Front Panel A Feed Table: must be in lower position for normal scanning. When scanner is not in use you can turn it to upright position flushing with the scanner front to protect it from dust etc. Adjust to horizontal position when using the 35 mm slide mount holder (see page 15). B Light Table: for viewing originals. The grid helps you to align yo[...]

Back Panel & Connectors A Power Cable Socket: plug the power cable into this socket. B FireWire Interface Sockets: plug a FireWire cable (max. 6 m) here and connect it to your computer. You can use the second plug to connect another device (hard disk, printer etc.) to the FireWire chain. User's Guide - Flextight 848 Hardware Reference - Fl[...]

Cut-Away View A CCD Housing: this movable platform contains the light sensor and holds the optics. B Positioning Lead Screws: for positioning of the CCD housing and optics housing for the appropriate resolution and original size. C Optics Housing: focuses the image of the original on the CCD. D Upper Light Source: illuminates reflective originals. [...]

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[...]

...continued NOTE! Each original holder has it's own unique identification code (a combination of small rectangular holes at the holder 's leading edge). These codes, combined with the scanner 's ability to detect the feed table position, ensure that the scanner will not operate unless the feed table position matches the selected ori[...]

...continued 9. Lay the top layer of the holder down flat over the original. • For transparency holders, the top layer is magnetic, which will hold the original fast. • For the reflective holder, note the four metal pegs (the top two are shown as A and C in Figure 5 below); make sure that the clear plastic sheet is pressed all the way down over[...]

Calibrating the Scanner The scanner requires two types of calibration: • Focus calibration adjusts the positioning of the scanners optics for each zoom level. If your scans are coming out unfocused or at slightly the wrong size, then you may need to make a new focus calibration to adjust the zoom mechanism. The focus calibration is stored in the [...]

Focus Calibration The Flextight 848 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.
