media offset

scanner media offset

  1. To get very high accuracy, modify the vertical precision from zero to a value between -1% and 1%.

Positive settings mean that the distance between scan lines will be increased, and negative settings mean that the distance between scan lines will be decreased.

When you exit the Scanner Setup dialog, the modified value is stored in non-volatile memory in the scanner and can only be changed by re-doing the setup.

extended thickness settings

Normally, only stiff media will affect stitching. A flexible media will usually be stitched correctly regardless of its thickness.

  1. If the lines seem uneven, check the box labeled Adjust for extended media thickness.
  1. Change the value for each of the scanner's cameras. Normally, only positive values should be used.
  1. Make test scans and readjust the values until you are satisfied that the lines are stitched correctly.
  1. Click OK to accept your settings.
