HOW TO USE THE LARGE FORMAT SCANNER
!!!!! ATTENTION: BEFORE YOU START SCANNING !!!!!
- The scanner can feed document up to 1.5mm (0.6in) thick.
- All loose media (charcoal, pastels, graphite, etc.) must be placed in the sleeve provided prior to scanning! This will protect your original document during scanning and to increase quality, and failure to do so will make the scanner dirty, which degrades the quality of the scan and could result in damage to the scanner.
- NOTE: If the sleeve is dirty and reducing your scan quality, please alert the desk staff.
STEP 1: Power on Scanner
Turn on the scanner by pressing the “Power” switch in the back.
STEP 2: Cover your document
Prepare your document by placing it in the folded plastic covers provided next to the scanner. TIP: All loose media should be sprayed with fixative prior to scanning (i.e. charcoal, pastels, graphite, etc), which can be done in the woodshop.
STEP 3: Feed document into scanner
Feed prepared document faced down into the scanner by aligning the center of the paper to the center or the scanner. Adjust the paper alignments to fit around the cover sheet. Try to align the cover sheet so that it will feed straight through the scanner to prevent jamming the feeder. Press “Forward” if the scanner does not automatically move the paper into the scanner.
STEP 4: Open SCANNING MASTER 21+
Log onto the computer to the left of the scanner and open up Scanning Master 21+ from the desktop.
STEP 5: SCAN (toolbar) --> MODEL SETUP–> CS500-11en-pro
Select “Scan” then select “Model Set Up” from top menu bar and change scanner model to CS500-11EN-PRO
STEP 6: TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> MM to IN
Select “Tools” then select “Options” from top menu bar. In the “Unit Setup” tab, change units from “mm” to “in”.
STEP 7: SCAN (button) --> Paper size=USER DEFINED –> Input dimensions
Click the “Scan” button to open up the scan option menu. Change the “Paper Size” to “User Defined” and input document dimensions. Don’t use automatic detection.
STEP 8: Adjust settings and SCAN
IMPORTANT: Choosing any setting other than 'High' under Quailty when scanning at photo quality will result in random artifacts appearing in your scan.
Optional: Change additional settings to match your document (i.e. orientation, resolution, output, etc). The DPI setting will affect detail and quality, but a DPI over 300 will result in grainier scans. Press “Scan” to start scanning. If you get the warning “Scanner is not ready. Continue?”, press the “FORWARD” button on the scanner and then press “Yes” button on the screen to start scanning.
STEP 9: Save
Save your document. Open your document to ensure it scanned properly. Some smudging is normal, but if you notice significant streaking and smudging, notify desk staff.
STEP 10: Release your document
On the scanner, press the “Forward” or “Reverse” button to release the paper. Please do not pull out your document unless it is completely release.
