ATAC - Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control

Contex scanners can scan up to 0.6-inch (15mm.) thick originals such as posters mounted on foamboards, gatorboards etc.

The CONTEX CRYSTAL XL 42", CHROMA XL 42" and MAGNUM XL 54" supports Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control (ATAC), specially developed to make handling of large and bulky documents much easier. Inserting and scanning thick originals requires adjustment of the guide plate's height so it accommodates the thick original with the correct pressure and grip for a straight scan path. With most scanners, this requires first measuring the original's thickness and then setting the guide plate height on each side of the scanner.

With ATAC technology, height adjustment of the guide plate becomes both easy and extremely precise. Through buttons on the scanner panel, you first raise guide plate until you can insert your thick media without friction. Then, you press the down control and the guide plate will be lowered until it stops on its own. Sensors in the scanner monitor the pressure the guide plate's rollers apply on the original's surface and position the guide plate at the optimal level.

With ATAC technology, you are always ensured a perfect and even grip on any kind of original placed in the scanner. ATAC technology is also a time saver for scan jobs that involve many originals of variable thickness.
