This section provides information on how to operate the ArtixScan 2500. The subjects covered in this section include

how to position your images for scanning and how to use the various holders included in your scanner package when

scanning transparent film.

This procedure applies when you use the upper scan bed of the ArtixScan 2500. The upper scan bed is used for

scanning reflective materials such as photos and prints.

A. General scanning

Place images anywhere on the glass scanner bed. Images

can be scanned at a maximum optical resolution of 1250

dpi (or at higher resolutions through software interpola-

tion). To scan images in the area marked "HIGH

RESOLUTION" (see next section)

1. Lift the scanner lid. If you are scanning a book or

thick materials / documents, lift the scanner lid out of

its hinge sockets high enough to create room between

the materials and the lid.

2. Place the image to be scanned face down on the

scanner glass. Center the top of the image along the

horizontal ruler on the scanner. Then lower the

scanner lid.

be scanned on the 4-inch wide area running the whole

length of the scanner bed, as shown in the illustration

below. A section of the horizontal ruler is marked off

with the words "HIGH RESOLUTION" to guide you in

placement. Images in this area can be scanned at a

maximum optical resolution of 2,500 dpi (or at higher

resolutions through software interpolation).
