7.3.2 Cut Overlap ( for ‘off-the-glass’ scans )
An exciting new Cut Overlap feature for ‘off-the-glass’ scanning. All scanners are designed to
see the object they scan at a fixed distance – the focus point. If this distance alters there will be
an overlap error between one camera and the neighbouring camera (even if the object is still
inside the depth of field of the lens). The Cut Overlap feature involves the use of a pattern
recognition system to create a perfectly joined scan. A typical example of an object benefiting
from this process would be a framed picture or an original mounted behind glass. This will also
work for any object being scanned where the image is not flat on the glass of the 24120.

8 Demonstration Tips
8.1 Shipping Considerations:
Due to the size and weight of the flatbed it may not always be a good idea to move the scanner
to the prospect. It is best for the prospect to travel to the dealer or referral site if possible. To
move the scanner is to risk damage to the glass. Re-calibration may also be needed.
The following instructions are important:
- Always refit both the shipping clamps prior to transporting the flatbed and remove them
again BEFORE re-connecting the power at the prospect’s site
The Scanworks Cut Overlap feature
works on the repeated data that occurs
when images are scanned ‘off-the-glass’.
