Internal components Rollers Imaging guides Ink blotter strips Separation roller Pre-separation pad Separation roller — provides smooth document feeding of various sizes and textures one document at a time. Ink blotter strips — collects residue from the Enhanced Printer. Imaging guides — the scanner has an upper and lower imaging guide. It is important to keep the imaging guides clean to obtain optimum image quality.
Page 16
Sensors — the scanner has 3 (ultrasonic) multi-feed detection sensors, 1 (optical) paper path sensor and 1 (optical) paper present sensor. These sensors detect the presence of documents in the elevator tray and documents in the paper path during feeding and imaging.
3 Using the Scanner This chapter provides the following operational procedures: • Turning on/off the scanner • Starting, stopping, pausing and resuming the scanner • Document preparation • Adjusting the side guides and output tray • Scanning documents • Feeding long documents •...
Manually pausing While scanning documents: and resuming the • Press the Stop/Pause button on the scanner once to pause scanner scanning. NOTE: Your application may configure the scanner with a transport timeout function which signals an End of Job. If you do not start/ resume scanning before the timeout expires, you cannot continue scanning without restarting the job from the host application.
Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is achieved when scanning documents within the recommended document specifications listed below.
Maximum Document Size: 30.5 x 86 cm (12 x 34 in.). Documents larger than 43 cm (17 in.) require operator assistance. NOTE: The maximum document size for the i700 Series Scanners is 40 inches (1016 mm). Paper inks: All inks on the paper must be dry before scanning is started.
Locking the side Side guides may be locked into position after they are adjusted. This may be helpful when the placement of print strings is important. guides If you want to lock the side guides into position, move any documents which may be in the input tray and move the locking switch into the locked position.
Adjusting the front of To raise the front of the output tray: the output tray 1. Lift the front of the output tray. 2. Swing the height adjustment wire out from underneath the output tray and insert it into the groove on the printer access cover. 3.
Adjusting the output An output tray document extender is available for scanning documents from 43 cm (17 in.) to 86 cm (34 in.). Contact your Kodak Field tray for documents Engineer (1-800-3KODAK3) to order the document extender (Part No. from 43 cm (17 in.) to 5E4754).
Adjusting the The short document tray is available for scanning smaller documents. This tray is standard with the Kodak i700 Series Scanners. If you have optional short a Kodak i600 Series Scanner, the short document tray can be ordered document tray from Parts Services.
2. Position the stack of the documents, face up in the elevator tray so it covers the paper present sensor. NOTE: For Kodak i700 Series Scanners, Firmware Version 2.1.1 (or higher): When the i700 Series Scanner is powered-on and paper is added to the elevator tray, the elevator will rise to the “ready to feed”...
Continuous feeding Continuous feeding can be used when you want to scan small batches of documents (less than 25). When the scanner is configured for continuous feeding, the elevator tray is raised to a position where approximately 25 documents can be loaded.
Feeding documents The gap release lever allows you to manually adjust the space between the feed module and separation roller for documents that require that require special special handling; i.e. documents that are badly torn. If you are in doubt handling about whether a damaged document can be transported through the scanner, use the gap release lever and manually feed the document.
