contact  your  physician.
Safety  Precautions
● Backing  up  important  data
Always  back  up  important 
data  in  camera  memory 
to  a  computer  hard  disk. 
Failure  to  do  so  creates 
the  risk  of  data  loss  due 
to  camera  malfunction, 
maintenance,  etc.
● Protecting  camera  memory  contents
Make  sure  you  carefully  follow  the 
instructions  in  the  User’s  Guide  when 
replacing  the  camera  battery. 
Incorrectly  replacing  the  battery  can 
cause  data  to  become  corrupted  or 
lost.
● Using  the  flash
● Traveling
Do  not  position  the 
camera  too  close  to  a 
person’s  face  when  firing 
the  flash.  Sudden 
brightness  can  cause  eye 
damage  and  other 
problems.
When  traveling  with  the 
camera,  never  use  it 
inside  of  an  aircraft  or 
anywhere  else  where  the 
use  of  such  devices  is 
not  allowed.  Improper  use 
of  the  camera  creates 
the  risk  of  accident.
● Moving  the  stand  and  camera
When  moving  the  stand  and  camera,  never 
pick  them  up  by  the  arm  or  by  the  camera. 
Doing  so  puts  a  very  large  load  on  the  arm

electric  shock.
E-5
Operating  Precautions
PJ  Camera  and  PJ  Camera  Stand
Note  that  the  PJ  Camera  and  the  PJ  Camera  Stand  are  shipped  from  the  factory  as  a  set,  and 
are  intended  for  sale  and  use  as  a  set.  Proper  operation  in  any  other  configuration  is  not 
guaranteed.
PJ  Document  Stage
 Never  write  on  the  document  stage  and  take  care  to  guard  against  scratching  or  otherwise 
damaging  it.  Writing  or  other  marks  on  the  document  stage  can  interfere  with  projection  in  the 
Document  Camera  Mode  and  scanning  in  the  Scanner  Mode.
 External  Light
Room  illumination,  sunlight,  or  light  from  some  other  source  shining  onto  the  document  stage 
during  a  Document  Camera  Mode  or  Scanner  Mode  image  recording  operation  can  cause  white 
out  and  other  image  abnormalities.
PJ  Camera
 Never  subject  the  camera  to  strong  impact.  Doing  so  creates  the  risk  of  malfunction. 
 When  mounting  the  camera  onto  the  camera  holder,  make  sure  that  it  is  connected  correctly 
and  securely.  Incorrectly  attaching  the  camera  can  cause  it  to  fall,  resulting  in  malfunction.  Take 
care  to  avoid  dropping  the  camera  when  removing  it  from  the  stand. 
 To  protect  against  accidentally  dropping  the  camera,  make  sure  to  have  the  strap  around  your 
fingers  when  removing  the  camera  from  the  stand. 
 Never  apply  too  much  force  when  cleaning  the  surface  of  the  lens.  Doing  so  can  scratch  the 
lens  surface  and  cause  malfunction.
 Fingerprints,  dust,  or  any  other  soiling  of  the  lens  can  interfere  with  proper  image  recording. 
Never  touch  the  lens  with  your  fingers.  You  can  blow  dust  particles  from  the  lens  surface  with  a 
lens  blower.  Next,  wipe  the  surface  of  the  lens  with  a  soft  lens  cloth.
 All  of  the  battery  operation  times  shown  in  the  camera  manual  indicate  reference  values  for  how 
long  it  should  take  until  the  camera  shuts  down  under  continuous  operation  when  powered  by 
the  specified  special  battery  under  standard  temperature  (23ºC/73ºF).  They  do  not  guarantee  that 
you  will  be  able  to  achieve  the  specified  battery  operation  times  during  normal  use.  Note  that 
battery  operation  time  is  greatly  affected  by  temperature,  the  amount  of  time  the  battery  spent 
in  storage  and  the  storage  conditions,  and  other  factors. 
 Leaving  the  camera  turned  on  runs  down  the  battery,  which  will  cause  the  low  power  alert  to 
appear.  Be  sure  to  turn  off  the  camera  when  you  are  not  using  it. 
 The  low  battery  warning  indicator  will  appear  just  before  the  camera  powers  down.  Charge  the 
battery  as  soon  as  possible  when  the  indicator  appears.  Continued  use  of  a  low  battery  can 
cause  it  to  leak,  or  can  result  in  corrupted  image  data. 
 The  camera  becomes  warm  to  the  touch  during  use.  This  is  normal  and  does  not  indicate 
malfunction.
 Based  on  the  types  of  colors  in  the  original  and  its  layout,  the  PJ  Camera  automatically 
determines  whether  the  original  is  monochrome  or  color,  and  then  performs  one  of  the  following 
image  enhancement  processes. 
 Monochrome  Original:  Enhancement  of  contrast,  etc.
 Color  Original:  Correction  process  with  emphasis  on  color  reproduction
Note  that  faithful  color  reproduction  may  not  be  possible  in  cases  when  it  is  difficult  to  detect 
whether  the  original  is  monochrome  or  color,  or  due  to  limitations  in  the  document  processing 
operation.  This  does  not  indicate  malfunction  of  the  PJ  Camera.
E-6
Operating  Precautions
Helpful  Operation  Hints
 If  the  Adjust  Camera  Position  dialog  box  appears,  adjust  the  position  of  the  PJ  Camera  so  the 
cross  mark  on  the  document  stage  is  within  the  yellow  frame.  When  the  cross  is  within  the 
yellow  frame,  the  system  will  take  over  and  adjust  camera  position  automatically. 
 Never  touch  the  PJ  Camera  or  PJ  Camera  Stand  while  the  automatic  camera  position 
 When  placing  a  subject  onto  the  document  stage,  position  it  so  the  cross  mark  of  the  document

stage  is  hidden  from  the  camera. 
 To  avoid  problems  with  trapezoid  correction,  make  sure  that  none  of  the  edges  of  the  document 
run  along  the  edges  of  the  document  stage.  Also  make  sure  that  the  edges  of  the  document 
do  not  run  along  any  of  the  hinges  of  the  document  stage.
 Set  up  the  document  stage  so  the  PJ  Camera  Stand  does  not  cast  a  shadow  onto  the  subject 
being  recorded.
Use  in  an  Area  Subjected  to  Strong  Radio  Waves
 Use  of  the  PJ  Camera  in  an  area  where  there  are  strong  radio  waves  from  a  cell  phone, 
wireless  device,  or  other  source  can  cause  static  noise  in  recorded  images.  If  this  happens,  use 
the  PJ  Camera  in  a  different  location  or  eliminate  the  source  of  the  radio  waves.
