    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).

  • Page 13: Front Of The Scanner

    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.

  • Page 14: Operator Controls

    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.
