IBM TDS800 user manual Non-standard size originals, Scan width

Non-standard size originals

The scanner of the Océ TDS800 automatically detects the width of the inserted original. For DIN sizes, for example, it detects whether the width is A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, 500 mm, or 700 mm. The Océ TDS800 system uses a memory table that contains all standard width - standard length combinations to predict the length of the original. The scanner also measures the real length of each original while it is transferred through the scanner.

Note: When you scan thick, thin or damaged originals or originals in a carrier sheet, it is recommended to use the output at the rear side of the scanner to ensure correct delivery (see ‘Define settings for the next original’ on page 61).

The scan width

To prevent the loss of information when you scan a non-standard original, you can select the ‘non-standard’ scan width. The scanned width will then be larger than the original width. It is also possible to define the scanned width and length yourself.

▼Define the scan width

1Open the ‘Sheet’ card in the ‘Original’ section.

2Press ‘Scan width’ to select the required setting:

■Standard. This option must be used to scan a standard-size original.

■Non-standard. This option can be used to scan a non-standard original. The scanned width will be larger than the original width (to the next larger, standard size), to prevent information loss.

■Numeric. Define the scan width with the arrow keys or the numeric keys.
