Copiscan 8000 Spectrum Operator Manual • Do not remove the feeder. Only qualified personnel should remove the feeder. NOTE: When the side panel of the scanner is opened, a safety interlock removes power from the transport circuitry before any hazardous parts are accessible. This interlock protects the user from the possibility of the transport running while the user panel is open.
Copiscan 8000 Spectrum Operator Manual 2. Operational Overview Figure 1. Copiscan 8000 Spectrum Scanner NOTE: This manual assumes that you have a duplex scanner. Separate procedures will be indicated for simplex scanners where procedures are different. The scanner uses internal cameras to capture and digitize both sides of a document in a single pass through its paper path, whether the image is color, grayscale, or bitonal (black and white).
Copiscan 8000 Spectrum Operator Manual The operator controls let you capture information from a wide variety of foreground/background and color/intensity combinations. As documents travel through the transport, they are guided by seven sets of transport rollers. Documents are delivered to the stacking surface on the exit tray, while the scanner maintains the original document feed sequence.
Copiscan 8000 Spectrum Operator Manual 2.1.1 Feeder When you wish to scan, place the stack of documents (or a single document) you want to scan on the scanner’s feeder. The feeder is made of stainless steel and plastic and protrudes at a slight angle from the front of the scanner. When the scanner receives a scan command from the application software running on your PC, the scanner takes one document at time from the stack into its transport system.
Copiscan 8000 Spectrum Operator Manual Rear of Scanner Components on the back of the scanner allow it to interface to a power source and to the host PC, enable power-up and power-down, and help cool the scanner during operation. The following figure illustrates the scanner’s rear panel and points out where its key components are located.
