Foreword
Foreword
Welcome to the 360
Colour Drum
Scanner
ICG welcome you to the 360 Colour Drum Scanner.
The 360 is developed from the revolutionary 350i
vertical drum scanner which brought professional
quality colour scanning into the desktop publishing
environment for the first time.
The 360 scanner is a compact, high quality, high
productivity drum scanner able to analyse transpar-
ent, reflection copy and negative originals up to A3
size and with an input resolution of up to 12,000
dots per inch (472.5 pixels per mm). The originals
can be colour, monochrome or linework. Several
originals can be mounted on the drum at one time.
Operator control of the scanner is by means of the
ICG ScanXact user interface program running on an
Apple Power Macintosh computer system.
Picture data from the 360 is in either of two forms:
•Low resolution images for viewing on the
Macintosh screen.
•High resolution images stored as files on the
Macintosh hard disk ready for post-scan
processing.
RGB or fully colour corrected four-colour (CMYK)
images can be created as required.
The Manuals You Your 360 system is very simple to use. Operation is

360 scanner unit itself.
•ScanXact User Manual. This contains full
instructions on how to use the Macintosh program
to scan originals mounted on the scanner drum.
These manuals should be kept together in your
Operator Handbook binder.
Alert Conventions Alert text appears in this manual from time to time, in
the form of Note, Caution and Warningmessages.
These have the following conventional meanings:
Note: An alert message drawing attention to an
important piece of information relating to
the use of the system.
Caution: An alert message drawing attention to a
procedure or practice where non-
observance could result in damage to
equipment.
Warning:An alert message drawing attention
to a procedure or practice where non-
observance could result in personal
injury.
