• Drum position: use this pop-up menu to set the drum position.
Depending on your feeder, you might use this to load/unload the
original holder and to set the scanner for scanning.
• Feeder position: use this pop-up menu to adjust the position of the
feeder magazine. You might use this to reset the feeder or to prepare it
for moving or storage.
• Tray displacement: usually, you will not need this, but if your feeder
has trouble moving an original in or out of the scanner (e.g., because
the original was not mounted properly), then you can use this to step
the feeder up or down a few notches. This is completely reset the next
time the feeder moves to load a new original.
• Mount: all feeders require a special mounting procedure that is assisted
by software. Click here to prepare the scanner to accept the feeder and
then follow the instructions in your feeder manual and on your screen.
• Unmount: this command helps you to safely remove a feeder from your
scanner. Click here to prepare the scanner to release the feeder and then
follow the instructions in your feeder manual and on your screen. <--

Scanning with a Feeder

When you are using a batch feeder, you will usually use either the batch-
scan feature or the 3f workflow. When you use the Flextight RF scanner,
you must always scan to 3f. For complete details about each of these
methods, please see:
• "Working with 3f" on page 117 for details about the 3f workflow.
• "Batch Scanning" on page 109 for details about using the standard batch
scan to TIFF workflow.
If you are using your batch feeder to build an image library, then we
strongly recommend the 3f workflow because it allows for easy scanning
and maximum flexibility. If you are scanning a relatively small batch for
an immediate one-off job, then you might choose to use either 3f or the
standard batch-to-TIFF function.
