10 for A2

Operation

NOTE
When the inclination of the page at the
center of the book exceeds 60° and that
of the outer edge exceeds 30° (A3 or

be read correctly.

Scanning procedures
NOTE
Never place your arm, head or any other obstacle into the space enclosed by the scanner
unit and the right and left edges of the book, or the Scanner will not be able to obtain a
good image. Be sure not to move your hands and arms until scanning is completed.

Operation

Chapter 5

NOTE
When the Scanner fails to read the original correctly, a buzzer goes off, a warning message
appears on the display, and scanning is stopped. Refer to page 6-2 “Troubleshooting for
warning messages” for the appropriate action.

Book/Sheet modes
Book mode
Select this mode when scanning a thick original (books). Selecting this mode automatically
activates the following functions:

Functions automatically activated
Curved text line correction
This function corrects the position of the text on the curved surface near the center of the
book (area between pages) of a thick open book, ensuring that an undistorted image is
made.
Text compression correction
The text at the center of the book (area between pages) of an open book often looks
crowded with little space between characters, when viewed from above, due to the curved
surface. If simply scanned as is, the text appears compressed. This function expands the
characters accordingly, providing an image as close as possible to the original form.

Operation

Auto focus
This function is available only to Book mode. The original height is detected, and the focal
point of the Scanner can be adjusted to be within a range from 0 to 65 mm above the book
table according to the detected original height.

Chapter 5

NOTE
When the text is within 5 mm from the spine of the book or the inclination at the center
exceeds 60°, proper correction may not be made.

5-11
Book/Sheet modes

Sheet mode
Select this mode if an error message
appears or a clear image cannot be obtained
in Book mode, or when scanning thin
materials (newspapers, photographs,
documents, etc.) or a solid surface other
than a book.

Operation

Chapter 5

NOTE
Text is selected for the Image mode by default. It is recommended that this be changed to
Photo when scanning photographs.
When Sheet mode is selected, the focal
point can be set to be within a range from 0
to 50 mm above the book table in 6 steps in
10 mm increments. When scanning a solid
surface, adjust the original (solid surface)
height in Sheet mode.

0 to 50 mm

Cancel of the Auto function
In the Sheet mode, the scan time can be shortened by disabling the preliminary scanning for
auto detection. Set each function as follows to cancel the Auto function.
• Expo (Manual)
• Zoom (Fixed magnification)
• Cent Eras (OFF)
• Masking (OFF)
• Fing Mask (OFF)
• Centerin (OFF)
• Org. type (Normal or Glossy)

1. High-gloss originals
High quality images cannot be assured when scanning high-gloss pages such as gravures
of magazines and catalogs in Auto Exposure mode. In this case, select Manual Exposure
mode and hold the original as flat as possible. Refer to page 5-36 “Adjusting exposure for
scanning” for auto/manual exposure adjustment.
In addition, the original type may be set to [Glossy] for scanning (Refer to page 5-43
“Selecting Original Type”).

2. Originals having high background density
The background density is the color of the actual paper on which text and photographs are
printed. Papers of high background density include colored (other than white) paper,
newspaper, train timetables, or diazo scanning materials (A2 or larger drawings used at
construction sites and other engineering environments). When any of these types is used,
select Manual Exposure mode and hold the original as flat as possible.

Operation

The Scanner is designed for exclusive use in scanning images from a book or file. Note,
however, that it may not make reliable images from any of the following types of originals.
(If a warning message appears, refer to page 6-2 “Troubleshooting for warning messages”.)
If any originals other than the following cannot be scanned, contact our service agent or
dealer in your area.

3. Originals with a tag attached or bookmark placed
The Scanner may not work correctly
when a tag is attached or a bookmark is
placed within 1-1/8” (30 mm) of the top
and bottom edges as shown in the figure.
In this case, remove the tag or bookmark
before scanning. If tags are attached only
to the top edge of the original, place the
original upside down on the book table
for scanning.

If bookmarks are placed in the original,
put them away in the original so that
they may not hit the steel mirror.

4. Originals with both text and photographs
The Scanner provides you with two Image modes, Text and Photo. When an original has
both text and photographs, determine which should be given higher priority. When Text
mode is selected, clearer characters can be obtained.

5. Originals larger than the book table
The start key cannot be pressed when the original is larger than the book table. Use the
optional foot switch, or if the original is bound in a file, take out the required page and
place it on the book table.

6. Originals with foldings, wrinkles or warps
If the original is folded, wrinkled or warped, stretch the original as much as possible, and
then place it on the book table for scanning.

7. Originals with special binding
When the binding section of the book
has a special design and the surface of
the original is more than 65 mm above

press the center of the book table so that
the binding section is lowered to the
extent that the Auto Focus function is
effective.
