CHAPTER 3 LOADING A DOCUMENT

3.1 Compatible Document Types

Because the scanner scans a document while feeding it, the document types that it can scan are subject to the following restrictions.

Compatible Media Widths for Scanning

Documents with a maximum width of 965 mm

Size

22 x 34 in

34 x 44 in

Compatible Media Lengths for Scanning

Documents up to approximately 16 m in length can be scanned.

However, the actual document length that can be scanned is limited by the available memory

(hard disk or other data storage device) of the computer to which the scanner is connected, and also by the grade of the document being scanned.

Compatible Document Thicknesses for Scanning

The CSX300-09 cannot scan a document that is thicker than 1.6 mm.

When using the carrier sheet that is available as an option, ensure that the combined thickness of both the document and carrier sheet does not exceed 1.6 mm.

Moreover, documents of an uneven thickness cannot be scanned.

Note: The carrier sheet alone is 0.2 mm thick.

Compatible Media Grades and Thicknesses for Scanning

Media Grades

• The scanning precision is guaranteed for the special chart (Mylar) used in the test (see

APPENDIX B, “SPECIFICATIONS”).

• The compatible media types are listed below.

♦ High-grade paper: 60 g/m

2

♦

Tracing paper: 50 to 55 g/m 2

♦ Mylar: 50 µ m

♦

Copy paper

♦ Diazo photo-sensitive paper

Be sure to use the carrier sheet that is available as an option when scanning a document where the ink or toner comes off when it is rubbed. If the carrier sheet is not used, there is a risk of the document feed path becoming stained, and causing subsequent documents to become stained as well.

3-1

3.2 Loading a Document

How to use the document guides

Insert the document (the surface to be scanned) face up into the scanner until the top edge of the document contacts the feed rollers. At this time, make sure that the document is straight and that it is centered in the scanner.

(1) With the top cover in the closed status, turn on the scanner’s power supply.

(2) Move the document guides to the left and right until they are adjusted to the document width.

(3) Place the document between the document guides, and then insert the document into the gap between the top cover and the document-scanning table, making sure that it is straight.

(4) When the preset delay time specified in the driver software has elapsed, the rollers start turning to automatically feed the document to the position to start scanning. The document is now loaded.

(5) After the document has been loaded, move the document guides back to the position where the

Document edge

dotted lines can be seen. If the guides are not moved, the document may get damaged if it is fed at an angle.

Document guides

Document-scanning table

Top cover

Document to be scanned

There are two document setting modes available (set by the driver software).

• The rollers start turning at a preset delay time after the document has been inserted so that they automatically feed the document to the position to start scanning.

• The rollers start turning when the [EJECT] key on the control panel is pressed after a document is inserted so that they automatically feed the document to the position to start scanning. (Manual loading)

If you want to reload the document, press the [EJECT] key to eject the document. Reload the ejected document.

When the document has been loaded, the [PAPER] LED (green) lights.

C heckpoint

If the PAPER LED does not light after the document feed operation has stopped, press the EJECT key to eject the document.

Caution

• If the document is inserted at an angle, the image may be scanned in at an angle or a scanning error may occur. Make sure that the document is aligned with the document guides when it is inserted.

• When the scanner has been turned on, the automatic feed operation starts after the specified interval of approximately three seconds has elapsed.

• Load the document in the scanner with the surface to be scanned face up.

• Do not place anything other than the document to be scanned on the documentscanning table. If you do so, the scanner rollers may start rotating, which is extremely dangerous.

3-2

Caution

• The document may not be fed in correctly if it is curled. The carrier sheet that is available as an option should be used for curled documents (see Section 3.5,

“Using the Carrier Sheet” for details).

• Load the document in the center of the scanner, as the document may be fed in at an angle and not scanned correctly if it is significantly off-center.

• Load the document in the center of the scanner. If it is significantly off-center, the document may shift and may not be scanned correctly.

3-3

3.3 Handling Documents According to their Material and Thickness

The following problems may occur, depending on the thickness and surface condition of the document being scanned.

• The document cannot be loaded.

• Scanning of the document stops half-way through.

• The document slips (resulting in displaced images).

• The end of the document is not scanned.

Such problems may be avoided by taking the following corrective measures.

• Lower the scanning speed.

Follow the procedure given below to reduce the scanning speed, using the values given in the following table as a guideline.

Note: These values are suggested as a guideline only. The actual values will vary according to the type of document and its condition.

(1) Start up the “Scanning Master 21+ (OPS112)” software that is provided with your scanner, and then display the [Scan] screen.

(2) Select the [Options] tab, and then move the “Scan Speed” slider to the Low end of the scale.

• Support the document at the front and the back of the scanner.

Place tables or similar objects in front of and behind the scanner to support the document while it is being fed.

3-4

3.4 Distance Correction

Corrections to the distance can be achieved using the driver software. The driver software included with your scanner (“Scanning Master 21+”) enables you to perform distance correction from the menu Tool

→

Adjust Scanner in order to adjust the scanning accuracy. The adjustment function must be set up when a scanned drawing needs to approximate the accuracy of the original drawing closely. (This is for making fine adjustments to the accuracy of the scanned drawing to suit the quality of the paper being used.) It is not normally necessary to perform this adjustment.

Adjustment method

Perform the distance correction process according to the type of document to be scanned.

Distance correction can be set in a range of

±

1%, which remains effective until the scanner’s power is turned off. The practice of distance correction necessitates that you measure a vertical line drawn on the document before following the procedure described below.

(1) Choose a document that has one or more vertical lines drawn on it and scan it at a resolution of 600 dpi (Portrait (vertical) format).

(2) Measure the length of the vertical line of the document and classify it as x (distance on the document).

(3) Measure the length of the same vertical line in the image data using the command to measure the distance between two specified points of relative measurement, and classify it as y (distance after the scan has taken place).

(4) Click on the Distance Correction button in the Adjust Scanner window to open the

Distance Correction window.

(5) Enter the value “x” (distance on the document) and the value “y” (distance after the scan has taken place) in this window. The values entered here must be within the range of the distance correction.

(6) Click the OK button to calculate the correction value. The distance will be corrected the next time a document is scanned.

3-5

3.5 Using the Carrier Sheet

Use the carrier sheet according to the condition of the document to be scanned.

In the case of scanning the following types of media, always place the document in the carrier sheet that is available as an option before loading it into the scanner.

• To scan a document that is smaller than A4 size or a document of non-standard size

• To scan a document that is as limp as or limper than a newspaper

• To scan a document that tears or becomes damaged easily

• To scan a document that is considerably damaged

• To scan a document that is badly creased

• To scan a curled document

• To scan a transparent or translucent document

• To scan a document to which other pieces of paper have been attached

• When the target document cannot be properly advanced to the initial position of scanning

(because the target document is not flat, or otherwise hard to load in the scanner)

• Curled documents with a width that exceeds A2-size (420 mm)

• Fragile documents with a width that exceeds A2-size (420 mm)

Transparent sheet (top surface)

White surface

(background surface)

Target document

4-11

CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES

If the scanner seems to be operating abnormally, perform the troubleshooting procedures described in this chapter before requesting a service call.

5.1 The scanner Is turned on but doesn’t operate at all

Cause

The power cable has come loose.

The scanner is connected to a power outlet that does not provide the rated power supply or supply voltage.

The power outlet is not supplying a supply voltage.

Remedy

Insert the power plug firmly.

Use only the rated power supply and supply voltage.

Check the power supply.

5.2 The scanner operates improperly after connection to the computer

Cause

Is the scanner properly grounded?

Is the USB cable between the computer and the scanner working properly?

Is the USB cable compliant with the USB 2.0

interface that you are using?

Is an add-on USB card being used?

Remedy

Make sure that the scanner is grounded.

Determine whether there are any problems with either of the cable connectors (e.g. a broken or bent pin) and ensure that the cable is inserted firmly into the connectors.

Ensure that you use a USB 2.0-compliant USB cable.

USB 1.1 add-on cards are not supported. Correct operation is not guaranteed when the scanner is connected to a USB port that is not the standard built-in computer port.

5.3 The control panel’s red ERROR LED is lit

Cause

A ROM, RAM or other hardware error occurred during the scanner’s self-test.

Remedy

An internal error has occurred. Contact the store where you purchased your scanner or your nearest Graphtec representative.

5-1

5.4 The control panel’s red ERROR LED is flashing

Cause

The scanner was turned on with a document left loaded inside it.

The top cover was opened during a scanning operation or while a document was left in the scanner.

If the document is jammed…

The length of the actual document is longer than the document length setting made in the

Scanning Arts SP driver.

The top cover is not fully locked.

Remedy

Open the cover and remove the document (see Section 4.8,

“Removing a Jammed Document”).

Press the control panel’s [STOP] button to cancel the error state. Next, remove the document by pressing the [EJECT] button to feed the document.

Open the cover and remove the document (see Section 4.8,

“Removing a Jammed Document).”

The scanner’s ERROR LED flashes when the end of the document is reached, but this does not indicate a problem with the scanner itself. Follow the instructions provided by the driver.

Close the top cover firmly until it is locked in place (see

Section 4.1, “Opening and Closing the Top Cover”).

5.5 The document isn’t properly fed to the initial scanning position

Cause

The document is curled, too thin, or otherwise in a poor condition.

Dust has accumulated on the paper sensors.

The document to be scanned may be too thick or heavy.

The document is a thick, long-length document.

Remedy

Load the document after placing it inside the carrier sheet that is available as an option (see Section 3.5, “Using the

Carrier Sheet”).

Clean the paper sensors (see Section 4.7, “Cleaning the

Sensors”).

In such cases, you should support the document with your hands when you insert it into the scanner, lower the scanning speed specified in the TWAIN driver, or both.

Load the document while supporting it with your hands.

5.6 The scanned image data is completely white or completely black

Cause

The document was loaded with its target surface face down instead of up.

The scanning conditions set were inappropriate for the document.

Remedy

Load the document in the scanner with its target surface (the surface to be scanned) face up.

Set the scanning conditions again (they can be controlled from the TWAIN driver provided with your scanner).

5.7 The image quality has dropped

Cause

The transparent contact plates over the image sensors are dirty.

l The document is transparent or translucent, but a carrier sheet was not used.

Remedy

Clean the transparent contact plates (see Section 4.6,

“Cleaning the Image Sensors”).

l Use the carrier sheet that is available as an option.

5-2

5.8 The scanned data is incorrectly aligned

Cause

The data is misaligned at a joint between the image sensors (see the figure below).

Remedy

After opening the Tools menu of the driver program (Scanning

Master 21+ driver) provided with your canner, select the Joint

Adjustment function then perform adjustment to achieve a seamless image.

C heckpoint

Your scanner comes shipped from the factory after being adjusted to ensure high precision.

Due to its operating environment or other factors, however, the scanning precision may deviate in very rare cases. Moreover, fine adjustment to correct any deviation can be performed using the driver software if the cause of the deviation is overlapped or missing data. Deviations due to the scanner specifications, however, cannot be adjusted.

Caution

Because the document is loaded face up, Sensor 1 is the leftmost sensor in the driver software’s display screens.

5.9 Smudges not appearing in the original document appear in the scanned data

Cause

The image scanned has a glossy surface, such as a photograph.

Remedy

Documents with a glossy surface should be scanned by placing them inside the carrier sheet that is available as an option.

5.10 The color intensity of the image data differs

Cause

The scanner contains five contact image sensors, the characteristics of which have been adjusted. However, some variation in color intensity may occur, depending on the type of document scanned.

The document scanned was creased or curled.

Remedy

Adjust the color using the color-correction function in the driver software provided with your scanner. One adjustment method is to make similar colors all the same color.

l Creased or curled documents should be scanned by placing them inside the carrier sheet that is available as an option.

5-3

5.11 The document length differs from the scanned data length

Cause

Distance correction adjustments have been made to ensure scanning precision for a document of a different paper type. The scanning precision varies according to the type of document.

Remedy

After opening the Tools menu of the driver program (Scanning

Master 21+) provided with your scanner, select the Distance

Correction function to adjust the precision.

5.12 Stripes or moire patterns which are not in the original document appear in the scanned data

Cause

The scanned document contains filled or shaded areas.

Remedy

Depending on the resolution selected, data that is comprised of filled or shaded areas may be scanned in as stripes or moiré patterns. This is not due to a scanner malfunction.

Note, however, that the vividness of the stripe and moiré patterns can be lessened by changing the resolution.

5.13 The scanned image data is distorted

Cause

The scanner’s image scanning quality has deteriorated.

Is the scanner properly grounded?

Remedy

Perform calibration (see Section 4.9, “Scanner Calibration”).

Make sure that the scanner is grounded.n.

5.14 The scanned image data is patchy

Cause

The scanner’s image scanning quality has deteriorated.

You are using a carrier sheet with a color document.

Remedy

Perform calibration (see Section 4.9, “Scanner Calibration”).

Don’t use the carrier sheet that is available as an option with color documents.

5.15 The document cannot be fed correctly

Cause

The document is fed at an irregular rate

(resulting in the images being scanned unevenly) or stops feeding half-way through.

The document has been loaded at an angle.

Remedy

The cause of this problem is often attributable to the weight or length of the document. In such cases, you should support the document with your hands when you insert it into the scanner, lower the scanning speed specified in the TWAIN driver, or both.

Reload the document.

*1 In actual scanning of the document is limited by the available memory and hard disk capacity of the computer, and document condition.

Moreover, the scanning of the long-length is out of the guarantee. The skew might be generated by the setting and the condition of the document, and in this case there is a possibility to be able to hurt the document, and not be able to scan. In this case it becomes out of the guarantee, please be carefully for the handling and the setting of the document.

*2 Notes on scanning precision

The scanning precision may vary slightly depending on the grade and thickness of the medium being scanned, and on the operating conditions. The precision figures above were measured under the operating conditions described below.

• Special test chart: Mylar sheet #300

• Guaranteed precision conditions: Temperature: 20˚C ± 5˚C; Humidity: 60% ± 15% RH

*3 Including data-transfer time

The following system was used to measure the scanning speeds.

• CPU: Pentium 4, 3.2 GHz or better • Memory: 1 GB or more • Interface: USB 2.0

The scanning speeds may be slower depending on the PC system used.
