3 Operating the Scanner

Overview
A-61070 September 1999
This chapter provides instructions for selecting modes, image level
settings and feeding documents using the semi-automatic feeder and
the automatic feeder.
The scanning process consists of the following steps:
1. Prepare the scanner for operation (refer to Chapter 2, Getting
Started for more information).
2. Select an application mode for the application.
3. Select the appropriate operating values required for the application
on the host computer.
4. Press the Run key.
5. Feed documents into the transport (refer to "Feeding Documents
using the semi-automatic (or automatic) feeder" later in this
chapter).
The scanner assigns a sequential ID number, the document
image level and image address.
The document is scanned.
The document image header is created.
The host computer initiates transfer of the document image
header and document image to the host system for storage on
magnetic or optical disk media.
Documents are deposited in the exit hopper, face down, in the
order in which they were fed into the transport.
6. Press Stop to disable the transport after the last document has
been scanned or press End to alert the host computer that the
batch or job has ended.
NOTE: If Stop or End is pressed while scanning a stack of
documents, the feeder will stop. Any documents in the
transport system will be scanned and deposited face down in
the exit tray before the transport system is disabled.
