5.2  Scanning Thick Media 

Scanning needs are not always limited to convenient paper thin media. 
Many industries, such as reprographics and GIS, will find the need to 
digitize or copy images printed or pasted on thicker media such as 
cardboard, foamboards, gatorboards etc. To support such needs the 
MAGNUM color scanner allows you to easily change the insertion slot 
space on your scanner from 0 to 15 mm (0 to .6”) in steps to fit to the 
thickness of the original, thus adding an extra dimension to scanning 
possibilities.  
 
To change the insertion slot space, open the Original Insertion Slot 
cover and slide the media thickness adjustments found at each side to 
the same setting. 
  
The media thickness can be set in the following steps (corresponding 
to the indications on the right and left adjustment sliders): 
 

Step Maximum 

Thickness 

 

0 (Normal Position) 

2mm (0.08”) 

1 4mm 

(0.16”) 

2 6mm 

(0.24”) 

3 8mm 

(0.32”) 

4 10mm 

(039”) 

5 12mm 

(0.47”) 

6 14mm 

(0.55”) 

7 15mm 

(0.60”)
