Lower the ADF or the exposure glass cover.

When you place a thick book or three-dimensional original on the exposure glass and lower the ADF, the back side of the ADF rises up to accommodate the original. Keep your hands away from the hinges at the back of the ADF when you close it.
Take care to place originals after any correction fluid and ink has completely dried. Not taking this precaution could cause marks on the exposure glass that will be scanned.
