Introduction; How This Manual Is Organized - Bell and Howell Copiscan 8000 Plus Series Operator's Manual

1. Introduction

The Copiscan 8000 Plus Series scanner is designed to handle heavy workloads and harsh
production environments. The scanner requires minimal operator adjustments, has self-
calibrating cameras and self-adjusting lamps, as well as a self-diagnostic exam at start up.
Additionally, there are only a few consumables with this scanner. The exit tray design
ensures that document output is sequenced the same as the input, resulting in efficient,
clean scanning. With easy access to entire paper path, the Adaptive Contrast
Enhancement (ACE) feature, and the multifeed detector, the Copiscan 8000 Plus Series
scanner is the best choice for document scanning.
This operator manual introduces and illustrates your scanner. It provides information
about how to use the scanner under normal conditions, how to use it under less than
optimal conditions, and how to do routine maintenance tasks.
The book is organized into chapters that detail the scanner itself and tell you how to do
the following:
• Safely operate the scanner
• Start, run, and stop the scanner
• Clear jams, etc.
• Perform daily maintenance tasks
• Find commonly used definitions for terms used at the scanner
Before operating and/or servicing your scanner, please read this manual carefully. If you
