Scanning Batches and Thick Reflectives with the Flatbed
If you need to scan a large number of transparencies quickly, you can
position them between the glass plates in the ßatbed drawer and use
the batch scan feature of the ColorFlex software.
You can also use the glass plates to scan reßective originals up to 10 mm
(0.39") in thickness. The bottom plate is attached to springs that apply
pressure upwards. The top plate presses downwards, thereby holding
your original in position.
WARNING: Do not attempt to scan any original thicker than 10mm. If
you do, the glass plates may break as the ßatbed is drawn into the scan-
ner during the scan.
1. Pull out the ßatbed support as far as it will go by pulling on the
drawer support handle shown in Figure 2.
2. Press the drawer button (shown in Figure 1). The ßatbed drawer
opens automatically.
IMPORTANT: if a problem occurs when the drawer is opening
(such as an obstruction), you can stop the drawer by pressing the
drawer button again.
3. If necessary, remove the electrostatic plate as described in ÒRemov-
ing the Electrostatic PlateÓ on page 13.
4. Lift the top glass plate by inserting your index Þngers into the gaps
behind the electrostatic plate door (shown in Figure 2) and lifting.
Lift the top glass plate all the way up until it stops. It will remain
held open.
5. Position your originals on the bottom glass plate. Note that by plac-
ing your originals along the center of the plate, you will be able to
use the highest possible resolution setting, which is dependent on
the width of your original (see Figure 7).
6. Gently pull the top glass plate back down. There will be some ini-
tial resistance, but it will move very easily after you pull it down
about half way. Do not allow the plate to fall, but slowly lie it down
over your originals.
