Feed photo scanners let you scan a stack of photographs without changing between pictures manually. A special direct-feed tray on the scanner holds your stack of photographs and feeds them through on its own. Photographers and picture enthusiasts with unending stacks of photos will find that direct-feed scanners save them time when processing large groups of photos. Check the instruction manual for any special instructions that pertain only to your specific scanner.
Instructions
1. Examine the photographs you plan to scan and ensure they are flat. If you printed the photos, wait for the ink to dry completely to keep the photos from sticking together and to avoid damaging the scanner.
2. Slide out the tray for loading your documents, found on top of the scanner. It should slide up at an angle. Larger scanners may have a flat tray that does not need to be adjusted.
3. Turn the stack of photographs face down and insert them into the tray. Push downward until the photographs will slide in no farther. Check that the sides slide into the grooves on either side of the loading tray.
4. Press the "Scan" button and wait for scanning to complete. Remove your photographs from the bottom tray.
