3 Using the Scanner

This chapter provides the following operational procedures:

• Turning on/off the scanner

• Starting, stopping, pausing and resuming the scanner

• Document preparation

• Adjusting the side guides and output tray

• Scanning documents

• Feeding long documents

• Automatic, continuous and manual feeding

• Calibration

Turning the scanner

on and off

• Press the button on the scanner’s lower right-side (I) to power it up.

• Press the button on the scanner’s lower right-side (O) to power it

down.

After you power up the scanner, wait until for it to complete self-test.

When completed, the top green indicator light will remain on and

constant. If this does not occur, refer to Chapter 6, “Indicator lights” for

more information.

IMPORTANT: Always power up the scanner to its ready state before

powering up or restarting the host computer.

Starting and stopping

scanning

Scanning is controlled by integration software developed for your

application. To start and stop scanning, refer to the documentation

provided with your integration software.

If your application does not automatically start the scanner transport,

begin the scanning process by pressing the Start/Resume button on

the scanner.

NOTE: Before you start scanning, make sure the scanner is ready for

operation, which is indicated by the top green indicator light

being on and constant.

3-2 A-61500 April 2007

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.

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.

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.

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.

You cannot continue scanning without restarting the job from the host

application.

A-61500 April 2007 3-3

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.

3-4 A-61500 April 2007

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

To accommodate multiple applications with variable feeding

requirements, the side guides can be adjusted for right-, left- or center-

edge feeding. The side guides can be moved together or independently

to achieve offset feeding.

1. Pull the side guides all the way out and then push them together

(toward the center) to reset or center them.

2. Open the side guides slightly wider than the documents you will be

feeding.

3. Adjust the output tray end stop to slightly longer than the longest

document being fed in a batch.

4. Place the documents in the elevator tray.

5. Adjust the side guides to fit the documents.

A-61500 April 2007 3-9

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.

3-10 A-61500 April 2007

Manual feeding To manually feed documents:

1. Position the document you want to feed in the elevator tray so that

the paper present sensor is covered.

2. Press Start/Resume.

Feeding documents

handling

The gap release lever allows you to manually adjust the space between

the feed module and separation roller for documents that require

special handling; i.e. documents that are badly torn. If you are in doubt

about whether a damaged document can be transported through the

scanner, use the gap release lever and manually feed the document.

Using the scanner in continuous feed mode is recommended when

handling special documents.

1. Press and hold the gap release lever — this provides clearance to

ease document feeding.

2. Push the document into the elevator tray. If more than one

document is to be scanned, feed them one at a time.

3. After the document(s) has been fed, release the gap release lever.

A-61500 April 2007 3-11

Calibrating the

scanner

There are two types of calibration that can be performed on the i600

Series Scanners: Image calibration and Ultrasonics calibration.

•Image calibration: optimizes the optical system in your scanner in

order to achieve the best overall quality of scanned images. Frequent

calibration is not needed or recommended.

IMPORTANT: If the White Background Accessory is installed, it must be

replaced with the black background strip, and the

scanner must be rebooted prior to calibration.

•Ultrasonics calibration: ensures that the ultrasonics system that

detects multi-feeds and document edges is properly adjusted for best

performance. Frequent calibration is not needed or recommended.

Image calibration Use the calibration target provided with your scanner. Be sure to use a

good, clean calibration target. Additional calibration targets can be

ordered. See Chapter 5, “Supplies and accessories” for ordering

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, pre-

configured 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.

Replacement

procedures

This section provides procedures for replacing the following parts. Use

the list below as a guideline for frequency of replacement.

•Feed Module tires and Separation Roller tires — tire life will vary

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.
