Hasselblad Flextight X1 User Manual

Operating instructions
1. It is assumed that the scanner and FlexColor software have
been properly installed.
2. If not already done, lower the feed table
A to normal position.
3. Press the red power button
F on the front of the scanner to
switch it on. The green light G starts ashing. This means that
no rmware has been downloaded yet. It will be downloaded
automatically later when you rst run the FlexColor program.
4. Turn on your computer and start the FlexColor program. The
green light G will stop ashing indicating that rmware has
been downloaded to the scanner.
5. Select the original holder
K that matches your original:
• For transparencies, choose one of the holders that has a
square hole in it. The original must completely ll the hole with
no edges showing. Also, no edges of the original must extend
past the outer edges of the holder.
• For reectives, select the large A4/letter-size holder with the
clear plastic layer. The feed table A must be in normal position.
• For 35 mm slide frames use the optional 35 mm slide mount
holder. The feed table A must be adjusted to horizontal posi-
tion (see diagram). This is obtained by lifting the table slightly
upwards while pushing it gently into the scanner.
NOTE! Each original holder has it’s own unique identication
code (a combination of small rectangular holes at the holder’s
leading edge). These codes, combined with the scanner’s abili-
ty to detect the feed table position, ensure that the scanner will
not operate unless the feed table position matches the selected
original holder.
6. Place the original holder
K with the slotted tab facing into the
scanner. For transparencies, the exible magnetic retaining
ap must face upwards. For reectives, the clear plastic sheet
must face upwards. Make sure that the original holder ts
between the appropriate guides C or D on both sides of the
light table.
7. Slide the holder gently into the slot
E at the top of the feed
table. It will slip about ½ cm (¼ inch) into it. Do not press too
hard. It slips in very easily and is held in place by a magnetic
clasp. To remove the holder, simply pull it gently backwards.
8. Lift the retaining ap of the original holder and place your
original L as follows:
• For transparencies, place your original with the emulsion side
down. The original must completely ll the hole with no edges
showing and with a minimum overlap of 2 mm along each
edge. Also, no edges of the original must extend past the outer
edges of the holder. Use the grid on the light table B to help
line up the image.
For transparency holders, the top retaing ap is magnetic,
which will hold the original fast.
• For reectives (Flextight X5 only), make sure that no part of the
original extends past the edge of the holder. Use the dotted
