Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to scan images, including line-art, greyscale and colour originals.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Mount original copy
  • 1.1. The original image is scaled and identified according to job specifications
  • 1.2. Work surfaces are cleaned and prepared to ensure the images are dust free
  • 1.3. The original image is mounted according to enterprise procedures
  • 1.4. Occupational health and safety (OHS) issues are identified and correct practices are used if any solvents are applied
2. Set up scanner
  • 2.1. The scanner is set up and calibrated according to specifications
  • 2.2. Data from copy evaluation and aim points to suit the original are entered correctly onto the scanner according to specifications
  • 2.3. The scanner software or plug-in is selected
3. Produce images
  • 3.1. The medium being scanned is selected according to job specifications
  • 3.2. The disk capacity is checked where appropriate to ensure sufficiency for the job
  • 3.3. The processor is set and checked according to job specifications
  • 3.4. Images are scanned as required according to job specifications
  • 3.5. The scanned images are checked for conformance to the technical specifications of the job and scan adjustments made if necessary

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
scan images that meet specified quality and technical standards for reproduction and final end use
find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
use a medium to high-end full colour digital device to reproduce one line-art, one greyscale, one colour transparency (positive), one colour reflective, one negative and one re-screen.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
that conditions are typical ambient conditions found in the workplace
access to relevant facilities, equipment and materials used for digital printing and image scanning
use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate
practical demonstration by the candidate in scanning images that meet the technical specifications of the job.

Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other digital production units relevant to the workplace and job role is recommended.
For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance.
