Introduction:
OMNISCAN 5000TT A1 - The Book Scanner A1 for Libraries and Archives
A new concept to scan or copy books and bound volumes 256 grey
scales and optional automatic image correction of the book curve
Until today, scanning or copying of books or bound volumes has been
cumbersome, time-consuming and was damaging the book spine. With state-
of-the-art technology ZEUTSCHEL provides now a unique high performance
digitizing system OMNISCAN 5000 Table Top with high resolution accuracy
and reliability that will efficiently handle books.
It will reduce imaging/copying time and labor cost. Simply place a book or a
bound volume "face up" on the book cradle and you will digitize an image with
all details in seconds. The scan head captures the original "from the top". Via a
SCSI 2 Wide interface the digital images will be sent to a PC and be instantly
stored on a hard disk.
Then it can be written on a CD-ROM or transferred into a network. Optional, a
laser-printer can be directly connected for immediate printout of a hard copy.
Handling of books is convenient and easy: a well-designed ZEUTSCHEL book
cradle guarantees that the book spines are not damaged, no shadow area
appears at the book gutter and the script will appear without distortion. The
result is high productivity and preservation of the book.
The quality of digital images depends on the quality of the optical lens, the
built-in scanning technology and the precision of the mechanical/electronic
components.
The OMNISCAN 5000 Table Top scanner head was designed with a high-
resolution lens, a precision mechanism to drive the high-performance CCD
scan line, a 256 grey-scales feature and an optional electronic image
correction of the book curve to guarantee superior scanning results. This
means sharp and crisp images even from poor originals with low contrast, very
fine lines or variable background density.
Each captured image can then be processed with a powerful image
enhancement software (optional: contrast enhancement, rotation, deskew, de-
speckle, cut/mask, crop, etc.) Thus, poor originals can be improved to good
digital images and hard copies and the storage space will be reduced
considerably at the same time.

Safety instructions:
The scanner must only be operated with a single-phasing power supply of 230
V/50 Hz with separate protective conductor. Before operation the power
supply must be checked by an authorised service engineer.
If the local power supply does not meet the above mentioned requirements,
please contact the manufacturer who will check if the scanner system can be
operated under the existing power supply conditions.
The power socket should be installed near the camera system and should be
always accessible.
It is not allowed to open the scanner system, as the system is still live even if
the mains switch is turned off.
After the scanner is switched on, the following functions will be automatically
executed:
Automatic initialisation of the scanner head
Top light is automatically switched on.
The following works must be executed by service engineers only:
1. Exchange of lamps/bulbs
2. Exchange of software programs
3. Interferences in control system, power supply
It is necessary to study carefully the operator's manual before operating the
scanner system.

Installation:
OS 5000TT A1 - book scanner A1
Unpacking
Carefully unpack the box consisting of:
- scanner base unit including book cradle and scanner control unit
- scanner column with scan head support (height adjustable)
- top light lamp set lamp set
- scanner head with built-in SCSI-interface pcb
- cable, scan head - power supply unit
- SCSI - cable, scan head - server pc (optional)
- SCSI-interface pcb (ADAPTEC, optional)
- OMNISCAN 8.0x scanner software with DONGLE (optional)
- OMNISCAN COPYSCAN software with DONGLE (optional)
Installation of the OS 5000TT A1
Install the OS 5000 TT A1 only on a sturdy, non vibrating table for best quality
results.
Latch the scanner column at the rear side of the book cradle into the scanner
base unit and fix the lamp set at the camera column. Connect the power cable
to the control unit.
Connect the foot pedals at the rear sideof the OS 5000TT A1.
Finally install the scanner head at the scanner head rest of the column.
Now you can connect the power cable from the scan head to the power supply
unit at the rear side of the base unit and finally install the SCSI- cable "scan
head - server pc".
Before you switch on the power please re-check the correct installation.
Lamp adjustment
The lamp set was already pre-adjusted at the factory. Final adjustments have
to be done by testing. Please make sure that there is no lamp reflection in the
document scan-area.

Installation of the OMNISCAN 8.0x scanner software with DONGLE
(optional)
Install the optional SCSI-interface pcb ADAPTEC into the server-pc (only if not
already pre-installed).
Switch-on the scanner OS 5000TT A1. Switch-on the server-pc, while booting
the OS 5000TT A1 has to identify itself at ID 5 with the name "ZEUTSCH.
OMNISCAN".
Now install the OMNISCAN 8.0.x software.
Please load the first disk in the disk drive "A" and select run a: setup.
Install the DONGLE onto the printer socket at the server-pc and load the
dongle driver disk.
Select run a: HLDRV32.exe
After a succesful installation start theOMNISCAN 8.0x-software and release
the first scan. For correct document positioning and focus adjustment we refer
to the operation instructions.
In case the fault message "cannot load WINASPI" appears you additionally
have to install the software "Adaptec EZ-SCSI v.4.01" and to restart the OS
8.0x-software.

Operation Instructions:
Start of the scanner:
- switch on the the main power switch of the scanner (1)
- switch on the server-pc (2)
- select scanning-software OMNISCAN 8.0x. (for details please see separate
operation manual for scan-software OMNISCAN 8.0x)
- all major scanning functions can be released with the function keys F2 to
F11, the scan exposure also can be released via the optional foot pedal.
Working with the book cradle
The book cradle grants the easy scanning of single or bound documents
without any compromise in quality.
The book plates can be locked in their positions by turning the locking knob (1)
clockwise. Simply position the book on the self-adjusting book plates and push
the book parallel down to the focus level (2) and lock the book plates.
- The scan area can be increased by moving the scan head up. At the same
time the scan resolution will be reduced. To move the scan head up please
open the locking knob (7), push the scan head rest upwards, as far as
necessary and re-lock the new position.
- The scan area can be reduced by moving the scan head down. At the same
time the scan resolution will be increased. To move the scan head down
please open the the locking knob (7), push the scan head rest downwards,
as far as necessary and re-lock the new position.
- For focusing the lens scale always have to be adjusted to the same value as
the scan head height value, which is indicated at the scanner base column.

The OS 5000TT A1 can be used in 2 different operation methods:
1. scanning all kind of documents with 400, 300, resp. 200 dpi resolution.
max. scan area 400 dpi: DIN A3 (B-size)
max. scan area 300 dpi: DIN A2 (C-size)
max. scan area 200 dpi: DIN A1 (D-size)
Move the scan head in the height to position A3, A2, resp. A1 and the lens
scale to A3, A2, resp. A1 as well.
You can now scan all documents up to size DIN A3 with 400 dpi, up to size
DIN A2 (C-size) with 300 dpi resolution.resp. up to size DIN A1 (D-size) with
200 dpi resolution.
Documents smaller than the adjusted max. document size can be easily
masked with the OS8.0x-software (see separate operation manual OS 8.0x).
2. Scanning documents with maximum resolution i.e. up to DIN A3 with
400 dpi, DIN A2 with 300 dpi, resp. DIN A1 with 200 dpi.
For scanning documents up to size DIN A3 (B-size) position the scan head to
the height position "A3" and turn the lens scale to position "A3" as well.
You can now scan the document with the maximum resolution of 400 dpi.
Documents of not standard DIN-sizes can be can be scanned with maximum
resolution for each document by stepless up or down-movment of the scan
head.
For focusing please assure that the selected scale value at the lens and at the
column are always identical.
