When Scanning Standard Size Originals (Check the Position of the Scanner)

When scanning standard size, plain paper originals, scan in the vertical path position.
When scanning award certificates and other thick originals (originals with a thickness 127 g/m² or more), scan in the straight path position and load only one original at a time.
