Scanners with Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control (ATAC) have an
ATAC key on the operator's panel. You use the key to raise and lower the
pressure-platen. You can change the insertion slot size (pressure-platen
height) on your scanner from 2mm to 15 mm (up to 0.6"). Originals up to
2mm thick should be scanned with the pressure all the way down (normal
position). Thicker originals will require you use the ATAC key to adjust for
thick media.
