When you are raising or lowering the workspace table, be sure that there is nothing close to the scanner that would interfere with the upward and downward movement (e.g., chair, table, etc.).
Feeding documents The scanner has three multi-feed detection sensors that can be independently enabled or disabled. When multi-feed detection is using multi-feed enabled, adjust the side guides so the documents fully cover at least detection one sensor. If the document partially covers a sensor, false multi-feeds may occur.
1. Position the document you want to feed in the input elevator so that the paper present sensor is covered. 2. Touch Scan on the touchscreen. NOTE: The Kodak Manual Feeder Accessory is also available provides a larger surface for manual feeding. See Appendix A, Accessories for more information.
Feeding documents The gap release button allows you to manually adjust the space between the feed module and separation roller for documents that that require special require special handling; e.g., documents that are badly torn. If you are handling in doubt about whether a damaged document can be transported through the scanner, use the gap release button and manually feed the document.
• Image Addressing, Patch Reading and Batch functionality are only available for the Kodak i1860 Scanner. Idle screen — depending on whether image addressing is enabled or disabled or not available, the Idle screen will appear differently.
In addition from Idle mode, you can setup or change scanner configuration settings, and enable or disable imaging addressing by using the Settings screen. The Settings screen allows you to set or change the following options: • Volume • Tones •...
Changing the alarm volume The Volume screen allows you to adjust the volume of the alarm from a Very High volume (loudest) to a Low volume (quietest) or to Off (no sound). The default is Low. 1. Touch Volume on the Settings screen to display the Volume screen. 2.
Selecting the tone You can select the tone you want the scanner to make when a particular scanner condition is encountered such as, document jam or multi-feed, etc. 1. Touch Tone Select to display the Tones screen. 2. Select the event (e.g., Warning, Jam, etc.) that you want a tone to be set for.
Selecting a language The Kodak i1800 Series Scanners support several languages. Select the language you want the information on the touchscreen to be displayed in. 1. Touch Language to display the Language screen. 2. Touch the desired language. The screen will automatically be updated in the language of choice.
Enabling/disabling image An image address is a unique identifier assigned to each individual addressing (for i1860 document and may contain up to 30 characters (up to a maximum of 27 Scanner only) characters, plus 3 delimiters). An Image Address template is set up using the TWAIN Data source or ISIS Driver.
Page 40
If you change the status of the image address, the following message will be displayed. 3. Touch Yes to change the image address status and restart the system, otherwise click Close. 4. Restart the scanner. NOTE: Disabling image addressing also disables the Patch Readers and batching.
Calibrating the scanner The Kodak i1800 Series Scanners allow you to perform an Image calibration (black-and-white, color, grayscale) and UDDS calibration (multi-feed detection). Calibration optimizes your scanner to achieve the best image quality and feeding performance. Your scanner is properly calibrated when you purchase it, therefore, frequent calibration is not necessary or recommended.
