Scanning Mat Brother CAMATS24 12 x 24 – scanning mat for flatbed and sheet-fed scanners, 12×24 inches

Brother CAMATS24 12 x 24 scanning mat is an accessory designed to provide a stable, flat surface for controlled scanning of originals up to 12 × 24 inches. The mat helps keep documents, photographs, blueprints and other media flat and positioned for consistent capture on flatbed and sheet-fed scanners. It is intended to improve alignment and repeatability during batch jobs and archival digitization, fitting into Brother scanning workflows where a larger target area is required.

Advantages

The scanning mat reduces surface glare and movement of originals during scanning, enabling more accurate framing and reduced need for post-scan cropping. Its flat, non-reflective surface supports fragile or curled items without direct handling, and the defined 12 × 24 inch active area simplifies placement of large documents. The mat is lightweight and easy to place and remove, making it practical for repeated scanning tasks and mixed media projects.

How to use

Place the Brother CAMATS24 mat on the scanner bed and align it with the scanner's registration edges according to the scanner's user guide. Position the original document or media within the 12 × 24 inch active area, ensuring edges are straight and the item lies flat against the mat. Close the scanner lid or engage the feeder as required by the scanner model, then proceed with the normal scanning software settings. For batch scanning, use the mat to repeatably position each item in the same area to ensure consistent framing across multiple scans.

Usage recommendations

Handle the mat with clean hands and keep it free of dust or adhesive residue to avoid marks on originals; when scanning fragile materials, support items while placing them on the mat and avoid excessive pressure. Follow your scanner manufacturer's instructions for alignment and any model-specific placement guidance to achieve optimal image quality.
