In order to start scanning, place the given number of disks (from 1 to 6) in the scanner so that all of them are in the scanning area (A4 area). No special peripheral device is necessary for correct scanning. Disks can be located at random.

An example disks arrangement on the scanner (Fig. bellow) - the most convenient way as information inserted by the driver will be easy to read from such scanned disks.
