The Konica Minolta PS7000C MKII is a full-color digital book scanner designed for efficient and high-quality digitization of various originals, including books, sheets, and 3D objects. This quick guide outlines its primary functions and operational aspects.

Function Description:

The PS7000C MKII serves as a versatile scanning solution, capable of capturing images from a wide range of materials. Its core function is to convert physical documents and objects into digital formats, making it suitable for libraries, archives, and other institutions requiring preservation and accessibility of printed materials. The scanner supports full-color scanning, ensuring accurate reproduction of original content. It integrates with Image DIVA software for scan management, preview, and printing.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific technical specifications like resolution (DPI), scanning speed, and file formats are not detailed in this quick guide, the device is presented as a "FULL COLOR DIGITAL BOOK SCANNER," implying its capability to capture images with a broad color gamut. The scanner features a book table designed to accommodate various original types, including books, sheets, and 3D objects. The effective Auto Focus range is specified as 50 mm (2 inches) to 100 mm (4 inches) above the usual height of the book table, indicating a precise focusing mechanism for optimal image clarity. The maximum inclination of a page at the center of a book for correct image reading is 50 degrees.

Usage Features:

Placing the Original:

The scanner offers flexible placement options for different types of originals:

• For a Book Original:

  • Place the book face up on the book table.
  • Align the top edge of the book against the stopper.
  • Align the spine of the book with the center mark.
  • When making spread or split scans, align the center of the book with the center mark. For a right page scan, align the left edge of the book to the center mark, and for a left page scan, align the right edge of the book to the center mark.
  • Important Notes for Books:
    • Do not place the original askew.
    • When spreading a book open, avoid creating gaps between pages.
    • Ensure the book is pressed down completely to be as flat as possible.
    • Do not place the book with its top edge beyond the stopper.
    • If pressing the original from the bottom, avoid the condition shown in the figure where the book is not fully supported.
    • Hold the edges of both pages at the middle with your hands, press the book down, and pull the pages slightly apart to flatten them.
    • Adjust the height of the book table so that the right and left pages are horizontal.
    • If the inclination of the page at the center of the book exceeds 50°, the image may not be read correctly.
    • The book table height should be adjusted so that the original is within the effective Auto Focus range (50 mm to 100 mm above the usual book table height).

• For a Sheet Original:

  • Place the sheet face up on the book table.
  • Align the top edge of the sheet against the stopper.

• For a 3D Object:

  • Place the 3D object face up on the book table.
  • For optimum exposure, it is recommended to place the 3D object on a piece of white paper.

Using the Optional Glass Plate Unit:

An optional glass plate unit can be used to flatten documents and books for better scanning results:

• After placing the book or document on the book table, hold the glass plate unit by its handle and gently lower it onto the document.
• Once scanning is complete, hold the unit by its handle and gently lift it up.

Initiating "SCAN" & Print with Image DIVA:

The scanning process is managed through the Image DIVA software:

• Scan Selections: Users can choose scan page options (Single-Left, Spread, Single-Right), scan size (e.g., 18x24 L, 11x17 L/P, 8.5x14 L/P, 8.5x11 L/P), and scan mode (Color, B&W Photo, B&W Text). Exposure settings can also be adjusted (Auto is shown as default).
• Scanning: Click or touch the "Scan" button on the Image DIVA screen to initiate the scan.
• Preview and Print: The scanned image will appear in the preview area. Users can then click or touch the "Print" button.
• Printing Status: Image DIVA will display a "Now Printing..." message during the printing process.

Initiating "SCAN" by Using the Manual Switch:

In addition to software control, scans can also be initiated using physical manual switches on the device:

• Press the Manual Switch button.
• For a left side page scan, press the left side manual switch.
• For a right side page scan, press the right side manual switch.

Maintenance Features:

The quick guide does not explicitly detail maintenance features. However, the "CAUTION!" note regarding the optional cradle highlights a safety aspect related to moving parts, advising users to be careful to avoid catching fingernails when adjusting the cradle. This implies that users may need to interact with and adjust physical components of the scanner, which could be part of routine setup or minor adjustments rather than dedicated maintenance procedures. Regular cleaning of the book table and glass plate (if applicable) would be standard practice for maintaining image quality, though not explicitly mentioned.
