How do I load photos in the input tray?
-
You can load up to 30 photos that meet the scanner's photo specifications in the input tray.
Note: Loading thick photos reduces the maximum number of photos that can be loaded in a single batch.
Before loading multiple photos, prepare the photos as described in the link below.
Caution:
Do not load fragile or irreplaceable photos, or valuable original documents or artwork, directly into the input tray. This may wrinkle or damage the original. Load these originals one at a time using a carrier sheet. Do not scan Polaroid photos. Polaroid photos are too thick, and can damage the photo or your scanner.Follow these guidelines when loading photos:
- Do not mix photos and documents.
- Scan photos of the same size in a batch.
- Do not add more photos during scanning.
- The total thickness of the photo stack must be less than 0.3 inch (8 mm) including any curve in the photos.
- Scan photos larger than 5 x 7 inches (127 x 178 mm) one at a time.
Caution:
Do not scan Polaroid photos. Polaroid photos are too thick, and can damage the photo or your scanner.- Pull up the input tray extension, extend the output tray, and flip up the stopper.
Note: If you are scanning large photos, do not flip up the stopper.
- Slide the input tray edge guides all the way out.
- Check to make sure that the page separation lever is in the position shown here.
Note: To prevent paper jams, keep the lever in this position for most types of photos. If you are scanning a photo using a carrier sheet, slide it to the upper position.
- Flip your photos so they are facedown.
- Fan your stack of photos and tap them gently on a flat surface to even the edges.
- Load your photos into the center of the input tray facedown, in landscape orientation and top edge first, then slide them in until they meet resistance.
Note: If you have both portrait- and landscape-oriented photos in the same stack, you can rotate the portrait images after scanning.
- Slide the edge guides against the edges of the photos.
