  • Page 13: Maintenance

    Colortrac Scanner Operator Manual. MAINTENANCE Left/Right and Front Back Stitch If the scanner has been transported, the alignment of the cameras may need adjusting. This can be carried out automatically by inserting the auto stitch target centrally (except 4280e models where the target is offset - see markings on target) into the scanner and selecting the option on the host software to carry out the auto stitch operation.
  • Page 14: Trouble Shooting

    Colortrac Scanner Operator Manual. TROUBLE SHOOTING Lights on scanner control panel fail to come on Check that the power supply is connected to the scanner. Check that the scanner is switched on. Check that the SCSI bus is correctly terminated.
  • Page 15 There is a vertical discontinuity in the image half way across the whole scanner width (4260e or 3680e) or 1/3 or 2/3 of the way across the scanner (5480e or 4280e). Carry out the auto stitch procedure. If this does not solve the problem re-stitch using auto stitch function with the auto stitch target attached to a piece of media of similar physical qualities to the document which is being scanned.
