About This Guide 1-1

1. About This Guide

This guide explains how to maintain and operate your wide format copy (iJET) scanner and its iJET Panel. The guide assumes basic knowledge of other optional configuration components such as printer, computer and operating system and does not repeat material from their documentation.

Be sure to refer to:

 The Installation Guide – accessed from the menu on the WIDEsystem TOOLS CD-ROM –

describes installation of your driver if interfacing your scanner with a PC.

 The readme.htm file in the ws folder on the WIDEsystem TOOLS CD-ROM – contains the most

current installation and OS compatibility issues.

 WIDEsystem TOOLS Help – Press F1 after installing and opening WIDEsystem. – Contains

information on using the WIDEsystem application, Scan2Net functionality and Scanner Maintenance software if interfacing your scanner with a PC.

1.1 Scope

This guide covers installation, operation and maintenance of your scanner. The guide covers only copying and scanning operation through the iJET Panel. The scanner can also be operated and controlled though compatible scan and copy software installed on a PC that is either directly connected with the scanner or on the same network. While this guide will provide instructions on setting up the scanner with a PC, it will not describe in detail how to operate the scanner from that PC. Operation of scan and copy software is not within the scope of this guide. Please refer to the software’s documentation and on-line help for instructions on using the specific software application with the scanner.

1.2 Identify your scanner model

This User’s Guide covers 2 scanner models, although there are individual differences between the models.

The 2 model labels: FLEX50i, HD4230i will head topics and functionality descriptions.

Topics/descriptions can be specific for only one of the models. These will be headed by one of the labels. Other topics/descriptions are general for both models. These will be headed by both labels.

Identify your scanner model and then look for its label in this guide. Models not listed in the table below are not within the scope of this guide.

1.4 Web Access Interface or iJET Panel?

The scanner also supports an embedded web server and a file storage area. The embedded web server provides a Web Access Interface that enables users to communicate and control the scanner from a PC on the LAN through the PC’s web browser, thus bypassing special software and OS compatibility issues. To access the scanner, users just start their browser and enter the scanner’s IP address.

A number of the iJET panel’s scanner setup and configuration options can be applied from the Web Access Interface and some users may prefer this to using the iJET panel menus and buttons. The Web Access Interface also allows simple scans to the scanners internal storage with the option to retrieve the file

This manual will focus on setup, configuration, copy and scan through the iJET panel. If you wish instead to use a PC and the Web Access Interface for some of these options, please refer to this manual’s section on the “Web Access Interface” for more details.

NOTE: The scanner manufacturer will continuously add new features to the Web Access Interface through firmware upgrades and therefore, the best way to view currently available options is by opening the Web Access Interface currently loaded in the scanner.

3. Scanner Configuration and Setup Instructions

Your Copy scanner supports iJET technology for copy and scan-to-file functionality. The iJET panel enables you to set options on the scanner so you can copy straight from the device without a controllerPC and software. Furthermore, your scanner can be connected directly to the LAN enabling it to function with other devices such as printers and PCs that are on the same network. Finally, your scanner supports both USB device (input) and USB host (output) interfaces for direct connection to a printer and to a PC that can control the scanner through scan/copy software. This wide range of connection and operation capabilities means that your scanner can be set up in many different ways or “configurations” to match the needs of your business. For clarity, we have termed the main configuration possibilities and their components as follows:

Configuration Type Components - Description

1 Stand Alone Copier Configuration

Scanner connected directly (no PC) to one or two printers.

2 Network Scan/Copy Device

Scanner connected directly (no PC) to the network. The scanner is set up to be recognized on the network by network PCs and also setup to recognize/use network PCs as scan targets. The scanner is setup to use network printers.

3 Scan/Copy Station on Local PC

Scanner connected to a PC through USB interface. Scan/copy software is installed on the PC.

Combinations of the above for Multiple Functionality

The scanner is connected to a local PC and a local printer. The scanner is also connected directly to the network in order to be shared by network PCs and to use network PCs as scan targets. The scanner can also use network printers.

This User’s Guide section describes each of these configurations, including its components, requirements and step-by-step installation instructions.

NOTE: The combinations of the first three configurations (present in above list as configuration

nr. 4) are not only possible, but in many cases also recommended in order to get the full range of scan-to-

file and copy functions out of your device and maximum flexibility for your business .

More on combining configurations in the section “Combining Configuration Types for Multiple

Functionality.”

NOTE: About interface connection cables: Your scanner came with a number of interface cables. Refer to the supplied document: “NOTE ON INTEFACE CABLES” for instructions on which cables to use with your specific configuration.

All the configurations described in the following sections can be set up with both models:

3.4 Combining Configuration Types for Multiple Functionality

Although they were described separately, the three configurations: Stand alone copier, Scan/ Copy device on a network, Scan/ Copy station on local PC can be combined to provide multiple functionality. For most companies, a combined solution would be recommended to get the most out of the scanner and provide a flexible, multi-purpose device.

Scanner’s USB

device (input)

interface

Scanner’s USB

host (output)

interface

Scanner’s LAN interface

In the example illustrated above, we have connected both a printer and a PC directly to the scanner and both the scanner and the PC are each attached directly to the network. This means that the configuration can be used as a stand alone copier, a stand alone scan-to-file station, a device for saving scans to network PCs and a shared device that can be controlled and used by network PCs. The scanner can use both the local printer and printers on the network. Both scan-to-file and copying can be performed either through the iJET Panel or through scan/copy software. Use the instructions for each configuration in the previous sections for setting up a combined solution. You will find that many of the steps are general and apply for all configurations so you only need to perform them once.

NOTE: Your Copy Scanner supports a single LAN connection port. This means that if you connect a printer directly through this port, you will not be able to set up a combined solution with network accessibility. You can use LAN switch boxes to work around this problem. It is advisable to use the USB host (output) port for direct printer connection if USB connectivity is supported on the printer.

Regulatory Notice: Your scanner product has been tested to comply with the EMC Standards EN55022 and FCC, Part 15. To maintain compliance, only use the interface cables supplied with the scanner.

Configuration and Setup 3-13

3.5 Physical Placement of the Scanner

Please follow the guidelines below for optimal safety, scanner functionality, and scanning results.

Physical placement of the scanner:

With Scanner: FLEX50i

Your wide format flatbed scanner should be placed on a stabile, level and completely flat (plane) surface such as a sturdy table. If convenient, you can place the backend of the scanner against a wall. The lid will not open all the way back and stops at an approximate 650 angle.

It is very important to follow the instructions below to ensure the scanner is setup with optimal stability and without tension on the scanner’s frame. Failure to do so can produce poor scanning results and cause damage to the scanner device over time.

The scanner rests on feet placed at the bottom of the scanner. There are 3 fixed feet and 2 adjustable feet (total of 5 feet). See the instructions below for feet adjustment.

Adjustment of the scanner’s feet for sturdy placement

1. The two outer feet closest to the operator’s panel side are adjustable. The middle foot on the same side and the two feet on the other side are fixed. See the illustration below.

2. The 2 adjustable feet should be positioned (tightened) all the way up when setting up the scanner on its new surface. They are delivered in that position from the manufacturer.

3. The 2 adjustable feet (in their original position as described in step 2) are slightly shorter than the 3 fixed feet. Therefore the scanner will at first rest only on the 3 fixed feet (1 on the operator panel side and 2 on the opposite side).

4. Use a screwdriver or an alternative long slim object to access and rotate the 2 adjustable feet until they touch the surface so all 5 feet are in contact with it.

5. If the scanner is moved, the 2 adjustable feet must be retightened to their original (shortest) position and the steps above must be repeated.

2 adjustable feet Original position must be all the way up (shortest feet)

3 fixed feet

Page 26

Configuration and Setup 3-14

Physical placement of the scanner:

With Scanner: HD4230i

Your wide format scanner should be placed either on the specially designed stand-alone floor stand or on a sturdy table. Make sure there is enough space behind the scanner to allow the media to run out. Thick stiff media naturally requires space that is at least as large as the media length.

Physical placement of the scanner:

Guidelines that apply for both scanners: FLEX50i, HD4230i

Slots and openings in the cabinet at the back and bottom are provided for ventilation. This ensures reliable operation of the product and protects it from overheating. These openings must never be blocked or covered by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface.

Your scanner should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

You should not place the scanner in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

The scanner is equipped with a three-wire (pin) grounding type plug. This plug will fit only into a

grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug into your outlet, contact your electrician to replace the outlet and ensure a grounded power connection. Do not try to defeat or ignore the purpose of the grounding-type plug.

Make sure the PC connected to the scanner is likewise power-connected to a grounding-type power outlet with a three-wire (pin) grounding type plug.

7.1 Auto Configure

Auto Configure tells the system to retrieve the printer’s parameters automatically from the printer

itself. The system searches for the printer on the port as indicated by your Interface setting (USB or LAN-IP address) and then when it finds it, the printer’s setup parameters are saved in the scanner device. Not all printer models support automatic setup and you will need to use the Printer List or the Custom Setup options instead. The printer must support SNMP in order for its settings to be detected automatically.

NOTE: the actual search and settings upload process takes place the first time you try to print and not during setup. It is therefore recommended to make a dispensable test copy just after completing the steps for setting up your scanner.

7.2 Printer List

If you select Printer List and confirm with enter, you will be able to select an actual printer model by its name. The model names that appear in the Printer List indicate printers that have been fully tested for compatibility with your copy scanner and their setup parameters are ready in the system.

3.9 Creating Media Profiles – For Color Printer Setup

You must create a Media Profile for each media type you use with the specific color printer. Otherwise, your color copy output colors will not necessarily match the original’s colors. Optimal quality color results are only obtained if the capture device (scanner) and output device (printer) "see" colors in the same way on a given output media. A Media Profile is a unit that stores data that matches scanner and printer colors on a given media.

Before you start a copy job, you select a Media Type (Menu button) that corresponds with the media in your printer and the Media Profile you prepared. By this action you are harmonizing scanner, printer and media color factors for achieving optimal color precision in your copies.

A Media Profile is connected solely to a specific printer and media type so you will need to create new media profiles if any of these (printer or print-media) are changed.

3.12 Usability Settings and User Preferences

The following options are designed for setting up the scanner optimally to comply with the main types of your scanning tasks, your business workday and your daily routines.

3.12.1 Setting the Timer for Automatic Sleep and Wake-up

On scanners: FLEX50i, HD4230i

The Timer is for programming your scanner’s internal clock that controls your scanner’s sleep and wakeup schedule.

Running with the right internal temperature is of utmost importance when doing high quality scanning and your scanner should be allowed a warm up time to reach it.

The Timer lets you program the scanner to automatically power on and warm up at times most convenient for you and your schedule. In this way, it can be set to turn on before you arrive and is thus ready when you need it. You do not have to waste valuable time waiting for your system to reach optimal conditions.

As an example, your business opens a bit later on Mondays then on other days, so the scanner can be programmed to start up at 07:30. By the time you reach work at 08:00, the scanner will be warmed up and ready to work at an optimal internal temperature. Still as an example - on Tuesday you need to process a heavy copy order and anticipate a long day. You therefore set the scanner to shut down much later than usual. On Wednesdays, You are always attending meetings and won’t need the scanner until after lunch. Thursday and Friday are normal workdays and the shop is closed during the weekend.

The example above gives the following settings to be entered in the Timer Menu:

Weekday

Wake-up Time

Sleep Time

Monday 07:30 17:00 Tuesday 07:00 23.59 Wednesda

12.00 17.00

Thursday 07:00 17:00 Friday 07:00 17:00 Saturday 00:00 00:00 Sunday 00:00 00:00

NOTE: When the Timer puts the scanner in Sleep mode, the scanner device goes into a lower power

level.

To set the Timer:

NOTE: Make sure the scanner power (main switch at the back) is on in “hard power on”. It must

remain in hard power On in order for the timer to work. Control also that the scanner's clock settings are correct before setting the timer.

About Thick Media Settings and Auto Adjustment

On scanners: HD4230i (not relevant on flatbed models)

Scanner’s Auto-adjustment – only in the Normal position.

The scanner employs an automatic self-adjustment procedure (light profile, stitching etc.) that can only auto-activate when the scanner is in the Normal position. With prolonged scanning in extended thickness settings, you should from time to time return the scanner to its Normal position to allow it to self-adjust. This will ensure refreshed self-adjustment and optimal performance of your scanner. Make a habit of always setting the scanner in the Normal position when shutting down, so it can auto-adjust the next time you turn it ON.

NOTE: The scanner runs at its optimal speed in the Normal position. To allow stable drive handling,

scanning speed is automatically reduced when the scanner is in the extended thickness positions.

Stitching Offsets – stitching correction when scanning thick media:

Page 51

Using the scanner, how do I … Load? 4-5

On scanners: HD4230i (not relevant on flatbed models)

About Camera Stitching During scanning, stiff media will often not be pressed completely flat against the scanner’s glass-plate and

this can affect the scanner's automatic control of border lines between the cameras – also called “Stitching”.

Normally, only stiff media will affect stitching. A flexible media will usually be stitched correctly regardless of its thickness and will not require you to make these adjustments. However, any stiff media, thick or thin will usually require setting these options to ensure correct stitching between each scanner camera.

To Adjust Camera Stitching:

1. Adjust the insertion slot to accommodate your thick or normal thin yet stiff media as described in

the section Adjusting the insertion slot for thick media with ATAC.:

2. Load the original you wish to scan.

3. Select either the "Use offsets for thick media" option or the "Use offsets for thin media" option.

Thick media is defined as media thicker than 2mm (0.08") and requires you to raise the scanner insertion area top for scanning. See below under To set the Stitching Offset value options through the iJET panel for instructions on reaching the options in the panel.

4. Make a test scanning. Bulky stiff media needs to be supported with both hands on

its way in and out of the scanner.

5. Stitching errors will be easiest to see on an image with one or more clear diagonal

lines. If the lines seem uneven, you will need to make adjustments.

6. Change the Offset value in the edit fields for each of the scanner's pair of cameras Camera A-B,

Camera B-C and Camera C-D). Normally, only positive values should be used. See below under To set the Stitching Offset value options through the iJET panel for instructions on reaching the options in the panel.

7. Make test scans or previews and readjust the values until you

are satisfied that the lines are stitched correctly.

5. How do I Make a Copy?

5.1 Copy Using the iJET Panel – The Basic Steps

Once the scanner is set up and configured to the needs and standards of your business, it becomes as simple to use as a conventional office copy machine. By “setup and configured” we mean that iJET Panel menu options such as original types and paper types are determined and set.

On scanners: FLEX50i, HD4230i To make a copy:

1. Load the original into the scanner.

See the section “How do I load originals?” for information regarding your specific scanner

model.

2. Set the Size of your original The value your set here determines the scan area. Usually this would be the size of the original unless you wish only to input a portion. Press the Size button to activate size setting.

You then change the value each time you again press the Size button or with

the arrow up/down buttons .

NOTE: About the Size value: Size is a global system variable that can be changed in 3 different ways: 1. With the Size button 2. With the Menu button > Size option and 3. With the Scan-to button > Size option. This means that when you change the size for a copy job, it will also apply for a scan-tofile job and vise versa until you change it again.

3. You can select Auto detection or a standard size setting. Auto will detect the edges of the original and set the scan area to the full original size. Press

Enter

to confirm your setting.

4. Apply Copy Output Settings The iJET Panel offers quick buttons for common copy output settings. Apply one or more of these if needed. Otherwise, go to the last step where you start copying with the current settings.

Detailed Instructions on using each of these buttons plus other copy options accessed through

the Menu button follow in this “how do I…Make a Copy?” section.

5. Press the appropriate copy button.

 Press the B&W Copy button for B&W copy jobs.

 Press the Color Copy button for color jobs.

5.2.2 How do I… Set a Scale factor? – Output size

In the beginning of this section (How to… make a copy) we described how to set the input size with the Size button. You can enlarge or reduce this size in your output copy through the Scale option. The Scale

value is defined as a percent (factor) of the original. A scaling factor of 100% means that the copy inherits the original’s size, under 100% means it is reduced and over 100% means it is enlarged. The scaling factor can be selected from a list of predefined factors and if needed, these can be fine tuned to create your own factors.

To set a Scale factor:

On the iJET Panel –

1. Quick - Press the Scale button. The iJET Panel display will open the Scale option with the “>” marker on the value level indicating you can immediately change the Scale option’s value. From here you can skip steps 2 and 3 and go to step 4 to change the value.

5.3 Other Copy Options – Menu Button

As described in the previous sections, the copy quick buttons Lightness, Scale, Quality and Copies are shortcuts into the options accessible through the Menu button . In this section we will describe

other options in the same Menu. These options are not accessible through quick buttons and can only be reached through the Menu button. The option features described here are more general than those behind the four quick buttons and they will therefore not be needed as often.

The Menu button options described in the following subsections are:

 Original Type Color and Original Type B&W  Sharpen  Background Cleanup  Media Type  Mirror  Reset  Advanced…

5.3.1 How do I… Set Original Type Color?

The original type setting – Org. Type-Color is your central input parameter for color copying and relates to controlling image capture with color originals. The Org. Type-Color setting tells the system to use specific internal image enhancement processes that are optimal for the color original in question. For example, selecting the “CAD/Map” option will tell the scanner to optimize for high detail. The option you choose will be applied by the system when you press the Color Copy button.

The available options for Org. Type-Color are described below. Note that for each original type there is an “Ink” version that contains special parameters for originals that were created on inkjet printers.

Org. Type Color

Type-Color value will be applied every time you press the Color Copy button until you repeat the steps above to change it.

5.3.2 How do I… Set Original Type B&W?

The original type setting – Org. Type-BW is your central input parameter for B&W or graytone copying and relates to controlling image capture. The Org. Type-B&W setting tells the system to use specific internal image enhancement processes that are optimal for the original in question. For example, selecting the “Blueprint” option will tell the scanner to optimize for cleaning up background noise and enhancing image quality. The option you choose will be applied by the system when you press the B&W Copy button.

The available options for Org. Type-B&W are described below.

Org. Type -BW

Photo Photo is suitable for photographic images that contain many shades of gray.

5.3.4 How do I… apply the Background (Backg.) Clean filter?

Background clean is used if you have an original with a background that is not as completely white as you would like it. If you want the background to appear pure white in the copy, then you can increase the background clean value. Background clean should be used with caution, as it can also affect light colors that you will not consider as part of the background.

The Background clean setting is a "cutoff" point. Pixels with a lightness under the setting’s value are affected. The higher the Backg. Clean value, the larger the range of pixels that will be turned to white. You can define cutting points from 0 to 12. The default value is zero (no effect).

Example: You have copied an original and want to improve it through bringing out the text by making the

background whiter. You can adjust the background clean value upwards from its default of zero (to 12, for example) and thus make the pixels at high lightness levels go to white.

The option’s setting will be applied when you press either the Color Copy or B&W Copy button.

To apply the Backg. Clean filter

On the iJET Panel –

1. Press the button to enter the main Menu.

2. Use the arrow up/down buttons to move through the Menu options until the display shows Backg. Clean as shown below.

3. Press

Enter

to move the “>” marker down to indicate you want to change the Backg. Clean setting.

4. Press the arrow up or arrow down button to change the Backg. Clean value. The higher the value, the larger the umber of shades that will be converted to white in the copy.

5. Press the

Enter

button to accept the selected setting. The “>” marker will move up to the Menu level indicating that the value is set and you can step on through the menu options if needed. The new Backg. Clean setting will be applied every time you press the Color Copy or the B&W Copy button until you repeat the steps above to change it.

5.3.5 How do I… Set the Media Profile (MediaType)?

When making color copies, it is important to tell the system what kind of paper you have in the printer. Already during scanning, your system will optimize processing for optimal color matching in relation to the media type the image will be printed on. Processing for glossy paper is different than processing for coated paper. Your Media Profile setting is not used with B&W Copying.

We described how to create Media Profiles in the sections on Configuration and Setup - Media Profiles - Color Printer Setup. A Media Profile you created during setup will be applied when you set the corresponding Menu -> Media Profile.

NOTE: If your system does not already have a Media Profile for the media in your printer, then you

must create a new Media Profile. Instructions on creating new Media Profiles are described in the section on Media Profiles - Color Printer

Setup. For convenience, we have repeated these instructions below at end of this section - How do I… Set the Media Profile?

Your Media Profile setting is applied when you press the Color Copy button.

5.4 Using Copy Software with the scanner (local or network PC)

Your scanner can also be used with compatible copy software from a locally connected or network PC. If the scanner is connected to the LAN, network PCs will be able to “share” the scanner and control it with compatible copy software and use it with network printers. Naturally, compatible copy software can also be applied in a stand alone local PC/printer configuration.

The “Scan/Copy station on Local PC” configuration was described in the section on “Setup and Configuration”. Copying or scanning to file with this configuration can take place through software installed on the PC. The software would control the scanner and all settings and operation would take place from the PC.

If the scanner is connected and setup with network identification on the LAN, PCs on the LAN can recognize and use the scanner (share) if compatible scan or copy software is installed on the PC. The PCs must also have WIDEsystemNET installed.

Please refer to the scan/copy software documentation and on-line help for the most up-to-date instructions on using the specific software application with the scanner.

Be sure to view the on-line help for WIDEsystemNET for information on scanner sharing and scanning to a designated folder (to a network PC) on the LAN.

Please refer to this User’s Guide section on Scanner On Network Setup Settings for details on

enabling your scanner to be recognized on the LAN and shared by network PCs.

Page 69

Using the scanner, how do I … Scan to File? 6-1

6. How do I Scan to File?

Scan-to-file means that you save the image in a file format on a PC’s hard disk rather than outputting directly to a printer (copy). Scans cannot be saved in the scanner itself. In order to scan and save the image in a file, your system must recognize a PC. Therefore, the configuration must include a PC, either directly through USB or else through the network. The PC must have WIDEsystemNET installed. Your system can scan to file if:

1. Your scanner is connected to the network through the LAN interface and Scan2Net Designated Folder functionality has been configured in WIDEsystemNET on each PC so that a special scan input folder is defined on the PC and the PC will be recognized by the scanner.

2. Your scanner is connected to a local PC through USB and Scan2Net Designated Folder functionality has been configured in WIDEsystemNET on that PC so that a special scan input folder is defined on the PC and the PC will be recognized by the scanner.

3. Your scanner is connected to the network through the LAN interface. The scanner has been enabled for access from the PC’s on the LAN by setting the scanner’s Share option to YES (see section: Setup to Share the Scanner). The PC’s on the LAN are setup to recognize the shared scanner with WIDEsystemNET software and compatible scan/copy software.

NOTE: WIDEsystemNET software is on the WIDEsystem TOOLS CD that came with your scanner.

See the CD’s included documentation and your WIDEsystemNET software on-line help for instructions on installing and configuring a PC for Designated Folder functionality.

This section will focus on the first and second scan-to-file scenario in which you use the iJET Panel to select a scan target and scan to a designated folder.

You will use the iJET Panel’s Scan to button to make all your settings for a scan to file job and the Scan button to start it. You will use the Size button to enter the original’s size before pressing the Scan button (unless scanning the whole original with Auto size). Details follow in the next section.

Scan button – start

the scan job.

Size Button – set the original

’s size.

(Skip if set to Auto)

6.1 Scan to Local or Network PC with the iJET Panel

1. Load your original. See the section “How do I load originals?” for information regarding your specific scanner model.

2. On the iJET Panel –Select the Scan to button. The first of the recognized scan targets (PCs) will be displayed.

3. Repeated pressing on the Scan to button will step through the list of recognized scan targets (PCs). Stop when the right scan target is displayed. A target name that includes “(USB)” will be a PC connected directly to the scanner. “No Clients” will be displayed if no PCs with Designated Folder functionality were detected locally or on the network. See your WIDEsystemNET help for instructions on setting a PC for Designated Folder functionality with a scanner connected directly to the LAN.

4. Set the Size of your original The value your set here determines the scan area. Usually this would be the size of the original unless you wish only to input a portion. Press the Size button to activate size setting.

You then change the value each time you again press the Size button or with the arrow

up/down buttons . You can select Auto detection or a standard size setting. Auto will detect the edges of the original and always set the scan area to the full original size every time. You will probably use Auto for most jobs. You can always crop the image in an image editor on the PC after

scanning-to-file. Press

Enter

to confirm your setting.

NOTE: About the Size value: Size is a global system variable that can be changed in 3 different ways: 1. With the Size button 2. With the Menu button > Size option and 3. With the Scan to button > Size option. This means that when you change the size for a copy job, it will also apply for a scan-tofile job and vise versa until you change it again.

5. Make your scan-to-file settings. The latest (or “default” if none were made) scan to file settings are always attached to the scan target, so each available scan target will have stored its own settings. If you know your target’s settings to be correct for your current job, press the Scan button to send the scan. Otherwise, continue to the next step.

6. If you want to change the scan-to-file settings - Confirm the scan target with

Scan Mode What it Does / Usage Adjustments

B&W Threshold This mode uses thresholds to determine whether a pixel is

black or white. Use this mode for drawings and line art. You can set the threshold value (Level). Default value is 151.

Level

B&W Adaptive

Adaptive enhancement for line images. Suitable for scanning all kinds of drawings including difficult blueprints, brown transparencies (sepias), etc. You set Adaptive level. Provides minimum file sizes and is thereby, well suited for digitizing.

Level

B&W Copy Adaptive

Adaptive enhancement on foreground and background. This mode is suitable for copying (scan and print) of Sepia, Blueprint and other originals with heavily distorted foregrounds and backgrounds where the shades that create unwanted "noise" are close to the shades that make up the image's data and the two are hard to differentiate.

Level soften/sharpen

Graytone In this mode 256 gray levels are recognized for each pixel.

Graytone mode creates good reproductions of complicated B/W images like B/W photos.

Gamma Sharpen

24-bit Color

This is the 24 bit true color mode for capturing all of the image's colors with the closest reproduction. This mode produces large files since all colors, even shades with only slight differences, are captured and produced. You use this mode when you want accurate reproduction of complicated color images like color photos and posters. You can make tonal adjustments through a Gamma value.

Gamma Sharpen

to indicate you want to change it. If you selected B&W Threshold, B&W Adaptive or B&W Copy Adaptive, the parameter option will be Level. If you selected Graytone or Color, the parameter option will be Gamma. Use the guidelines in the table below to make your setting.

Scan Mode Adjustment – what it does

B&W Threshold Level in this scan mode is the threshold value. Values between 0-255.

The

default is 151. When scanning at a specific threshold value, all gray tones below the threshold will be represented as black pixels, and all gray tones above will be represented as white pixels.

B&W Adaptive

B&W Adaptive Level works like a threshold - the lower the value, the more of the background is picked up during scanning. Values between 0-255. Default is 0.

B&W Copy Adaptive

B&W Copy Adaptive Level works like a threshold - the lower the value, the more of the background is picked up during scanning. Adaptive enhancement features are automatically applied in this copy mode, with simultaneous processing on different image aspects. You only have to adjust the adaptive "Level" to determine the best degree of enhancement processing for your specific image. Values between 0-255. Default is 0.

Graytone Gamma – Values between 0.1 and 3.0. Default is 1.0. Pixels are

intensified according to a gamma c

urve they are mapped to. A low gamma

value smaller than 1.0 darkens the output while a high gamma value larger than 1.0 typically lightens the shadow areas and brings out detail.

24-bit Color

Gamma– Values between 0.1 and 3.0. Default is 1.0. Pixels are intensified according to a gamma curve they are mapped to. A low gamma value smaller than 1.0 darkens the output while a high gamma value larger than

6.2.4 Set the Scan-to-File Resolution

This is where you determine image quality. Note that high resolutions create large files. 300 dpi or more is adequate for printing. Certain maps and CAD drawings with high levels of detail require high resolutions. CAD processing of the image may also require that you select a high resolution. The Dpi (dot per inch) range selectable is from 50 to 9600. Dpi value settings below or equal to the scanners optical dpi will give

pure optical resolutions without interpolation. Interpolation involves resampling through adding pixels between original pixels to increase resolution

beyond the actual number of CCD cells (optical resolution). The new pixel’s colors and intensities are calculated on the basis of their surrounding pixels. See your scanner model specifications to view the scanner’s optical resolution.

To set the Scan-to-File Resolution:

8. Maintenance

8.1 Preliminary Maintenance – during scanner installation

On scanners: FLEX50i, HD4230i

After setting up your new scanner and verifying your installation, it is recommended to clean your scanner before working with it.

Packaging, shipping and transportation may have left dust particles on the scanner and in the scan area. Wipe the glass plate and scanner feeding bed with a dry cloth to ensure a dust-free scan area.

On HD4230i models, shipping and transportation could have affected the cameras and it is therefore highly recommended to run calibration and thus automatically test and align the cameras.

8.2 Regular Scanner Maintenance

On scanners: FLEX50i, HD4230i

Regular scanner maintenance is a sure way to minimize costly downtime. Follow the general recommendations:

1. Keep your scanner clean – the section below describes how to thoroughly clean the internal scan area after periods of use. How often you need to clean the scanner will depend on how often and the types of media you scan. If your work involves scanning newspapers and old blueprints you will likely need to clean more often than users who only scan brochures and new drawings.

2. Be sure to clean the scanner when results are not optimal. Particles of dust in the scan area can be the cause of streaks in the end result.

3. Scanner Calibration is very easy to perform and most of it is completely automatic. After manually cleaning the scan area, you just insert a Calibration Sheet, and start the Scanner Maintenance program. You should calibrate the scanner if your output and color precision is not optimal.

4. You must run the Scanner Maintenance program from a PC that recognizes the scanner and has WIDEsystemNET and Scanner Maintenance software installed. See the following section on Running the Scanner Maintenance Program for details.

Page 83

Maintenance 8-2

8.3 Cleaning the Scan Area

Follow the steps below for thoroughly cleaning the scanner and scan area. Be sure to clean the scan area when results are not optimal. These could be streaks in your scan image due to dust particles in the scan area. Cleaning instructions for each scanner type follow below:

Caution: Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene or fluids that contain these chemicals. Do not

spray liquids directly onto the scanner glass-plate or anywhere else in the scanner.

Caution: Before cleaning the scan area, be sure to turn the scanner power off and disconnect the

power plug.
