This course is designed to provide you with a thorough understanding of the operation and care of your new state-of-the-art, high-speed document scanner. All new Kodak i1800 Series Scanners include...
- Page 3 The operation of your site’s particular scanning application and procedures will not be covered as part of this training. The Kodak i1800 Series Scanner is supported by a number of different scanning applications that have been developed by many companies around the world. We recommend that you request software and image processing training from the original software vendor who knows these products best.
- Page 4 Installation Planning Guide Publication A-61578: A PDF version, in English only, is available from a Kodak FE or RTC (Regional Technical Coordinator). This guide should have been provided to your site well before the installation date and should have been used as a guide for planning for the installation day.
- Page 5 User’s Guide or other publications, the website provides PDF files that can be easily downloaded. Create a folder on the scanner’s host PC desktop called “Kodak Scanner Manuals” and copy these files from the Kodak i1800 Series Scanner Firmware, Drivers and Users Guide CD into that folder so they will be at the operator’s fingertips if needed.
- Page 6 You will now have a demonstration of the scanner using the Count Only mode and the instructor will point out the basic components of the Kodak i1800 Series Scanner. There are two power switches, but the main power switch on the back of the scanner will rarely be used.
- Page 7 DOCUMENT JOURNEY THROUGH THE TRANSPORT Now that you have experienced the scanner from the operator’s point of view we will walk you through the scanner from the document’s point of view. We will follow the path of a document from its start in the input elevator, to separation from the stack, to ultrasonic double-feed detection, to rear side imaging, then front side imaging and finally output restacking.
- Page 8 Stage five: Post-imaging document transportation - Rear ink blotters; show the location and how to replace them. Stage six: Output re-stacking - Review the output tray: side guides and end stop. Review the various positions that the output tray can be placed in using the wire legs on the bottom of the tray. Also mention the long document wire bail and the short document stacker.
- Page 9 REPLACEMENT OF CONSUMABLES In this section the instructor will identify all the consumables (parts of the scanner that will wear out during normal use) and instruct you on the proper procedures for the replacement of these items. Just as changing the oil and replacing worn tires on your car is necessary to keep it running properly, the timely replacement of the scanner’s consumables is critical to its performance.
- Page 10 Tip: Suggest that the customer have a feed module and separation roller with new tires installed ready to go. The customer could then change the feed module and separation rollers quickly and avoid down-time. The tires can be changed on the feed module and separation roller off line.
- Page 11 (which are almost always caused by dust on the imaging components of the scanner). A Kodak recommended cleaning frequency schedule will be covered that, if followed, should prevent any unnecessary interruptions in scanning or service calls due to problems related to improper maintenance.
- Page 12 853 5981 169 0783 CALIBRATION This topic will review the Image and UDDS calibration needs of the i1800 Series Scanner. Image Calibration The scanner was designed to operate for hundreds of hours before image re-calibration is required. Image calibration is only required to compensate for the change of light intensity from the lamps over time.
- Page 13 WHAT TYPE OF SCANNING DOES YOUR SITE DO? You should now have a solid understanding of the basic operation of the scanner. The following topics (Printing / Touchsceen / Accessories) deal with operations that will vary depending on the type of scanning that is being performed. If the instructor does not yet have an understanding of the different types of scanning that you expect to perform, the instructor will ask you about your scanning jobs so that he/she may customize the following topics: Does your site intend to use image addressing?
- Page 14 BASIC PRINTING If your site is will be using the Enhanced Printer the replacement and maintenance will be an important part of operating the scanner. Skip this section if your site does not currently print and does not plan to print on your documents in the future.
- Page 15 Show replacement of the ink cartridge using the front side printer. Show location of horizontal print positions for front and rear printing. Also note that the location of the side guides and the justification of the documents in the input tray will determine the location of the printing on the page.
- Page 16 There is a Print Test function available on the touch screen of the scanner. This test will print a ‘ladder’ target where each vertical line is printed by one of the jets in the print head. If a line is missing, one of the jets is not working. Dabbing the print head with a Staticide wipe will often open clogged jets.
- Page 17 OVERVIEW OF ACCESSORIES This section covers the accessories that are available for the i1800 Series Scanner. The scanning needs of your site may require the use of all or none of these accessories, depending on the type of documents that you will be scanning and your printing requirements.
- Page 18 If your site is scanning documents longer than 17 inches, ask your Field Engineer to provide up to two of these extension wires (one for the input tray and one for the output tray) at no charge. If more than two are required, they may be purchased though Kodak Parts Services.
- Page 19 These extensions attach to the input and/or output trays to help support longer documents as they are fed into the transport and exit the transport. Three sizes are available: Part No. Description Input Output tray Output tray Actual Notes tray (normal (forward Bail...
- Page 20 OCP AND TOUCHSCREEN OVERVIEW In order to make the Kodak i1800 Series Scanner as easy to use as possible it was designed with a full color touchscreen. All of the operator functions of the scanner are available (in several languages) though the Operator Control Panel (OCP). This section describes the use and maintenance of the OCP.
- Page 21 - Viewing the Operator Log This log is reset whenever the scanner is powered off but the messages are still available through the internal scanner log visible though SVT (Scan Validation Tool) Log messages with a time stamp of 12:00:00 are normal when first powering on the scanner.
- Page 22 ENABLED screen Before you start scanning, the host scanning software must set up the scan job in the scanner. After the scanner is set up, the host software can either automatically start scanning or can have the scanner wait until scanning is started by the operator. If auto-start scanning is enabled, and there is paper in the input tray, the scanner will automatically start feeding paper.
- Page 23 SCANNING screen When the scanner is feeding paper, the touchscreen shows the Scanning screen. There may be up to three function buttons available on this screen. The host computer scanning software determines the function buttons that are displayed. There is always a Pause button available that can be used to stop the documents from feeding into the scanner.

- Page 27 Multifeed Messages and Alarms The i1800 Series Scanner has three ultrasonic multifeed detectors in the transport. These sensors use sound waves to determine if two or more documents go through the transport at the same time.
- Page 28 There are two situations that can interrupt scanning that are related to multifeed messages. True Multifeed alarms: true multifeeds are experienced when more than one document is fed at a time. The following is a list of common causes and resolutions for this problem.
- Page 29 - The pre-separation pad is not providing enough friction. The pre-separation pads on the i1800 Series Scanner come with a piece of slippery yellow tape covering the lower portion of the pad. This tape was added to prevent documents from stubbing on the lower portion of the pad and not entering the feeder.
- Page 30 The i1800 Series Scanner was designed to minimize this problem but it can still occur if the image path is obstructed.
- Page 31 Large black borders on images or images look too small in the viewer. The i1800 Series Scanner is normally setup to ‘Automatically Detect and Straighten’ documents as they are being scanned. Your software may call this feature ‘Auto-crop and De-skew’...
- Page 32 If the black backgrounds of the scanner become scratched or dirty, so that they reflect light, then the Automatic Detect and Straighten feature of the scanner may incorrectly identify the edge of the page and leave a large black border on one side of the document.
