B.3.4 Scanning in Folder Mode
This mode is similar to the flat mode, but it treats both sides of the document bed
independently. The scanner performs a pre-scan and measures the heights of the
document on the left side and the right side.

If the measurement does not produce any meaningful results the keyboard will play the
sound “Attention” and the display will show the message:
After repositioning the document, press Start to retry or Stop
to cancel and advance to the next step.
The left and right book cradle positions are assumed to be
the focal plane. Press Start to accept or Stop to cancel the
scan.
The focal point and the lamps will follow the measured heights of the two sides of the
document which was determined during pre-scan. The focus plane and the position of the
lamps make a step between the two different levels in the middle of the scanner. It is
therefore necessary to center a folder to the scanner to achieve optimum results.
The digital zoom is adjusted relatively to the measured height so that the previously
selected resolution is met. If true dpi resolution is selected, the digital zoom is switched
off and the scan will be executed in the native optical resolution at the given distance
between the document and the CCD.
Note: This will result in two different dimensioned images if they are not at the same
height.
Note: As long as the scan is not cancelled, all retries or changes of document mode are
completely transparent to the application. If the scan is finally cancelled, a “Stop
Button Pressed” status is sent to the application.
