Original delivery
Introduction
There are 3 ways to deliver the originals after scanned:
Catch back
The standard included catch back can be mounted In the stand of the scanner. This catch back
will prevent the originals drops on the floor and get dirty or damaged.
The return guide can be mounted upwards, so it guides the original over the top of the scanner
for productive scanning.
For more stiff originals, the document return guides can be mounted downwards.
After connecting the scanner to the external power supply, switch the main power switch to
position I. When the main power switch is in position I, the „Power“ button will be illuminated
and the scanner is in standby mode.
To turn off the scanner, press and hold the „Power“ button for at least three seconds. While
pressing the button, a “click” sound is audible.
The content of the touchscreen and the external monitor changes and display the system
message.
Finally the touchscreen and the external monitor switch off .

[Quality]
Introduction
Select here the color parameters, set the resolution and set the scan mode.
[Color Mode]
[Color Space]
Available are three predefined color spaces, which can be used while scanning.
Touch the button to select the color space.
[Native]
Color space determined by the hardware (CCD camera) of the scanner.
[AdobeRGB]
This is an RGB color space, defined by Adobe Systems. It contains half of the colors defined for
the Lab color space.
[sRGB]
The standard RGB (sRGB) color space is a color space with a reduced amount of colors.
[ICC Profiles]
Touch [On] to activate the ICC profile for the external monitor.
[Invert]
This setting is only available with the color modes [Binary] and [Enhanced Halftone].
[DPI]
[Scan Mode]

the higher the resolution, the lower the scan speed.
[High Quality]
Reduces the scan speed to the half but improves the scanning quality.
[Stitching]
Stitching allows selecting a stitching method.
[None]
Select this setting when scanning plain documents with the paper transport wings inserted.
[Adaptive 2D]
Default setting.
Select this setting when scanning documents with uneven structured surface, e.g. multiple folded
papers. The image data will be merged dynamically. The time until the image is displayed will
increase a little.
[Enhancement]
Introduction
Set here the values for image enhancement.
[Brightness]
The Brightness slider defines the resulting brightness in the image. Lower brightness values
result in darker images, higher values result in brighter images.
Values close to 0% or to 100% may result in unwanted artifacts.
Touch the slider and move it to the desired position to set the value.
Otherwise touch the buttons + (plus) or – (minus) to modify the value.
[Contrast]
The Contrast slider defines the contrast in the image. Lower contrast values result in “smoother”
images; higher values show more details and the images become “crisper”.
Values close to 0 % or to 100 % may result in unwanted artifacts.
Touch the slider and move it to the desired position to set the value.
Otherwise touch the buttons + (plus) or – (minus) to modify the value.
[Image Sharpness]
The Image Sharpness slider invokes an advanced automatic sharpening algorithm which
sharpens the image before any other operation is performed.
The value “zero” disables the function. Very high values may produce artifacts depending on the
type of document.
Touch the slider and move it to the desired position to set the value.
Otherwise touch the buttons + (plus) or – (minus) to modify the value.
[Illumination]
Illumination allows selecting from four different illumination settings for the scan sequence.

surface structure.
[Top]:
The resulting image shows the object as illuminated from the top side.
[Bottom]:
The resulting image shows the object as illuminated from the bottom side.
[3D Light]:
The resulting image shows the surface of the scanned object with a 3D effect. This improves the
results while scanning
[Exposure]
[Black Threshold] sets the threshold for black. All pixel values found in the image below the
selected value are set to solid black.
[White Threshold] sets the threshold for white. All pixel values found in the image above the
selected value are set to white.
[Threshold]
This setting is only available with the color modes [Binary] and [Enhanced Halftone].
[Dynamic]: the result is better on low contrast documents.
[Fixed]: the function is disabled.
[Despeckle]
This setting is only available with the color modes [Binary] and [Enhanced Halftone].
When scanning in binary or enhanced halftone, speckles (small dots which are actually extra
pixels visible to the scanner) may appear on the image. Speckles can be caused by dust,
scratches or imperfections in the print of the source document.
Selecting [Despeckle] removes these imperfections from the scanned image.
[4x4 Positive]: Activates the function.
[Off]: Disables the function.
[Transport]
[Scan Mode]
The scan mode determines how the scan sequence is started and how a scan is executed.

FAQ
Introduction
The target audience for this FAQ document is the scan operator of the scanner. The operator
should have experience measuring the difference between the printed and original document.
The document will provide a guideline to:
• Why there may be a difference between the original and a copy
• How to measure the difference
• How to setup micro scaling in ScanWizard
This window contains the micro scaling slider for the X and Y directions. The X direction is the
direction in which the print head moves. The Y direction is the direction in which the paper is
driven. This slider allows a range between 95,00 and 105,00 % and goes in 0.02% steps. A double
click on the slider will open a keyboard for editing the value (firmware 6.70 an higher). Print the
same document again with the adjusted micro scaling and compare the documents as described
in section 9 above. Continue this process until you have achieved an optimal result.
