Mounting Originals Directly On The Mounting Plate - SCANVIEW ScanmateF8+ Operator's Manual

Handling originals and mounting plates

MOUNTING ORIGINALS DIRECTLY ON THE MOUNTING PLATE

NOTE: For mounting transparencies, we recommend that you use templates
(see below).
Originals can be mounted on the mounting plate while the plate is in the
scanner. Or the mounting plate can be removed from the scanner and placed
on an external light table, with or without the optional EasyMount™ mounting
table.
Images will be shown head up on the computer screen if they are
mounted with their top edge towards the left-hand side of the scanner.
1 • Check that both the top plate and base plate are clean and dry.
2 • Place transmission originals on the base plate with the emulsion side
down and the top edge facing towards the left-hand side of the scanner.
• If the originals are flat, it will be possible to close the top
plate without their moving. If they move when the top
plate is shut, use a good quality lithographic tape to tape
them in position.
• Make sure the originals do not cover the white strip on
the underside of the base plate.
Place reflection originals face down on the base plate with the top
edge towards the left-hand side of the scanner.
• If you want to be able to view the originals after doing
the preview scan, mount them on the inside surface of
the top plate so they face down when the top plate is
closed. This is easiest to do with the optional
EasyMount™ mounting table (see below).
