Document Sizes Marked On The Scanner; Transparent And Opaque Originals; Double-Sided Originals; Thickness Of Media Compatible With Smartlf - Colortrac SmartLF 4080E Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

DOCUMENT SIZES MARKED ON THE SCANNER

To scan a non-standard size of document select a
document size that is larger than the document you
need to scan. The SmartLF software will allow
'cropping' (removal of unwanted square edges
from) of the image before saving it to computer. If
the document is rectangular the auto-sizing option
will detect the width of the document and determine
the length of the document automatically.
NOTE: Auto-sizing is not 100% effective for all types of document.

TRANSPARENT AND OPAQUE ORIGINALS

SmartLF will set-size scan and auto-size scan, clear and opaque media. Clear acetate drawings will often produce
betters results when used with a white backing sheet. A scanning wallet with an integral white backing sheet can be
effective.

DOUBLE-SIDED ORIGINALS

Originals that have information on both sides can sometimes benefit from being scanned with a black backing sheet
placed behind the image to be captured. Wallets with a black backing surface and clear acetate front can be useful.

THICKNESS OF MEDIA COMPATIBLE WITH SMARTLF

SmartLF is compatible with many types of media including synthetic, polyesters, Mylar and general office tracing and
inkjet papers. The accuracy of SmartLF is valid for media up to 0.8mm thick and may vary depending on the operating
environment. The document thickness limit for SmartLF is 2mm.

STIFFNESS OF MEDIA COMPATIBLE WITH SMARTLF

SmartLF will handle all regular media of 60g/m
example some newspapers) and these may become creased in the scanner unless protected inside a suitable scan
wallet. Wallets can be readily obtained from stationery suppliers or improvised by folding some clear acetate and
placing the document into the fold. Best results are obtained by loading the wallet fold-first into the scanner. Set the
VPHD for minimum pressure to reduce the chance of starting a 'concertina fold' when scanning low-stiffness papers.

SCANNER MAINTENANCE

SmartLF will need some occasional glass and colour calibration maintenance. For best results follow the instructions
below.

GLASS CONTAMINATION AND SCRATCHING

The SmartLF scanner glass is chemically treated and should resist scratching from paper clips, abrasive dust and
staples but Colortrac recommend that the operator take all reasonable steps to ensure that scan documents are clean
and free from metallic appendages. The scan glass should be cleaned with a low-smear, high quality glass cleaning
product and a clean lint-free cloth. In the event of the scan glass becoming badly scratched and affecting the scans,
replacements can be ordered from your Colortrac supplier.
(More serious maintenance issues such as electronic or internal mechanical failure should be referred to your
approved service agent for diagnosis and repair).
