•
The Paper Ready indicator stays ON, signifying that the scanner
is ready to be controlled from the computer.
•
During scanning the Ready indicator will blink.
•
At end of scanning the Ready indicator will stop blinking signifying
that scanning can be repeated from the computer, or else
terminated by ejecting the original from the scanner.
•
The paper ready indicator will light red if the guide-plate is in
thick media setting (a raised guide plate) but no media is detected
in the scanner. This applies for a guide-plate raised either
manually or through Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control
(ATAC).
9. Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control (ATAC) key
Some scanner models support Automatic Thickness Adjustment
Control for easy adjustment of the guide plate level for scanning thick
media. The next section of this manual describes thick media
scanning in detail.
Pressing the ATAC key toggles scanner operation between ATAC
mode and the normal Paper Forward/Reverse mode.
When the scanner is in ATAC mode:
•
The Paper Ready indicator blinks yellow.
•
The Paper Forward and Paper Reverse keys become "Guide
plate up" and "Guide plate Down" keys.
•
When the guide plate has been lowered and is adjusted for
the thick media, the Paper Ready indicator turns yellow
(stops blinking) indicating that the scanner is ready to scan
thick media.
•
When the guide plate has been lowered and is adjusted for
the thick media, the scanner automatically goes out of ATAC
mode, which means that the Paper Forward and Paper
Reverse keys return to their normal functionality.
The steps for scanning thick media on scanners with and without
Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control (ATAC) are described in the
next section.
