Image Access BE5V1 Book Cradle Instruction Manual
Book Cradle
The Bookeye 5 V1A is equipped with a book rocker. The book rocker can be used
in two modes, in flat position or in V-position.
The V position is recommended for very delicate, old books and documents. The opening angle between the book cradle plates is 140 degrees. When the book rockers are lifted into the “V” position, they are held by a support leg on each side. In the “V” position, the plates can also be pushed apart horizontally. The small opening angle puts only minimal strain on the book binding.
The book cradle plates can be pushed apart horizontally. The maximum possible distance between the plates is 200 mm (8 inch). This position is particularly suitable for scanning bound originals.
Function of the glass plate
General information
Before using the glass plate, the book cradle plates must be placed in the
flat plane position.
For safety reasons, the force with which the glass plate is lifted from the
lowered position is limited.
Keep a distance to the swivel range of the glass plate to avoid any risk of
injury.
Operating modes of the glass plate
The Bookeye® 5 VIA has two operating modes that are controlled in conjunction with the glass plate (A):
- Automatic mode
- Manual mode
Move Glass Palate
Press the open control panel button (1) to call up the “glasspalate control”
(2).
The following figure shows the scanwizard touch “glasspalate control” with its
controls.
Automatic scan mode
Move the glass plate to the horizontal scan position using the LIMIT ROTATION
DOWN button.
Move the glass plate up or down in small steps using the UP and DOWN buttons until you have reached the desired contact pressure. The glass plate moves only as long as one of these buttons is pressed.
Save the pressure of the glass plate by pressing the SAVE PRESSURE button.
This can be any manually moved position. This pressure is selected manually
for each book. If it is moved down further, the contact pressure on the book
pages increases.
Use the ROTATION DOWN and ROTATION UP buttons to move the glass plate to the
desired opening angle.
Save the opening angle of the glass plate by pressing the SAVE OPEN button.
This can be any manually moved angle position.
Open the control panel for the automatic scan mode.
Resets the changed parameters to the default setting.
Defines the opening height after the scan, before moving to the stored opening angle.
Defines the traversing speed for the turn motor.
Defines the traversing speed for the lift motor.
Defines the contact pressure.
Activate the automatic scan mode.
Start a scan.
The glass plate moves to the saved scan position.
The scan is triggered.
The glass plate moves to the saved opening position.
Control panel buttons
The control panel keys of the Bookeye° 5 VIA can be used to additionally control, program or interrupt the travel of the glass plate during a scanning process.
The control panel of the Bookeye° 5 VIA has seven keys with additional functions for glass plate control.
No| Name| Function: Automatic drive mode Key color: Blue|
Function: Programming mode Key color: Red
---|---|---|---
1| | Raises the closed glass plate as long as the key is held up or its
maximum height osition is reached.| Moves the closed glass plate down as long
as the key is held down or until the currently defined contact pressure is
reached.
2| | Move the closed glass plate as long as the key is held up or its maximum
height osition is reached.| Moves the closed glass plate down as long as the
key is held down or until the currently defined contact pressure is reached.
3| | Activates the programming mode.| Saves the current contact pressure of
the jlass plate.
4| | Raises the glass plate by a set distance and then moves it to the
programmed opening angle.| Increases the opening angle of the glass plate as
long as the key is held down or the programmed opening angle is reached.
5| | Moves the glass plate to the scan or contact pressure position.|
Decreases the opening angle of the glass plate as long as the key is held
down.
6| | Activates the programming mode.| Saves the current opening angle of the
glass plate.
7| | Immediately stops any glass plate movement.| Immediately stops any glass
plate movement and exits programming mode.
Programming mode
The programming mode is activated by pressing the P button.
The programmable drive keys light up in red.
The glass plate moves as long as a movement key is pressed or until the
currently defined maximum position or contact pressure is reached. By pressing
the P button, the current glass plate position is saved and the programming
mode is deactivated.
The drive keys light up in the color blue.
When the glass plate is moved to its largest opening angle, the motor control
is disconnected from the power supply.
The glass plate can now be moved up and down by hand without risk.
If one of the drive keys is pressed, the motor controls are immediately
reconnected to the power supply.
Illumination of the control panel keys:
In drive mode, a drive key is illuminated in the color blue, in programming
mode in the color red.
Their function is active.
If the illumination is off, the drive button cannot be operated.
Its function is disabled.
If the P key flashes, the current drive position of the glass plate cannot be
saved, for example if the opening angle is too small.
If the drive keys flashes, the NEW BOOK button must be pressed in the
“Glassplate Control”.
Automatic drive mode
In the automatic drive mode, the drive keys for the lift motor and for the
turn motor light up in blue.
Manual drive mode
In the manual drive mode, only the drive keys for the lift motor light up in
the color blue.
Other notes
The saved scan positions are always reset when the ScanWizard user changes or when the scanner is switched off.
A scan can be started using the following options:
- ScanWizard Touch SCAN START button,
- Foot switch.
Manual scan mode
Press the NEW BOOK button to move the glass plate to the starting position.
The glass plate moves to the maximum possible height position and opening
angle.
Only in the home position is the glass plate de-energized and can be moved manually! As soon as you press one of the control panel keys or ScanWizard Touch “Glassplate Control” buttons before manually reaching the horizontal contact pressure position, the glass plate can no longer be moved manually!
In manual drive mode, the glass plate position is not saved when the programming mode is exited by pressing the STOP key.
- Move the glass plate manually to the horizontal contact pressure position without actuating the control panel keys or ScanWizard Touch “Glassplate Control” buttons.
- Adjust the contact pressure using these two control panel keys.
- Initiate a scan.
- After the scan, manually move the glass plate to a desired opening angle.
- Change the document or turn a book page.
- Manually move the glass plate to the horizontal contact pressure position without pressing the control panel keys or ScanWizard Touch “Glassplate Control” buttons.
- Repeat the scanning process.
