Installing the Parallel lnterface Card Follow the steps in this section if you need to install the bidirectional parallel interface card in your computer. You may also need to configure the card before you install it. Some computers come with a built-in bidirectional parallel interface. You do not need to install the parallel interface board if your computer has a built-in interface that you are not currently using.
Carefully remove the interface board from its packaging, holding it only by its top edges. Then place it on a flat, clean surface. Caution: Avoid touching the components or the gold contacts on the interface board; they can be damaged by static electricity. Locate jumpers J1 and J2 on the interface board, as shown below.

Scanning Documents Now you are ready to start scanning using the built-in document feeder. For instructions on using the attachable business card guide, see your ES3OOGS User's Guide. When scanning documents, respect the rights of the copyright holders. Don’t scan published materials without first checking the copyright status. 1. First, select a multiple page document to scan (up to 10 pages on standard bond paper). Make sure all the pages are the same size and paper weight.
3. Fan the edges of your document; then level the stack by tapping it on a flat surface. 4. Hold the document with the side to be scanned facing down and guide it into the scanner’s document feeder, as shown. 5. Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of the paper. The scanner feeds the first page into scanning position. 6. Start Windows. You see the Xerox DDMS Control Panel window, shown below, and the Paper Sensor icon on your Windows desktop.
After a few moments, the Xerox Scanning Interface dialog box appears as the active window. Note: The Xerox Scanning Interface dialog box appears automatically only after the Paper Sensor detects paper loaded in the scanner. For this first scan, do not adjust any of the other image settings available in the dialog box. Choose Scan. The scanner reads the first page, and after a moment a scanned image of the page appears in the Preview area, the large rectangle in the dialog box.
10. Click Done. You see the Xerox Image Manager window. From the Image Manager, you can save your scanned document to a file, or print, fax, or e-mail the document without saving it.
