feeding documents into the ADF. Select 600 dpi for documents requiring high detail or for archival purposes and lower resolution for bulk text pages to improve speed and reduce file size.
