About Thick Media Settings and Auto Adjustment
On scanners:
Scanner's Auto-adjustment – only in the Normal position.
The scanner employs an automatic self-adjustment procedure (light profile, stitching etc.) that can only
auto-activate when the scanner is in the Normal position. With prolonged scanning in extended thickness
settings, you should from time to time return the scanner to its Normal position to allow it to self-adjust.
This will ensure refreshed self-adjustment and optimal performance of your scanner. Make a habit of
always setting the scanner in the Normal position when shutting down, so it can auto-adjust the next time
you turn it ON.
NOTE: The scanner runs at its optimal speed in the Normal position. To allow stable drive handling,
scanning speed is automatically reduced when the scanner is in the extended thickness positions.
Stitching Offsets – stitching correction when scanning thick media:
