3. Press and hold the Paper Forward key (arrow up) key to raise the
guide plate until there is room to insert the thick original.
4. Insert the thick original evenly for a straight scan path.
5. Press and hold the Paper Reverse (arrow down) key to lower the
guide plate until the guide plate stops on its own.
6. The Paper Ready indicator will turn yellow (stop blinking) when
the guide plate is positioned correctly and is ready for thick media
scanning.
7. The scanner will automatically leave the ATAC mode, which
means that the Paper Forward and Paper Reverse keys will return
to their normal functionality for moving the original forwards and
backwards.
5.2.3 When Scanning in Extended Media Positions
The Normal position (Step 0: 2mm/0.08") is detected by a sensor in
the scanner. Auto-adjustment of the scanner's light profile, stitching
etc. only takes place in the Normal position. With extended media
thickness positions, the last performed auto-adjustment is stored and
utilized. This means that you should from time to time return to the
normal position, and especially when turning the scanner on, to allow
it to auto-adjust.
The Normal position also gives the highest scanning speed. In the
extended media thickness positions, scanning speed is automatically
reduced.
Modifying Stitching Parameters
Thick stiff originals will rest on top of the scanner rollers and thus raise
a small distance over the glass plate, which will lead to changes in the
stitching of images at points between the cameras (overlapping
pixels). The stitching parameters will need to be modified in order to
correct for this. You can modify stitching parameters through your
scanning application.
To modify the stitching insert your thick original in the scanner, scan
the image in your application and check the result in the viewer for
overlapping or missing pixels in the camera transition areas. Then
adjust the value in the application's dialogs. Repeat scanning and
adjustment until the effect is minimized.
The modified stitching parameters will automatically be selected when
in one of the extended media positions.
