Scanner Shadows

When paper targets are scanned, the thickness of the target paper around the bullet hole can cast a shadow. Left unchecked, this shadow can cause scoring errors. However, when using a supported Canon scanner Orion knows about the shadow and adjusts for it during the scoring process.

Shadows appear either at the top of the bullet hole, the bottom of the bullet hole, or for some scanners, none at all.

Scanner Shadows with Supported Canon Scanners

When scanning targets with a supported Canon scanner, Orion automatically adjusts based on the type of scanner. The user does not need to make any adjustments. The following table is included for information purposes only.

Setting Scanner Shadows for Non-Supported Scanners

If you are scanning targets with a non-supported scanner, you should adjust Orion's Scanner Shadow settings manually, according to the physical characteristics of your scanner.

To do so, from the menu bar, click on Tools -> Scanner Shadows.
