Image is Scanned Upside-Down
Your product scans using the Auto Photo Orientation setting. This setting checks the preview image
for faces, the sky, and other features, and then correctly rotates the photo when it is scanned, if
necessary.
If your photo is not oriented correctly using this option, you can turn Auto Photo Orientation off and
scan again. When Photo Mode is selected, select Thumbnail Options from the Main Settings tab.
Select On or Off and scan your document again.
Note: Auto Photo Orientation does not work when you scan newspapers, magazines, documents,
illustrations, or line art, or images smaller than 2 inches (5.1 cm) on any side.
