Remove all other loose objects from the area that could be drawn into the machine. Take sufficient breaks to maintain mental alertness. Follow the recommended Kodak cleaning procedures. Do not use air, liquid or gas spray cleaners. These cleaners only displace the dust, dirt or debris to another location within the scanner, which could cause the scanner to malfunction.

Using the Scanner This chapter provides the following operational procedures: Turning on the scanner Document preparation Adjusting the input tray, side guides and output tray Scanning documents Feeding long documents Continuous and manual feeding Other functions, such as calibration, using the programmable keys, using multi-feed detection, setting the elevator level, etc.
Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that Document preparation represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is achieved when you scan documents within the recommended document specifications listed below.
For heavily damaged documents, a clear document protector can be used with the following limitations: – Manual feeding is recommended when using a clear document protector. – The document in the clear document protector must be fed under both feed module tires. –...
Maximum document When feeding batched documents, the maximum height of the batched batch height for documents is 10.2 cm (4 in.), approximately 1000 sheets of 75g (20 lb.) automatic feeding paper. The elevator tray can be set to accommodate 25-, 250- 500-, 750- 1000-document stacks.
Different paper types stack differently. The output tray can be set with Adjusting the output either the front or the rear higher for best stacking. tray To angle the output tray so the back of the output tray is higher: 1.
Before you scan documents, be sure the menu bar is displayed on the Scanning documents Operator Control Panel. Operator Control panel Documents must be fed under both feed module tires. For faster throughput, feed documents into the elevator tray in landscape orientation (longer side as the leading edge).
The feeder accommodates documents up to 76.2 cm (30 in.) in length. To Loading long feed documents longer than 30.5 cm (12 inches): documents in the feeder Pull out the document extenders. Document extenders 2. Place the documents in the elevator tray. NOTE: Operator assistance is required when feeding documents longer than 43.2 cm (17 in.).
To feed thick documents: Feeding thick documents 1. Press and hold the gap release lever this provides more clearance to ease document feeding. Gap release lever 2. Push the envelope/thick document into the transport. If more than one document is to be scanned, feed them into the transport one at a time. 3.
Operator Control Panel Functions There are a variety of functions available from the Operator Control Panel. This chapter provides procedures and information for: Enabling and disabling the scanner Control Panel functions overview Navigating through the functions on the Control Panel menu Accessing information Lowering the elevator tray Using the Diagnostics Settings menu...

Using the Settings The Menu icon displays the Diagnostics Settings menu. menu Exit Diagnostics Settings The following Settings functions are available: Changing the Alarm Volume Changing the Display Contrast Changing the SCSI ID Changing the SCSI Termination Setting the Elevator Position This setting allows you to adjust the volume of the alarm from 0 to 4.
Changing the SCSI ID should not be changed unless directed to do so by your integrator or Kodak Field Representative. If the SCSI ID has been changed, you must reboot the scanner. After the scanner has been powered up and completed the self-test, reboot the host PC.
The SCSI termination should not be changed unless directed to do so by your integrator or Kodak Field Representative. To change the SCSI termination: 1. Select the Diagnostics Settings menu icon.
4. Select Return. SCSI termination : 0 5. Use the up and down arrows to select the desired SCSI termination setting. 6. Select Return. 7. Turn the scanner off.
