5.4.2 Imprinter Operation

The factory-installed imprinter option includes a circuit board that controls an ink-jet
print head. This allows for front page pre-scan imprinting of a string of alphanumeric
characters on documents that are fed into the scanner transport.
Imprinting documents assists your process by creating an audit trail. The imprinter can
run without any significant slowdown in the scanning process.
The various imprinter attributes can be controlled from the scanner control panel or from
the host computer if supported by your software application. It can imprint a string of
characters for each page one at a time or imprint a repeating character string with an
automatically incrementing suffix on each page that is scanned.
The string of characters is printed one at a time in the direction of scanning. The print
head is stationary and prints as the paper passes under it. The printed character string's
position from the leading edge of each document is adjustable. The side-to-side position
of the printing is controlled by the operator who can physically position the print head in
one of four different locations. Each of the four locations has limited room to "fine tune"
the position of the imprint string.

5.4.2.1 Imprinter Control

The imprinter can be controlled by either the scanner control panel or by the host
software application.
NOTE:
If the host software application supports the imprinter, its commands will always
override the commands established at the scanner control panel. Refer to your software
documentation for guidance on controlling the imprinter from the host.
