Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Does this scanner feature native USB ports for easier connections?
  Yes. Unlike older legacy variations that rely strictly on SCSI layout, the GT-15000 motherboard features a native Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. This lets you plug directly into standard modern PCs or laptops using a standard interface cable. A secondary legacy SCSI-2 tracking port is still built into the panel for old server environments.
• Can I use this scanner to digitize oversized documents like blueprints or accounting ledgers?
  Yes. The robust large-format flatbed surface glass safely handles thick bound books, ledger graphics, historical sketches, and wide blueprints up to 11.7 inches x 17 inches without running sensitive items through high-friction rollers.
• Can I stack multiple sheets and run them automatically?
  Out of the box, this unit operates as a high-precision manual single-sheet flatbed layout designed for creative design or document archiving. To automate large stacks of typical multi-page office paperwork, you can purchase the optional external 100-sheet automatic document feeder assembly.
• How do I release the unit from its safe transit configuration?
  Before plugging in or initializing the device, place the scanner body flat on a stable workstation table. Locate the physical carriage transport lock button or pin situated near the scanner tracking mechanisms, then shift it into the unlocked configuration to free up the internal optical scanning carriage block.
