Positioning documents for capture
Scholar HD is capable of capturing documents up to A3, (11 x 17) in size at close-
up. Documents must be placed onto its base plate in landscape orientation before
capturing. The following section describes how best to align your documents.
There are three methods that can be used to accurately position your documents,
two tactile and one visual. For all three, you should firstly ensure that the Scholar
HD’s camera head is 1. facing straight down at its base and 2. that it is square on
to you, as shown in the following picture:

Tactile
Alignment - Magnetic Guide
The Scholar HD includes a guide that magnetises into either the A4 (Letter) or A3
(11 x 17) positions depending on its orientation. It slots over two grooves in the
base and provides a “top left corner” position for you to slide your documents
into before photographing.
The default location of the guide is in the transport position. The guide must
always be returned to this position before transporting, where it is in rear groove
and in-line with Scholar HD’s baseplate.
