Placing a reflective original
Placing reflectives
You can place a reflective originals directly on the scanner's glass
plate with its image side down.
Place the original on the glass plate, with its top side against
the middle of the left ruler.
For faster scanning, slide the original into one of the corners. This
special Horizon Ultra feature allows the scanner to take advantage
of its special pixel reading mecanism by skipping the empty parts
of the scan bed. Optical performance of a CCD scanner is always
best near the middle of the glass plate. However, for the relatively
low resolutions at which reflective originals are scanned, sliding
originals to the side will not decrease quality.
Close the document cover of the scanner.
