1INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing Colortrac Ltd for your flatbed colour scanning needs.
This manual covers the installation, operation and maintenance of the Colortrac A1
Flatbed 24120 scanner.
All Colortrac scanners (sheet-feed as well as flatbed) require a host computer running a
Windows operating system and the ScanWorks PC software. The operation of
ScanWorks is described using 'Hot Tips' within the software.
The Colortrac Flatbed scanner must NOT be installed by an end user. The flatbed will
almost always need re-aligning after shipment and this can only be done an Colortrac
engineer or one of it's approved distributors/ resellers who have been suitably trained on
this product by Colortrac.
In order to achieve the best results from your scanner, we recommend that you spend a
few minutes reading the Operation and Maintenance sections of this manual.
We hope that you will have years of productive trouble-free flatbed scanning.

2SAFETY
Electrical Safety
Do not remove any of the cover panels without first
disconnecting the power and waiting for the recommended time
General Safety Warning
Do NOT place any heavy objects, which including standing, on
scanner. The glass will not take the weight of a human body or
similar heavy object and can cause serious damage to the
scanner.
Colortrac Ltd cannot accept responsibility for damage to the
flatbed scanner if there is reasonable doubt that these warnings
have been disregarded.
Weight Warning
The scanner weighs approx. 120 Kg and will require a minimum of two people to lift it.
No attempt should be made by a single person to lift it as serious back damage is likely.
Colortrac Ltd recommend that in the interests of safety four adults should be used to
move the scanner once unpacked.
Environmental Warning
This equipment is not intended for operation while exposed to the following: extremes of
temperature; excessive dust, moisture, or vibration; flammable gases; corrosive or
explosive atmospheres; any ingress of water.
2.1 EMC Class A
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio

3INSTALLATION
3.1 Unpacking and Installation
This is to be carried out by a Colortrac engineer or approved distributor/ reseller. Any
attempt to install this scanner by the user will invalidate the warranty. If the scanner needs
to moved to a different then a Colortrac engineer will need to be contacted to arrange for
movement.
3.2 Scanner Cabling and Set-up
Bfore connecting the scanner to the power supply, please ensure that the local supply is
within the voltage and frequency range specified on the voltage rating plate on the back of
the scanner.
The scanner automatically senses the local power supply and requires no operator
setting.
The scanner may be connected to the host computer via the Ultra Wide SCSI connector
or the IEEE1394 FireWire connector. Colortrac Ltd recommends the use of the FireWire
connector if you are running Windows 2000/XP on the host computer.
3.2.1 Installation using IEEE 1394/Firewire
To connect your scanner using FireWire, simply plug in the supplied FireWire connector
to your host computer. If you are running Windows 2000/XP the computer will
automatically detect the scanner and ask for a driver. This is supplied on the
accompanying software CD.
Note: If a Firewire cable is plugged into the scanner the SCSI connector will be disabled.
Do not try and run the scanner from both ports at the same time.
3.2.2 Installation using ultra wide SCSI
The host computer and the scanner should be powered off and an appropriate SCSI
cable used to connect the scanner to the computer. By default the scanner is set to SCSI
ID 5. If your PC is not compatible with this setting please contact your distributor who will
be able to provide assistance.

4OPERATION OF SCANNER
4.1 Initial Start-Up
On power up the internal scanner lights will turn on and the main display will show a
rotating symbol on top of image of scanner, for approximately 15 seconds after which the
display will just show image of scanner. The scanner is now ready for use. As the scanner
has multiple cameras, on initial installation Colortrac Ltd recommends that the operator
runs an auto-stitch and re-calibrated, for details on how to do this see section 6.
4.2 Document insertion
When the display shows ready, the scanner is available for use. Lift the cover on top of
scanner, and lay the document onto glass, face down and lined up with the narrow black
edge of glass. Replace the cover ready for scanning. It is recommend that documents are
removed from scanner so as not to cause light damage to valuable originals.
WARNING - Documents that are sensitive to light
should not be left in the scanner
COLORTRAC LTD ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE TO ANY DOCUMENT
DURING THE LOADING PROCESS OR ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE TO
ANY DOCUMENT FADED BY LIGHT.
4.3 Start Scanning
The host software initiates the scan. Please refer to the software 'Tool Tip' built into
ScanWorks for further information.

5MAINTENANCE
5.1 Left/ Right and Front/ Back Stitch
Unlike the previous Colortrac models, the Flatbed 24120 doesn't have an auto-stitch.
Therefore a manual stitch procedure is required. Place stitch target on scanner face down
with bottom edge of target nearest narrow black strip of glass.
Using ScanWorks, under the 'Data Control' tab, run the manual stitch. Pressing the 'Scan'
button will automatically scan the target, displaying the image in ScanWorks. Zoom into
the centre triangle by holding left click down while drawing box around the required area.
Look at the stitch points between the two cameras. If a discrepancy is see adjust the
values by moving the slider in either direction, remembering to adjust Front/ Back stitch
values first. Then re-scan to see what difference has been made.

6COLOUR CALIBRATION
The scanner will need to be colour calibrated after 30 minutes of being switched on. This
ensures that the scanner produces the correct colours across the scan. This can be
carried out automatically by positioning the Calibration Target over the scan head making
sure that the tubes are in the centre of the target (see below). Select the option in
ScanWorks (Data Controls) to carry out a re-calibration/ white balance.
In order to achieve the best colour response from the scanner, it should be left on
continuously.
7Service Requirements on Tubes and Lubrication
The scanner will require a yearly service to ensure that it gives the best performance. The
details of this service can be obtained from your distributor.
THE SCAN HEAD RUNNER WILL NEED TO BE LUBRICATED 2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR
USING A SMALL AMOUNT OF LUBRICATION OIL TO MAINTAIN SMOOTH
OPERATION.
