ii ScanMate F6 / ScanMate F8 Plus • Operator’s Manual
The ScanMate F6 and ScanMate F8 Plus are fast single-pass A3 flatbed
scanners with a vertically aligned optical system. They are designed to extract
digital RGB color from transmission and reflection originals, including both
positives and negatives, using the supplied scanning program, ColorTrio. Black
and white originals can be scanned as gray scale or line art.
The ScanMate F6 and ScanMate F8 Plus can scan reflective originals up
to European A3 format (297 x 420 mm or 11.7" x 17"). Maximum optical
resolution is 3000 dpi for the ScanMate F6 and 4000 dpi for the ScanMate F8
Plus. For both models, maximum interpolated resolution is 11,000 dpi.
After scanning, CMYK separations can be made via Photoshop or other
separation software. ScanView’s ColorQuartet software is available as an
option and is highly recommended for both scanning and separation.
In order to get the full benefit from your scanner, we strongly recommend
that you read this manual, as well as the ColorTrio Operator’s Manual. For
installation or repacking, please refer to the ScanMate F6 / ScanMate F8
Plus Installation and Repacking Instructions. In the manuals you will find:
