Mounting Originals Directly On The Mounting Plate - Scan View SCANMATE F10 User Manual

Handling originals and mounting plates
• To remove the mounting plate from the scanner, use its two side handles.
• To remove the top plate only, raise it to vertical position and carefully lift
it out of the rear hinges.

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.
Be particularly sure that the glass under the white
calibration strip is kept clean.
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.
