Setting up the Scanner Environmental Requirements Set up the scanner in a location that fulfils the following requirements: • Keep the scanner away from sources of heat, such as direct sunlight or a radiator. Warm temperatures will degrade the quality of your scans - for best results, work in a cool environment. • The scanner must be operated a[...]

Installation Procedure, FireWire Interface 1. Place the scanner on a table near your computer with the front facing away from you. Make sure that the location you choose meets all environmental - and electrical requirements as described on page 11. 2. When using a FireWire interface connection, it is not necessary to switch of your computer and oth[...]

Attaching/Detaching the Feed Table To attach the feed table correctly onto the scanner lead the brackets (B) as far as they go into the slits (C) in the scanner base, then lower the table and pull it slightly backwards to ensure that the notches (D) catch the bottom of the slits. To detach the feed table correctly from the scanner lift it slightly [...]

Mounting/Dismounting of the Cabinet To dismount the cabinet (A) remove the two screws (B) at the scanner back using a 2.5 mm allen key, then pull the cabinet upwards. When mounting the cabinet, make sure that it catches the bends (C) in both sides, then lower it slowly while making sure that it goes free of all cables and extrusions and finally tig[...]

8. Lift the top layer of the original holder and place your original as follows: • For transparencies, place your original (G) with the emulsion side down. The original must completely fill the hole with no edges showing and with a minimum overlap of 2mm along each edge. Also, no edges of the original must extend past the outer edges of the holde[...]

Resolutions True Resolutions The table below shows the max. resolutions (in ppi) available with each of the original holders when scanning in True Resolutions mode. Calibrating the Scanner The scanner requires two types of calibration: • Focus calibration adjusts the positioning of the scanner 's optics for each zoom level. If your scans are[...]

Focus Calibration The Flextight 646 scanner uses an adjustable zoom and focus mechanism to optimize its scanning resolution for each of the original formats it can handle. If you suspect your scans are not as sharp as they should be, then you may need to calibrate your scanner. Note that you must not calibrate the scanner every day. It is intended [...]

White Calibration for Reflectives The Flextight scanner uses a white reference to make sure that all elements in the scanner's CCD react consistently to light brightnesses. The scanner has been calibrated from the factory, and the calibration data is stored in the scanner ’s flash PROM. As the scanner ages, the properties of the light tubes [...]

5. Click on Calibrate . The scanner will take several scans of the white target. The process will take about eight minutes.
