When Scanning in Thick Media Positions

Introduction
The scanner employs an automatic self-adjustment procedure (light profile, stitching etc.)
that can only activate itself 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-self-adjust the next time you turn it ON.

at points between the cameras (overlapping pixels). In such cases, the stitching parameters
will need to be modified. You can modify stitching parameters through your scanning
application in the following way:
Insert your thick original in the scanner and scan the image using your scanning applica-
