Preface

DuoScan f40 can scan reflective and transparent originals, each on an independent scan bed. The

scanner uses the Twinplate scanning technology, allowing you to prepare transparent originals

while scanning reflective originals and vice versa. This means a considerable increase in

productivity. Instead of only switching the light source, the scanner switches mirrors and thereby

uses a different optical path to scan transparent originals. This allows the scanner to optimize the

optical path for both types of originals.

DuoScan f40's image quality makes it perfectly suitable for pre-press graphical applications. It is

based on flatbed CCD (Charge Coupled Device) scanning technology. DuoScan f40 is

characterized by a large input size range and a high scanning speed. Due to its 10 000 CCD pixels,

an impressive output size range can be achieved. This high-precision instrument features

exceptional sharpness and color fidelity.

The universal transparency plate and three single slide holders allow you to scan transparent

originals. An batch slide holder frame and a set of four types of batch slide holders are available in

order to increase the productivity of the scanner. To facilitate the scanning of thick originals like

magazines and books, the document cover adjusts automatically to the thickness of the original. If

necessary, you can remove the document cover of the DuoScan f40 completely by lifting it.

The originals can be of any type. The FotoLook™ scanning software will optimize the scan result.

ColorTune™ software ensures that colors are matched seamlessly throughout the entire prepress

and printing process. The bit depths can be either 3 x 14 bit for color (packed into 3 x 16 bit or

truncated to 3 x 8 bit), 14 bit for gray scale originals (packed into 16 bit or truncated to 8 bit), or 1 bit

for line-art originals. The scanned data are transferred to the workstation through FireWire or USB.

The workstation can be either an Apple™ Macintosh™ or PC.

Chapter 1: Preparing the Scanner

This chapter assists you in preparing your DuoScan f40 for installation. You will find instructions for:

!Unpacking the Scanner

!Unlocking the Scanner

!Locking the Scanner

!Taking a Closer Look

Chapter 1: Preparing the Scanner 6

Unpacking the Scanner

1 Open the packing box and take out all the items carefully.

2 Check each item to make sure that there is no visual defect.

If something is missing, contact your dealer or Agfa service representative.

3 Remove the plastic wrapping and the packing materials from the scanner.

"Note: Save the packing materials to protect the scanner when you have to move it over

long distances.

Unlocking the Scanner

The scanner’s optical carriage contains all optical components and rides back and forth during the

scan. An unlocking screw at the bottom of your DuoScan f40 holds the carriage in place during

shipment. You have to loosen this screw before you can operate the scanner.

1 Pull the scanner carefully over the edge of the table until you can see the unlocking screw at

the bottom of the scanner.

2 Take a coin and turn the screw a quarter counterclockwise.

The screw comes loose: your scanner is unlocked.

3 Move the scanner back on your desktop. Allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) around each

side of the scanner and a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) at the rear of the scanner.

Chapter 1: Preparing the Scanner 7

Locking the Scanner

If you need to transport the scanner over long distances, you should first lock your scanner. This

will protect the scanner's optical assembly from possible damage.

1 Switch on your scanner.

The scanner’s optical assembly moves to its home position.

2 When the busy indicators stop blinking, pull the scanner carefully over the edge of the table

until you can see the unlocking screw at the bottom of the scanner.

3 Take a coin and turn the screw a quarter clockwise.

The screw is tightened: your scanner is locked.

4 Move the scanner back on your desktop.

5 Switch off your scanner.

Your scanner is now ready for transportation.
