Unlocking the Scanner
Autolock
The scanner's optical carriage contains all optical components and rides back and forth during the
scan. An unlocking foot at the bottom of your Arcus 1200 holds the carriage in place during
shipment. The scanner will automatically be unlocked when you place the scanner on a flat
surface.
" Note: When you pull the scanner of the table, the scanner will automatically be locked. This
will protect the scanner's optical assembly from possible damage.
Unlocking the Transparency Unit (TPU)
To scan negatives, transparencies or slides you use the transparency unit (TPU) of your Arcus
1200. The TPU of your scanner is locked. You have to unlock this TPU before you can use it.
