Scanning Thick Media

Scanning Thick Media
You may need to scan documents and drawings printed or pasted on thick
media such as cardboard, foamboards, gatorboards etc. To do so, you will
need to fit the insertion slot to the thickness of your original. This is done by
raising the pressure-platen to the exact correct height.
NOTE:
Remove the paper-return guides when scanning thick/rigid
media.
Automatic Thick Media Adjustment (ATAC)
Your scanner supports Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control (ATAC)
with Up and Down keys. You use the keys to raise and lower the pressure-
platen and thus can change the insertion slot size (pressure-platen height)
on your scanner in the range from 2mm t
o 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
functionality.
To adjust the insertion slot for thick media with ATAC:
2. Press and hold down the ATAC Up-
key on your operator‟s panel to
raise the pressure platen and enlarge the insertion slot until there is
room to insert the thick original.
3. The
ATAC Indicator
blinks yellow indicating the scanner is in ATAC
mode.
4. Insert the thick original evenly for a straight scan path.
5. Press and hold the ATAC Down-Key to lower the pressure-platen until
the pressure-platen rests on the original and stops on its own.
6. The
ATAC
indicator will stop blinking and remain yellow when the
pressure-platen is positioned correctly and is ready for thick media
scanning.
7. When finished scanning, and you have ejected the thick original, press
and hold the ATAC Down-Key to return the pressure-platen to its
normal position. The
ATAC i
ndicator LED will turn off
.
1.
Press the ATAC Up-key to
raise the pressure platen
2.
Press the ATAC Down-
key to lower the pressure
platen and match to the
thick original
