Scanning Thick Media 6-4
6.3 Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control
On Scanners :
Scanners supporting Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control (ATAC) have an ATAC key on
the operator’s panel. You use the key to raise and lower the pressure-platen. You can change
the insertion slot size (pressure-platen height) on your scanner from 2mm to 15 mm (up to 0.6”).
Originals up to 2mm thick should be scanned with the pressure all the way down (normal
position). Thicker originals will require you use the ATAC key to adjust for thick media.
The ATAC key is on the operator panel.
Adjusting the insertion slot for thick media with ATAC:
1. Press the ATAC key on your operator’s panel to set the scanner in ATAC mode.
2. The
Paper Ready Indicator blinks yellow indicating the scanner is in ATAC mode but
not yet ready, i.e., the pressure-platen is not yet positioned on the thick original.
3. Press and hold the Paper Forward key (arrow up) key to raise the pressure-platen until
there is room to insert the thick original.
4. Insert the thick original evenly for a straight scan path.
5. Press and hold the
Paper Reverse (arrow down) key to lower the pressure-platen until
the pressure-platen stops on its own.
6. The Paper Ready indicator will turn yellow (stop blinking) when the pressure-platen is
positioned correctly and is ready for thick media scanning.
7. The scanner will automatically leave the ATAC mode, which means that the Paper
Forward and Paper Reverse keys will return to their normal functionality for moving the
original forwards and backwards.
Press the ATAC key on your operator’s
panel to set the scanner in ATAC mode. Pressure Platen in UP position - Press and hold the Paper
