Chapter 2 Preparation
Direct Mount
Originals are mounted in the scanner by placing them directly on the
Base glass. You can mount one original for single preview or several
originals for multi-preview.
For single preview:
•
Tape the original to the Base glass, placing the top right corner
of the original near the 0,0 corner of the glass (lower right corner).
Place transparencies with emulsion side down, and reflectives with
image side down.
•
It is recommended that if your original is a
non-standard
format,
you should note the size of the original by checking the vertical
and horizontal scales of the glass. This is important when using the
Layout display
window.
For multi-preview:
In
multi
-
preview
, all originals are taped to the
Base
glass
and scanned
in a single run. The originals must be of the same type (transparency or
reflective), but may be of different sizes and media (positive and
negative).
•
Tape the first original near the 0,0 corner of the glass, same as for
single preview
(see above).
•
Tape the other originals proceeding toward the lower left corner of
the Base glass, making sure the originals do not overlap. If
necessary, continue to the next row. It is recommended to place the
originals in an orderly way, and not spread them randomly all over
the board.
For more information, refer to
Performing Basic Scan on page 53.
When scanning a thick reflective such as a book, it is possible to scan with
the
Top door
open.
For high enlargements, we recommend you to use oil when mounting
originals. For more information, refer to
Oil Mounting on page 167
