Introduction This manual describes how to install the 5000i scanner. The scanner is typically used with a computer, a color monitor, a printer, and can be connected to a server as part of a scanning network system. This guide is intended for use by NCS Pearson-trained field engineers. It is assumed that the field engineers have had some training or experience in computer setup and installation, scanners and scanning technology, and networks.
Overview of the Scanner{ XE "Scanner, 5000i:Overview" } The 5000i is a device that captures the image{ XE "Image capture" \i } of a form. It sends that image to a host computer for analysis. Figure 1-1 illustrates the parts of the scanner.
The output hopper height adjustment switch { XE "Output hopper height adjustment switch" }adjusts the height at which the hopper halts. Refer to the Operator's Guide for the 5000i Scanner for instructions on making these adjustments.
Figure 1 – 2: Scanner Standalone Configuration Customer Support When you call NCS Pearson Customer Support{ XE "Scanner, 5000i:Customer Support" } { XE "Customer Support" }for either hardware or software technical support, an operator will ask you to describe your problem. The operator will then relay information regarding your problem to a support analyst who will call you back as soon as possible.
Note all error messages that appear on your computer's screen. Write down any error messages that are related to your problem. • Have a description of your software problem ready. Include the software registration number (located on the software registration card). Page 4 5000i Scanner Installation Guide...
2. Scanner Installation This chapter describes how to set up and install the standalone 5000i scanner{ XE "Installation:Scanner" },{ XE "Scanner installation:Introduction" } the computer, the monitor, and the mouse. The 5000i scanner system consists of the following { XE "Scanner installation:Components"...
1. Check the installation site { XE "Check the installation site" }{ XE "Installation site:verify readiness" }to verify that it is ready for setup and installation of the 5000i scanner with its computer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. 2. Install the scanner.

Installing the Scanner The 5000i scanner is delivered to the customer shrink-wrapped and up-right on its own four casters. Roll the scanner to its permanent location. Unpacking the Scanner To unpack { XE "Scanner installation:Unpacking" }{ XE "Unpacking the scanner, procedure" \t "See"...
Checking the Voltage{ XE "Scanner installation:Check the voltage" } Before you plug the 5000i scanner into the designated wall outlet, the following power and grounding requirements must be met and maintained to ensure optimum performance of the scanner and its peripherals. To verify that the power and grounding requirements have been met, refer to the following topics: Power Noise, Grounding, and Site Power Wiring{ XE "Wiring"...
Page 23
Dedicated Ground A dedicated isolated/insulated ground { XE "Dedicated ground specifications" }for the 5000i system must be provided. If possible, route a dedicated ground conductor { XE "Conductor:Ground, dedicated" }between the main power panel and the 5000i system branch circuit (with the dedicated feeder). If a dedicated ground conductor is not feasible, Chapter 2.
Page 24
In addition, bond one end of a heavy gauge wire or copper braid to the isolated ground bus in the branch circuit panel serving the 5000i system. Weld the other end of this wire or braid to the nearest vertical steel structural member.
Page 25
"Conductor:Neutral" }{ XE "Neutral conductor" \t "See Conductor, neutral" } and the isolated ground conductor must be less than 2.1 ohms. With circuit power on and all 5000i system components unplugged, the voltage between the circuit neutral conductor and the isolated ground conductor must be less than 0.6 VAC.
Scanner Electrical Dedicate one 15 amp (120 VAC) or 7.5 amp (220 VAC) circuit to each Connections 5000i scanner at the site. All may be served from the same branch panel, provided its rated capacity is not exceeded. Electrical Outlets{ XE All 120V outlets for the 5000i scanner should be Hubble IG-5362 or "Electrical outlet"...
