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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Note on originals

Operation Chapter 5

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.

the binding section is lowered to the

extent that the Auto Focus function is
