Basic Operation of the Operator Panel

This section describes basic operation of the operator panel including how to enter the mode selection mode in which you can use setup mode, browse mode, and test mode.

Displaying detailed information if an error occurred

If an error occurs, the CHECK LED blinks and the error message is displayed on the LCD. For example, the LCD indicates as follows:

Hopper empty

Press CANCEL to clear the error (Temporaly errors will clear, equipment errors will not).

3-2

Lifting or lowering the hopper

When the scanner has no error (the CHECK LED does not light), pressing lifts the hopper and pressing lowers the hopper.

CAUTION

During hopper height adjustment, do not touch the hopper table or do not put anything on the hopper table to prevent your fingers from being caught. If something is caught in the mechanism, the scanner may be damaged.

In details:

•The DATA LED does not light (the scanner contains no data),

•The scanning operation is not in progress,

•The scanner is not in test mode (except the offline feed test), and

•The scanner is not in setup or browse mode.

The hopper stops at the pick position or at the 250-, 500-, or 1000-sheet position depending on the hopper height adjustment in setup mode. At the pick position, the top paper of stack (the hopper table when no paper is loaded on the hopper) is aligned to the pick roller. At the 250-sheet position, for example, the hopper table can load about 250 sheets of paper.

Each time you pressor, the hopper lifts or lowers by one position. Pressingwhen paper is loaded, the hopper lifts up to the pick position.
