Mounting originals for automatic scanning

How to place originals

• If your scanner is a flatbed, you can place originals directly on the glass plate, or you can

mount them in the supplied templates.

• To view an image right-side up on screen after preview scanning, place its top end towards the

left-hand side of the scanner.

• On a flatbed scanner, reflective originals (photos, prints etc.) must be placed with the image side

towards the glass. Tape the originals to the glass plate and lay a reflection mat (available as an

accessory from your Purup-Eskofot dealer) on top to facilitate automatic image recognition.

Instead of a reflection mat, you can also use a reflection template with the plain gray side fac-

ing down, or an equivalent gray sheet. If there is a black line at the left-hand end of the scan-

ner bed, make sure the mat or template stays to the right of it.

• On a drum scanner, reflective originals must be placed with the image side facing out, so it is

visible.

• For best results, transmission originals (slides and films) should be placed with the emulsion

side facing the glass. This means that original transparencies should be placed face up and

duplicates should be placed face down.

• On a flatbed scanner, books and 3D objects can be scanned with the lid of the scanner open.

Automatic image recognition with Magic Touch

If you use Magic Touch for fully automatic or semi-automatic scanning, ColorQuartet automati-

cally recognizes the image areas and draws a crop frame around each one.

• If the images are mounted in a template, Magic Touch intelligently crops only the image areas,

not the empty holes.

• If the images are placed directly on the glass plate, keep a distance of about 1 cm or 0.5”

between them, and make sure that they are lined up parallel to the scanner frame.

• The crop frames will always be drawn at right angles to the scanner bed, so if

an image is placed at an angle, not all of it will be included in the crop.

• Reflection originals should be covered with a reflection mat (available as an

accessory from your Purup-Eskofot dealer) or an equivalent gray sheet to

ensure correct cropping.
