Introduction:
OMNISCAN 5000 - The Scanner for Large Documents
Fast high-performance scanning of books and large documents
256 grey scales and automatic image correction of the book curve
Until today, scanning or copying of large books or documents has been cumbersome,
time-consuming and inaccurate. With state-of-the-art scan technology ZEUTSCHEL
now provides a high performance large format scanning system OMNISCAN 5000 that
will efficiently handle books and large documents with high resolution accuracy and
reliability. It will reduce imaging time and labor cost. Simply place a book or a
newspaper volume "face up" on the scanner's book cradle or table and you will digitize
an image with all details in seconds. The built-in scan-area projection makes positioning
very easy. The scan head captures the original "from the top". The connection to your
document management systems is granted via an interface SCSI-2, TWAIN or ISIS. A
laser-printer can be connected directly to the scanner for fast printing.
Now it is convenient and easy to digitize books: well-designed ZEUTSCHEL book
cradles guarantee that the book bindings are not damaged. Also, there is no shadow
area at the book gutter and with the electronic image correction of the book curve the
script will appear without distortion. The result is high productivity and preservation of
books.
The quality of digital images depends on the quality of the optical lens, the built-in
scanning technology and the pre-cision of the mechanical/electronic components. The
OMNISCAN 5000 scanner head was designed with a high-resolution lens, a precision
mechanism to drive the high-performance CCD scan line, a 256 grey-scales feature and
an optional electronic image correction of the book curve to guarantee superior
scanning results. This means sharp and crisp images even from poor originals with low
contrast, very fine lines or variable background density. Each captured image can then
be processed with a powerful image enhancement software (optional: contrast
enhancement, rotation, de-scew, de-speckle, cut/mask, crop, etc.) Thus, poor originals
can be improved to good digital images and hard copies, and the storage space will be
reduced considerably at the same time.

Safety instructions:
The scanner must only be operated with a single-phasing power supply of
230 V/50 Hz with separate protective conductor. Before operation the power
supply must be checked by an authorised service engineer.
If the local power supply does not meet the above mentioned requirements,
please contact the manufacturer who will check if the scanner system can be operated
under the existing power supply conditions.
The power socket should be installed near the camera system and should be always
accessible.
It is not allowed to open the scanner system, as the system is still live even if the mains
switch is turned off.
After the scanner is switched on, the following functions will be automatically executed:
Automatic initialisation of the scanner head
Top light is automatically switched on.
The following works must be executed by service engineers only:
1. Exchange of lamps/bulbs
2. Exchange of camera tables, especially with book cradles
3. Interferences in control system, power supply
It is necessary to study carefully the operator's manual before operating the scanner
system.

Installation:
OS 5000 base unit- and stand unit version
Unpacking
- carefully unpack the the box consisting of:
- scanner base unit including power supply unit
- top light lamp set, each one for left and right side with power cable 220V
- scanner head with built-in SCSI-interface pcb
- cable, scan head - power supply unit
- SCSI - cable, scan head - server pc (optional)
- SCSI-interface pcb (ADAPTEC, optional)
- OMNISCAN 8.0 scanner software with DONGLE (optional)
- OMNISCAN COPYSCAN software with DONGLE (optional)
Installation of the OS 5000
Install the OS 5000 base unit only on a sturdy, non vibrating table resp. one of the
ZEUTSCHEL document tables (OT 180, etc.) for best quality results. The OS 5000 SU
is a stand alone version and has to be installed directly on an even non-vibrating floor.
The document tables can be easily rolled-in and -out.
Fix the top light lamp set for the left and right side.
Finaly install the scanner head at the scanner head rest of the column.
Attention! Please take of first the transport security set inside the scan head.
Please check with the help of a precision water level that the scan head is absolutely
parallel installed to the book cradle and that also the scanner column is absolutely
vertical installed.
Now you can connect the power cable from the scan head to the power supply unit
which is fixed at the rear side of the column. Plug in the power cable of each lamp set
and finally install the SCSI- cable "scan head - server pc".
Before you switch on the power please re-check the correct installation.
Lamp adjustment
The lamp sets have to be installed in an angle position to achieve an even illumination
on top of the book cradle. For the pre-adjustment you can use a luxmeter, however final
adjustments have to be done by testing. Please take care that there is no lamp
reflection in the document scan-area. It is recommended to adjust the lamp arms for the
maximung scan area DIN A1 (D-size). Smaller documents can be scanned with the
same lamp position, however for thick books you can achieve better results espescially
of the book gatter by turning the lamps to a more vertical position.

the scan exposure also can be released via the optional foot pedal.
Document positioning and scaling
- the documents can be easily positioned "face-up" on the document table.
- Bound documents and books are recommended to be scanned with the ZEUTSCHEL
book cradle OT 180/OT 180S/OT 180H or OT 90. Sheets and thin documents can be
scanned also with ZEUTSCHEL top light table AT 1 on top of the plate.
For detailed instructions we refer to the operation manual of each document table.
- the scan area can be increased by moving the scan head up. At the same time the
scan resolution will be reduced. To move the scan head up please press the push
button (6) at the camera base unit.
- the scan area can be reduced by moving the scan head down. At the same time the
scan resolution will be increased. To move the scan head down please press the push
button (7) at the camera base unit.
- for focusing the lens scale always have to be adjusted to the same value as the scan
head height value, which is indicated at the scanner base column
The OS 5000 can be used in 2 different operation methods.
1. scanning all kind of documents with 400, 300 resp.200 dpi resolution.
max. scan area 400 dpi: DIN A3 (B-size)
max. scan area 300 dpi: DIN A2 (C-size)
max. scan area 200 dpi: DIN A1 (D-size)
Move the scan head in the height to position A3, A2 resp. A1 by pressing the push
