Colortrac 24120 Product Sales Guide 18
- Pay careful attention to re-packing. Protect the glass by using the foam and ply board
packing supplied
- Do not allow anyone to STAND or place heavy objects on the scanner even when packed
ready for shipment
- Do choose a reliable and careful shipping/carrier
8.2 Preparing the 24120
The scanner should be allowed to warm up thoroughly for at least 45 minutes before carrying out
a light/dark Normalisation. Note that for the flatbed the normalisation target stays still and the
scanning head moves back and forth inside the scanner.
- Make sure the glass is clean.
- Make sure you have Scanworks Version 2 (to access the flatbed s/w enhancements)
- Make sure your attached computer is at least 2.4 GHz with a fast 40GB hard disk and the
Firewire or SCSI interface is working properly.
- Do some test scans.
8.3 Know what the customer needs from the demo
Obviously set the expectations of speed and price BEFORE you get to the demo stage. If the
client wants to see certain documents scanned ask him/her to bring some along. Be prepared to
write a CD or DVD of the scans for the prospect to take away with them when they leave. Know
how to use the flatbed image editing tools such as the Join Images (Overlay Method is sufficient)
and the Cut Overlap. Remember the Flatbed 24120 is compatible with Copyworks 2 (new
version) so originals which can only be scanned in the flatbed can now be copied and
reproduced as well.
8.4 Know the Unique Selling Points of the flatbed
Finally the strength of the Colortrac Flatbed scanner lies in the fact that it can scan the objects
other sheet-feeders cannot. Typical examples where the 24120 can be the only scanner to use
are:
~ Cloth and tapestry items
