4. Prepare Your Photos For Scanning
  1. Sort By Size - Organise photos by size (e.g., all 4×6 photos together) to ensure smooth feeding through the scanner.
  2. Remove Attachments - Take off any staples, paper clips, sticky notes or tape that could damage the scanner or cause jams.
  3. Load Properly - Insert up to 36 photos face up in the input tray; mixed orientations are supported by the software.
  4. Adjust Settings - Position the input tray guides to match your photo size and extend the output tray fully.

 

Tip: Scan smaller or delicate photos individually to prevent jams and ensure quality.
