1.1 Introduction to the Scanner

This manual describes the features and operation of the scanner as installed on an AFHCAN Cart. Four scanner models are covered (see Figure 1):

Epson Perfection Model 1650

Epson Perfection Model 4490

Epson Perfection Model 4990

Four scanner models

Models 1640 and 1650 were part of the original deployment of AFHCAN Carts. These models work well in the AFHCAN installation, but are no longer being manufactured. Model 4490 is standard for new installations, or may be selected as a replacement for the previous models.

Model 4990 is an option that can be ordered in place of the 4490, and allows for 8-inch by 10-inch transparencies such as x-rays to be scanned.1

In general, the AFHCAN software functions the same for all the scanners that have been deployed with the AFHCAN Cart. There is no significant difference in the basic operating sequences. However, with the newer scanners, the appearance of certain screens may vary slightly from the illustrations shown in this manual.

1Scanning of transparencies requires the use of manual mode, which is an advanced scanning feature. Information on manual mode will be provided separately. Consult the Epson documentation for details.
