Manually pausing
and resuming the
scanner

While scanning documents:
• Press the Stop/Pause button on the scanner once to pause
scanning.
NOTE: Your application may configure the scanner with a transport
timeout function which signals an End of Job. If you do not start/
resume scanning before the timeout expires, you cannot
continue scanning without restarting the job from the host
application.
• Press the Start/Resume button on the scanner to restart scanning
after it has been paused.

Stop/Pause
button
Start/Resume
button

Automatically
pausing and
resuming the
scanner

During scanning the scanner monitors its own internal image buffer
memory. In order to prevent overwriting images before the host
computer can retrieve them, the scanner will automatically pause the
feeder while waiting for the host computer to read existing images.

Manually ending
scanning

After feeding the last document to be scanned, you can end scanning
by pressing the Stop/Pause button on the scanner twice. An end of job
message will be sent to your host application.

The scanner automatically resumes scanning by restarting the feeder
once image buffer memory is cleared. To avoid this situation be sure
your host computer meets the minimum system requirements as
referred to in Chapter 2.

You cannot continue scanning without restarting the job from the host
application.

A-61500 April 2007

Document
preparation

Before you begin scanning documents, make certain the documents
can be fed through the scanner easily.
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so
the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under
the feed module; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into
the scanner one at a time.
• Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner and
documents. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.
• Documents with missing corners, perforated edges, hole punches in
the margins, irregular and curled edges, torn, damaged, or crushed
pages can be transported successfully through the scanner.
However, no scanner can transport every possible type of damaged
paper. If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document can
be transported through the scanner, place the document in a clear
protective sleeve with the lead edge of the document aligned with the
folded edge of the sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a
time, folded edge first, while using the gap release lever. Ultrasonic
multi-feed detection is not recommended when using plastic sleeves.
NOTE: When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the
elevator tray side guides must be aligned to accommodate the
width of the sleeve.
Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that
represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most
common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is
achieved when scanning documents within the recommended
document specifications listed below. Scanning documents outside of
these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of scanner
reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.
Materials:
• Virgin, recycled and photographic papers
• Clear protective sleeves meeting the size and thickness
requirements in this section
Paper Types: Bond, Laser, Inkjet, Offset
Paper Weights: The elevator tray handles a broad range of paper
weights from 45 to 200 g/m2 (12 to 110 lb.). The Kodak Feeder Kit for
Ultra Lightweight Paper can handle paper weights from 25 to 75 g/m2
(7 to 20 lbs).
Minimum Document Size: 6.4 x 6.4 cm (2.5 x 2.5 in.). Documents as
small as 5 cm (2 in.) (i.e. business cards) can be center-fed, in portrait
orientation one at a time.

A-61500 April 2007

3-3

Maximum Document Size: 30.5 x 86 cm (12 x 34 in.). Documents
larger than 43 cm (17 in.) require operator assistance.
Paper inks: All inks on the paper must be dry before scanning is
started. This includes: Standard offset printing, Inkjet printer, Thermal
transfer, Handwriting inks.
Correction Fluids: Liquid Paper®, Tipp-Ex®, Wite-out®, and other
similar correction fluids.
Feeder Capacity: The elevator tray can hold up to 500 sheets of
75 g/m2 (20 lb.) paper.

Adjusting the side
guides and end stop

Feeding documents
using multi-feed
detection

The scanner has three multi-feed detection sensors. When Multi-feed
detection is enabled, adjust the side guides so the documents fully
cover at least one sensor. If the document partially covers a sensor,
false multi-feeds may occur.

Automatic feeding

To scan a batch of documents follow the guidelines for size, type,
quantity, etc., outlined in the “Document preparation” section.
For faster throughput, place documents into the elevator tray in
landscape orientation (longer side as the leading edge).
IMPORTANT: Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the
scanner. Remove all staples and paper clips before
scanning.
1. Align the leading edges of the stacked documents.
2. Position the stack of the documents, face up in the elevator tray so it
covers the paper present sensor.

3. Adjust the elevator tray side guides.
4. Adjust the output tray position, if necessary.
5. Adjust the output tray end stop, if necessary.
Depending on how your scanner is set up, your documents will
automatically start scanning, or you may need to press the Start/
Resume button to begin scanning.

Continuous feeding

Continuous feeding can be used when you want to scan small batches
of documents (less than 25).
When the scanner is configured for continuous feeding, the elevator
tray is raised to a position where approximately 25 documents can be
loaded. The elevator tray will remain in this position to allow more
documents to be loaded to the bottom of the stack.
To continuously feed documents, follow Steps 1 through 5 above. As
the documents are being scanned, you can continuously add a batch of
documents to the bottom of the stack.
NOTE: Depending on how your scanner is configured, the transport will
stop when the Transport Timeout has been reached.

4 The Enhanced Printer
This chapter provides instructions for using the Enhanced Printer. The
following information and procedures can be found in this chapter:
• Overview information about the Enhanced Printer, including
information about print fields and printer specifications.
• Setting horizontal printer positions.
• Replacing the ink cartridge and ink blotter strips.
NOTE: More detailed information on the Enhanced Printer can be found
in the Image Processing Guide, A-61504.

Overview

The Kodak i600 Series Scanners include a factory-installed, preconfigured front printer. The printer operates at full scanner speed. The
printer can add a date, time, document sequential counter, and custom
messages.
The printer is unique in that the document print string can be configured
to include both literal (static) information (i.e., information that stays the
same for each document, such as batch name or operator) and
dynamic information (i.e., information that may change for each page
scanned, such as the document sequential counter). The capture
software application controls static fields; any information that the
software allows you to enter can be sent to the printer.
All printer controls and functions are accessible through the ISIS Driver
or TWAIN Data source. Printing must be enabled or disabled for each
scan session.
NOTES:
• Clean the scanner’s paper path components daily when using the
printer.
• You cannot print on documents that are smaller than 10 cm (4 in.).
• The ink cartridge must be installed prior to powering on the scanner,
or it could result in errors when printing is attempted.

depending upon paper types, environment and cleanliness. Nominal
tire life will be approximately 250,000 documents; results will vary.
Degradation of feeder performance, multiple feeds, stoppages, etc.
indicate a need to change tires. Change all the tires on the feed
module and separation roller at the same time.
• Feed Module and Separation Roller — it is recommended that you
install a new feed module and separation roller approximately every
4th tire change. Install a new feed module and separation roller at the
same time.
• Pre-separation Pad — it is recommended that you change the preseparation pad approximately every 250,000 documents.
