If you set it to autofocus, it will do this before each scan. It does
this by looking at your target and then tries to optimize the
contrast. If it cannot find enough contrast, the defualt value from
the focus calibration is used. According to the manual it is
particularly useful if an image is mounted with the emulsion side away
from the drum so it would appear that the autofoucus compensates for
any differences in film. Does this answer you question?
You can also focus manually, just change the focus elevation after
having done the initial focus calibration.
