Find the pages you want to scan with Microcard Viewer

The scanner does not give you a readable preview until after you have scanned so before you start you have to find the pages you want to scan with our microcard viewer.

• Pull out the microcard tray until the glass on the tray lifts up and slide the Microcard under the glass, printed side up with the bottom of the page facing towards you.
• Slide the microcard tray all the way in, and turn on viewer
• The arrows on the side of the tray point to a number (the row) and the red arrow above the tray points at a letter (the column). Align the microcard tray to 1-A to see the first page on the Micro card.
• Fix a tilted image with the image rotation slider.
• Find the page or pages you want to scan and make note of what page number you want to print.
• Place the card into the scanner text side down and top side toward the front (upside-down).

(Now get and use the scanning microcard instructions. Some of the following overlaps with the scanning instructions)

• Once on the scanner screen select Opaque Micro card as the Type and select Preview.
• Now you can use the row and column location you took note of to quickly select the pages on the card you want to scan.

The example below shows 5-A selected.
