Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Prepare line image for scanning
  2. Prepare scanner
  3. Scan and check image

Performance Evidence

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.


Knowledge Evidence

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.
