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). This digital information is sent via the host PC to various storage media,
including magnetic and optical.
NOTE:
Only the Spectrum 8125DC, 8100DC, 8080DC, and 8080SC models scan in color. If
you purchased a bitonal/grayscale only Spectrum scanner, you may purchase a color
upgrade at any time. Please visit www.bbhscanners.com for details.
The scanner can scan both "controlled" and "uncontrolled" document types. Controlled
documents, like standard forms, are uniform in size and do not require a lot of
preparation such as sorting or removal of staples. Uncontrolled documents (invoices,
shipping documents, loan applications, photographs, carbon copies, etc.) are rarely
uniform. The scanner minimizes prep work by handling both controlled and uncontrolled
documents.
The scanner adjusts itself to accommodate the size, volume, condition, and skew angle of
each document. The front of the scanner houses a control panel containing 13 keys, a
two-line status message, and diagnostic operator interface display. Operation of the
controls and the meaning of the codes and messages are explained later in this manual.
