        - Do not place any objects weighing 4.4 lb / 2.0 kg or more on the Platen Glass.
        - Do not put any pressure of 4.4 lb / 2.0 kg or more on the Platen Glass, such as pressing down the original.
        Failure to observe the above may cause the scanner to malfunction or the Platen Glass to break.
        
      • The machine cannot scan the shaded area (A) (0.04 inches / 1 mm from the edges of the Platen Glass).
        
        
        
      • To ensure the best print quality, the machine allows a margin along each edge of media. The actual printable area will be the area inside these margins.
