How to use

Place the document or photo face-down on the flatbed glass aligned with the guide marks. Use the scanner driver or bundled software to choose the desired scan settings such as resolution (up to 600 dpi), color mode (24-bit color) and file format. Preview the scan to adjust cropping and color corrections, then execute the final scan. Save the scanned file to a local drive or network location and, if required, use image editing or OCR software for further processing.

Recommendations

For best results, clean the flatbed glass before scanning to avoid dust or smudges. Use 300 dpi for standard document archiving and 600 dpi when scanning photos or images that require finer detail. Choose 24-bit color for color originals and grayscale mode for black-and-white documents to reduce file size. When scanning fragile originals, handle documents gently and avoid applying pressure to the glass.
