Scanning with the Batch
Feeder
Batch Scanning with 3f
e Batch Feeder is intended as a tool for scanning large numbers of
originals in a production environment. For this application, we strongly
recommend the 3f workow for maximum eciency and exibility.
e 3f image-le format preserves your full-resolution, 16-bit raw scans
and keeps a record of settings applied to each exported image. is gives
you the exibility to use all of the image correction and sizing tools in Fl-
exColor while ensuring that no data is lost from your original scan. Once
you have made all of the required settings in FlexColor for each image,
you can export TIFF or JPEG les in which all of your FlexColor settings
are applied. Your settings are stored in the original 3f le, but not applied
to it. If you export using dierent settings, then these are also stored with
the original le, providing you with a history of all the exports you have
made from the le. A given image might, for example, be optimized sev-
eral times for use in a black & white newspaper, color brochure, poster
and web page.
e 3f workow is fully described in the FlexColor User’s Guide. An ex-
ample of how to use it in a production environment is briey outlined
below.
Load the Batch Feeder with up to ten originals as described in “Load-
