Note: The edges of your original may be cropped by 0.06 inch (1.5 mm) from the edge of the
scanner glass. Manually position your original away from the edges to prevent cropping.
Note: When placing bulky originals such as books, prevent exterior light from shining directly onto
the scanner glass.
3. Close the document cover gently to keep your original in place.
Caution: Do not push down on the document cover or scanner glass or you may damage the
product.
Warning: Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the document cover or you may be
injured.
Remove your originals after scanning. If you leave the originals on the scanner glass for a long time, they
may stick to the glass surface.

The scanner isn't detecting the document in the feeder
The Epson ET-3850 scanner is not detecting the document in the feeder because it mistakenly thinks the document is placed on the scanner glass instead of the feeder. This issue may be due to an error in the automatic document feeder (ADF) sensor or settings. A possible workaround is to turn off the printer, turn it back on, reselect the settings, and ensure the ADF light is on before placing the document back in the feeder.
