Introduction; Supplies And Consumables - Kodak i4000 Series Manual

Kodak offers supplies and consumables for all Kodak Scanners. For optimal feeder performance and image quality,
Kodak recommends using professional cleaning materials and consumable items, such as:
•
Roller cleaning pads
•
Transport cleaning sheets
•
Staticide wipes
• Calibration targets
• Feeder and Separation rollers
• Lamps
• Ink cartridges
• Imaging guides
Usage figures of supplies and consumables are not guaranteed. Customer-operating environments,
document type, the condition of the documents being scanned, and not following the recommended
cleaning and replacement procedures, can cause the life of the consumables to vary.
This document contains catalog numbers and descriptions for supplies and consumables that are used with Kodak
Scanners. The guidelines specified in this document are based upon Kodak's testing.
•
Calibration Target: a calibration target will last longer if the recommended maintenance of the scanner is
followed. Variables such as paper types (i.e., carbonless paper), dirty feed rollers, which can transfer debris on
the target, etc. will shorten the usage of the calibration target. Always clean your scanner before calibrating.
• Imaging Guides: imaging guides may need to be replaced if you notice degrading image quality or if something
happens to the white patch on the imaging guide.
−
Degrading image quality: (i.e., a consistent streak in most/all images that does not disappear after cleaning
the imaging guides). Visually inspect the imaging guides to see if they are heavily scratched. If so, the
imaging guides may need to be replaced.
−
White patch: White patches are not on all imaging guides. The i800, i1800, i700, i600, i1400, i200, i100,
4500, 3590C Scanners and 5000/7000 Series Scanners include a white patch. Visually inspect the white
patch and look for signs of aging (discoloration of the patch). If the patch shows discoloration, replace the
white patch or call Service.
• Tires: Kodak Scanners use replaceable tires that can feed a wide range of document types, sizes and thicknesses.
Tire life and performance will vary based on the customer's document set, the frequency of cleaning the transport and
tires, and following the recommended schedule for changing tires. You should change the tires if you notice an
increase in multiple feeds, stoppages, or a decrease in feeder performance that is not resolved by following the
cleaning procedures.
