The normal position (Step 0: 2mm/0.08”) is detected by a sensor in the
scanner. Auto-adjustment of the scanner’s light profile, stitching etc.
only takes place in this position. With extended media thickness
positions, the last performed auto-adjustment is stored and utilized.
This means that you should from time to time return to the normal
position, and especially when turning the scanner on, to allow it to
auto-adjust.
The normal position also gives the highest scanning speed. In the
extended media thickness positions, scanning speed is automatically
reduced. Heavy cardboard, foamboard etc. require lower scanning
speeds to omit start/stops caused by the media’s low flexibility.
Thick stiff originals will rest on top of the scanner rollers and thus raise
a small distance over the glass plate, which can lead to changes in the
stitching of images at points between the cameras (overlapping or
missing pixels). The stitching parameters can be modified in the
WIDEimage Scanner Setup dialog. The modified stitching setup is only
active in the extended media thickness positions and not in the normal
position, in which the standard stitching setting is used.
To modify the stitching insert a thick original in the scanner, scan with
WIDEimage and check the result in the viewer for overlapping or
missing pixels in the camera transition areas. Then adjust the value in
