List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 Prepare line image for scanning | 1.1 Line image for scanning is scaled to conform to production specifications 1.2 Quality of line image for scanning is assessed to determine scanner settings 1.3 Line image is cleaned and mounted ready for scanning |
2 Prepare scanner | 2.1 Scanner is set correctly for line images to be scanned 2.2 Appropriate software is selected for scanning and processing line images 2.3 Adjustments are made to ensure quality of scanned image |
3 Scan and check image | 3.1 Appropriate software is applied to scan and process line images 3.2 Original line image is scanned for reproduction according to design specifications 3.3 Quality of scanned image is checked against job specifications and printing or reproduction requirements |
Evidence of the ability to:
use desktop flat-bed scanner and reproduce THREE line originals, ensuring quality of scanned image meets specified quality standards and final media requirements
locate and use task-relevant information from a variety of information sources
ensure underlying skill of scanning images are transferable across design and pre-press sectors
identify substrate for reproduction and ensure quality of scanned image is suitable for the identified printing processes.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe relevant printing processes and electronic media
identify scanning requirements
describe characteristics of a line original
outline factors that determine line scanning resolution
name controls that exist within the software for line scanning
name essential hardware specifications and software requirements for line scanning
outline specific software requirements to process and output the image
outline work health and safety (WHS) concerns of operating a scanner and standards that relate to working for periods of time on computers
list manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, and identify where are they kept and what information is included in these documents.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
