2. Set a standard size - common standard sizes are marked on the scanner bed. Use these markings to determine which standard size matches the original and then select that size in the application's input size dialog.
3. Set the size manually for irregular sizes. Measure your document with the inch/cm ruler on the scanner bed. Enter your width measurement in the width setting field in your application's input size setup dialog. You can also measure and set a length value or choose automatic length detection.

Scanning

Software applications for scanning

Your scanner is controlled through scan, copy or imaging software installed on your PC.

Optimal full featured scanning functionality is obtainable through scan and copy software specifically developed for compatibility with your scanner model. See the scanner manufacturer's website for information on scanner software and compatible third-party applications.

Running applications from the scanner panel

Normally you would control the scanner from your PC through your scan software user interface. However, your scanner also supports one-touch buttons that enable you to trigger scanner compatible software from the scanner panel. Configuration of your one-touch buttons is controlled through WIDEsystem. Please refer to the on-line help in WIDEsystem and your compatible scanner software for instructions.

Batch scanning

Batch scanning involves jobs where you want to feed and scan a whole set of originals that require equal scan settings. The basic steps are:

1. Set your scan settings (size, type, image adjustments..) for the batch. Your settings will apply to ALL the documents in the batch.
2. Set the scan software into Batch Mode. This will tell the scanner to start scanning as soon as the document is fed so you don't need to trigger the scan.
3. Choose Automatic loading (optional) - for fast and effective loading. Read you scan software's on-line help pages for specific information on batch scanning with the application.

NOTE: The availability of Batch scanning options will depend on your /copy software and its level of compatibility with the scanner model.

Maintenance

About scanner maintenance

Scanner maintenance will ensure optimal performance of your scanner. There are three basic maintenance tasks.

1. Cleaning

Keep your scanner clean – the next section describes how to thoroughly clean the internal scan area. How often you need to clean will depend on how often and the types of media you scan. If your work primarily involves scanning newspapers and old blueprints you may need to clean more often than users who only scan brochures and new drawings. Be sure to clean the scanner when results are not optimal. Particles of dust in the scan area can sometimes be the sole cause of streaks in the end result.

See more under the section Cleaning the scan area

1. Calibration

Calibrate the scanner if your output is not optimal and cleaning (above) does not remedy the problem. Calibration will renew the scanner's original color and BW precision. Scanner Calibration is easy to perform. To run, you insert a Calibration Sheet, and start the Scanner Maintenance program. The rest is done by the program. Make sure the scanner is clean before calibrating.

See more under the section Calibration – Scanner Maintenance program.

1. Replacing the glass plate

This should be carried out when a worn glass plate affects your results. You may need a new glass plate if streaks still appear on the image even after cleaning the glass. See more under the section Replacing the glass plate.

Cleaning the scan area

How often you should clean your scanner will largely depend on how much you use the scanner and the condition of your documents. Generally, be sure to clean at least once a month and always right before important jobs that require a high degree of precision.
