COPYING FROM SMARTLF
SmartLF software uses any standard Windows printer driver for copying.
The number of copies can be controlled from the COPY button by clicking on
the + and – icons.
The print quality of the copy is controlled from the Windows driver Properties
dialogue in the normal way.
SmartLF will copy all images at 1:1 i.e. no scaling will take place unless set
up in the Properties dialogue of the windows printer driver.
DOCUMENT SIZE MARKINGS ON THE SCANNERS
To scan a non-standard size of document select a
document size that is larger than the document you
need to scan. The SmartLF software will allow
‘cropping’ (removal of unwanted square edges
from) of the image before saving it to computer. If
the document is rectangular the
auto-sizing
option
will detect the width of the document and determine
the length of the document automatically.
NOTE: Auto-sizing may not be 100% effective for all types of document.
TRANSPARENT AND OPAQUE ORIGINALS
SmartLF will set-size scan and auto-size scan, clear and opaque media. Clear acetate drawings will often produce
betters results when used with a white backing sheet. A scanning wallet with an integral white backing sheet can be
effective. Auto-size detection may not work every time and may depend on the calibration quality of the scanner.
DOUBLE-SIDED ORIGINALS
Originals that have information on both sides can sometimes benefit from being scanned with a black backing sheet
placed behind the image to be captured. Wallets with a black backing surface and clear acetate front can be useful.
THICKNESS OF MEDIA COMPATIBLE WITH SMARTLF GX/GXT
SmartLF Gx/GxT is compatible with many types of media including synthetic, polyesters, Mylar and general office
tracing and inkjet papers. The accuracy of SmartLF Gx/GxT is valid for media up to 0.8mm thick and may vary
depending on the operating environment. With SmartLF GxT the document thickness limit raises to 20mm.
STIFFNESS OF MEDIA COMPATIBLE WITH SMARTLF GX/GXT
SmartLF Gx/GxT will handle all regular media of 60g/m
2
and above. Paper below this weight can have very low
stiffness (for example some newspapers) and these may become creased in the scanner unless protected inside a
suitable scan wallet. Wallets can be readily obtained from stationery suppliers or improvised by folding some clear
acetate and placing the document into the fold. Best results are obtained by loading the wallet fold-first into the
scanner.
21. SCANNER MAINTENANCE
SmartLF Gx/GxT will need some occasional glass cleaning and white calibration (normalisation) maintenance. For
best results follow the instructions below.
GLASS CONTAMINATION, SCRATCHING AND REPLACEMENT
The single SmartLF Gx/GxT scanner CIS glass cover is chemically treated and should resist scratching from paper
clips, abrasive dust and staples but Colortrac recommend that the operator take all reasonable steps to ensure that
scan documents are clean and free from metallic appendages and abrasive dust or other contaminants. The scan
glass should be cleaned with a low-smear, high quality glass cleaning product and a clean lint-free cloth.
