1 Overview
Scanner models
This User’s Guide provides information and procedures for using and
maintaining the Alaris S2040, S2050, S2060w, S2070, and S2080w
Scanners.
The Alaris S2000/S2000w Series Scanners are compact, duplex color
document scanners perfect for personal and workgroup use. They scan
40-80 A4/letter size pages per minute (200/300 dpi black and white,
grayscale, and color). The input tray holds 80 pages. The dual LED
indirect illumination provides excellent image quality.
The S2000/S2000w Series Scanners have built-in embedded image
processing capabilities, to process images within the scanner
electronics. This feature reduces dependency on the PC processor, so
a lower specification PC can be used to support these scanners.
All these scanner models are entitled to use a freely downloadable
Alaris scanning application, available at the support page for your
model, for example www.kodakalaris.com/go/S2080wsupport
scanning applications allow you to scan your documents and send
them to various destinations with the touch of a button, then search for
and view your digitized documents based on different search criteria.
. Alaris
The S2000/S2000w scanners may also be used with other PC-based
scanning applications by means of the TWAIN or ISIS driver interface.
The S2000/S2000w Series Scanners also support the following flatbed
accessories:
• Kodak A3 Size Flatbed (not available for model S2040)
• Alaris Passport Flatbed
• Alaris Integrated A4/Legal Size Flatbed
Alaris S2060w/S2080w Scanners
The S2000w model scanners offer wired (USB or Ethernet) or wireless
connection to your network. One scanner can therefore be accessed by
more than one PC on the network. The S2060w and S2080w scanner
models support the ScanMate+ Mobile app, which allows you to scan
documents and receive them directly from the scanner on your iOS or
Android mobile device.
The S2000w scanners let you monitor and direct the scanner using a
3.5 inch display touch screen on the scanner itself.
The S2060w model scans at 60 pages per minute and the S2080w at
80 pages per minute (duplex scanning of portrait oriented pages, 200/
300 dpi, in black and white, grayscale, or color).

Sharing the S2060w/S2080w scanner among multiple PCs
NOTE: This section is relevant only for scanning with button-enabled
applications which allow scanning to be initiated at the scanner
(requires an Alaris scanning application).
By default, the S2000w scanners (the network scanners):
• will allow any PC or mobile device to connect over an enabled wired
or wireless connection.
• are in multiple PC mode. Multiple PC mode enables unlimited access
by PCs using TWAIN, ISIS or WIA drivers over a network connection.
Up to 10 PCs with button-enabled applications installed will be
displayed on the scanner screen. Limiting scanner access to a single
PC is explained in “Restricting use of the S2060w/S2080w scanner to
one PC” on page 22.
Setup for sharing the network scanner among PCs:
1. The S2060w or S2080w scanner is configured for wireless or wired
connections.
2. Several PCs or laptops install the S2000w scanner driver and install
an Alaris scanning application.
3. The users may optionally add a 4-digit numeric network security PIN
to their Alaris scanning application configuration.
4. The users may set up custom activities in an Alaris scanning
application, based on their needs. For example, users may set up
an activity to scan to their own One Drive account.
Usage Example:
1. The S2060w or S2080w Scanner is turned on.
2. The three PCs that are on the network connect to the S2000w
scanner. The logged in user name and account picture are
displayed on the scanner screen list of users.

3. Users with laptops come into the office and power on their laptops.
The laptop user’s user name and account picture are displayed on
the scanner as each one comes on the network.
4. A PC user needs to send a document to their One Drive.
- The user walks up to the scanner and selects their user name
from the list of users on the scanner screen.
- The user enters their network security PIN when prompted by the
scanner.
- The scanner displays the user’s Alaris scanning application
activities on the scanner screen.
- The user places a document in the scanner and chooses their
One Drive activity from the list.
- The scanner scans the document.
- When the last image is read from the scanner, the Alaris scanning
application processes the document on the user’s PC and sends
the document to the user’s One Drive account.
- The user presses the Home button on the scanner to log out, so
the scanner is available for the next user. (If a user forgets to log
out, their access will time out.)
5. A laptop user powers their laptop off to go to an off-site meeting.
The S2000w scanner notes that the laptop is no longer connected
and removes the user name and account picture from the scanner’s
user list.
6. A user at a PC needs to scan with scanning software that uses the
TWAIN or ISIS driver.
- The user launches their scanning application and selects the
S2000w scanner.
- The S2000w scanner shows that the scanner is currently in use
by that user. No other users will be able to use the scanner until
that user’s scanning is completed.
- The user places paper in the S2000w scanner and starts the
scan.
- The document is scanned by the user’s scanning software. The
scanner is then free for other users to connect.
7. A user needs to scan from the ScanMate+ mobile app or from an
application that uses the Kodak Alaris Web API.
- The user launches their scanning application and selects the
S2000w scanner.
- The S2000w scanner shows that the scanner is currently in use
by that user. No other users will be able to use the scanner until
that user’s scanning is completed.
- The user places paper in the S2000w scanner and starts the
scan.
- The document is scanned by the user’s scanning software. The

scanner is then free for other users to connect.
Restricting use of the S2060w/S2080w scanner to one PC
The S2000w scanners may be set up to limit access by PCs using
TWAIN, ISIS, or WIA drivers over a network connection. By enabling
Single PC Mode in the S2000w display screen (Settings menu) or the
scanner’s embedded web site, only the “owning PC” can connect using
the scanner drivers. The “owning PC” is the first PC to connect (using
the connect scanner utility) after the scanner is placed into Single PC
Mode. The scanner screen will display the owning PCs activities
directly (for example; activities, tasks, button shortcuts).
When in Single PC Mode, Alaris button-enabled applications will not
allow user selection at the scanner screen.
A user can still access a Single PC Mode scanner from a mobile
device.
If you want to limit use of your scanner by others but still access it
yourself from a mobile device, you should set up Single PC Mode.
NOTE: Single PC Mode does not prevent access to the scanner from
applications enabled by the Kodak Alaris Web API (such as the
ScanMate+ mobile application). Access to the scanner’s
embedded web server is not limited in Single PC Mode.
Other scanning applications
In Single PC Mode
1. Log in on the PC that “owns” the scanner.
2. Load your pages into the input tray.
3. At the touch screen, scroll to the desired activity name (e.g.
License). Choosing the name will initiate scanning.
4. Retrieve your pages from the output tray.
5. Access your images on the PC using your Alaris scanning
application, or the file system.
Alaris offers scanning options, such as Capture Pro Software and Info
Input Solution. These applications have other capabilities that can
improve your data capture, processing, and retrieval. Contact your
reseller for more information, or go to http://www.kodakalaris.com/go/
software.
You may already have a different scanning application that accesses
your scanner using its TWAIN or ISIS driver.
In addition, you may access the Scan Validation Tool. The Scan
Validation Tool offers access to the TWAIN and ISIS driver user
interface. It is intended to be used for diagnostic purposes, not for
normal scanning.

Document handling
If you have set up special settings for your pages, the
display during scanning will have an indicator of the
special handling: for instance scanning with multifeed
detection disabled.
Sometimes the scanner will wait for you to take some action:
• A feeding situation such as a multifeed waits for you
to take some action. The scanner screen indicates
your options.
• Restart required — power the scanner off, wait 5
seconds, then power it on.
• Scanner cover open — close the cover.
Use the button to pause during scanning. Pause allows you to
change some settings dynamically.
The setting for document Handling determines how the scanner
transports pages through the scanner. It affects how pages are fed into
the scanner, how fast they move through the scanner, and how they are
placed in the output tray. An enhanced handling option can improve
output stacking. You may find it helpful for mixed page sizes, lightweight
paper, paper with some static, or paper with some curl.
Special document handling can be set up for your job using the driver.
During scanning, you can adjust document handling using the scanner
screen:
• First pause the scanner. Press the button to pause
scanning. The scanner screen indicates the pause;
the scanner waits for you to resume or stop scanning.
• While the scanner is paused, press the down arrow to
get to the document handling menu. Use the arrow
buttons to select Normal, Improved, or Best:
- Normal: No additional handling is performed. Use
Normal when all documents are similar in size.
- Improved: Aids in controlling how the documents are stacked/
ordered in the output tray for mixed document sets. Improved
should work for the majority of mixed sets.
- Best: When your document set contains great variability in size,
this option provides the best control of how pages are stacked in
the output tray.
• Press Play / Select to resume scanning with the handling
method you selected.

Preparing documents for scanning
The pages being scanned and physical setup of the scanner affect how
smoothly your input pages will feed into the scanner and stack after
passing through the scanner. Standard paper size pages feed easily.
Be sure your pages conform to size, weight, and type of documents that
the scanner can handle. See the scanner specifications for your
scanner model, at
S2040/S2050/S2070:
S2060w/S2080w:
Follow these “good practices” tips to ensure good feeding:
1. Remove all staples and paper clips from the pages. Staples and
paper clips may damage the scanner and your pages.
2. All inks and correction fluids on the paper must be dry before
scanning is started.
3. If your pages stick together, they may have trouble feeding one by
one. Fan the pages to help them separate, before putting them in
the input tray. It can be helpful to fan them in two directions if they
stick tightly together (e.g. because of static or because they are very
smooth).
4. After fanning, straighten the stack of pages. If the pages have mixed
sizes, straighten just at the edge that will lead them into the scanner.
If the pages are all the same size, straighten them first on a side
edge and then on the lead edge.
5. Place the pages centered in the input tray, between the side guides.
Position the front side of your pages face down against the input
tray and the top of the pages into the input tray, lead edge first.
Extend the input tray so it supports the input stack.
A-61895 May 201829
Page 38
3 Scanning
6. Slide the side guides so they touch the sides of your input stack. If
your paper is standard letter or A4 size, the input tray has a switch
to restrict the side guides from opening wider, as shown.
7. Extend the output tray so it is longer than the input stack by about
1/2 in/1 cm. Raise the end stop of the output tray, if the paper is
shorter than 14 in/35 cm.
8. For pages that are difficult to feed or separate, feather the lead
edges of the stack, as shown. Hold the back of the stack and bend
the stack so the lead edges of the bottom documents are forward of
the top documents. Maintain this shape in the stack when you place
the pages into the input tray.
9. Some paper types can affect feeding and separation performance:
- Thermal papers
- Coated papers
- Glued edge papers
- Perforated pages
- Carbonless paper
- Pre-folded paper
- Papers with static charge
- Photographs (glossy)
- Rough textured paper
- Previously stapled documents
You may need to experiment with these tips and with active feeding
(see “Mixed paper” on page 31) to find the preparation steps and input
stack size that work well for your documents.
30A-61895 May 2018

Settings for reliable feeding
Active Feeding
Active Feeding can help to align and prepare the leading edges of small
stacks (30 or fewer sheets) prior to feeding. If the document set for a
typical job is smooth paper of mixed sizes, Active Feeding can help it
feed reliably. To enable active feeding, refer to the TWAIN or ISIS driver
help or set-up guides. Set-up guides are available on the support page
for your model:
Enhanced Separation aids in reducing multifeeds at the start of
scanning. This feature is on by default because it is recommended for
all feeding applications. Page types that separate easily may feed
reliably with this feature turned off. Turning enhanced separation off will
allow scanning to begin slightly more quickly. To enable enhanced
separation, refer to the TWAIN or ISIS driver help or set-up guides. Setup guides are available on the support page for your model. For a list of
support page links, see “Active Feeding” on page 31.
Follow the tips in “Preparing documents for scanning” on page 29, and
above in “Settings for reliable feeding”. Try to stack the input paper so it
is centered, side to side in the input tray. Lead edges should align or be
feathered.
www.kodakalaris.com/go/S2040support
If you want output pages to align at the trailing edge (which can be
useful when input pages are different lengths), raise the scanner on its
tilt stand:
1. Tip the scanner backwards.
2. Pull the tilt stand legs down until they snap into their extended
position. See “Underside view” on page 7.
3. Tip the scanner forwards until it rests on the tilt stand legs. This
configuration will encourage output pages to settle against the
scanner.
NOTE: Tilt stand legs are not available on the S2040.

Enhanced stacking, to maintain order in output stack
Using the tilt stand may be especially helpful with enhanced stacking.
To enable enhanced stacking, refer to the TWAIN or ISIS driver help or
set-up guides. Set-up guides are available on the support page for your
model. For a list of support page links, see “Active Feeding” on
page 31.
Lightweight paper
Straighten the stack of input paper, then fan pages, before placing them
in the feeder, lead edge first.
Do not push lightweight paper too far into the input tray. The scanner
needs to detect the pages, but pushing too far may crumple delicate
paper.
NCR paper
Scanning small items
For pages less than 7.2 lb/27 gm
to the TWAIN Settings > Device - Transport tab).
“No carbon required” (NCR) paper is coated with chemicals that affect
the scanner rollers and can degrade scanner feeding performance.
After scanning NCR paper you should clean the scanner. See
“Cleaning procedures” on page 40.
If you are scanning small items such as a driver’s license or credit card
— especially hard cards that are relatively thick — they should be
scanned with the embossed side up and ideally one at a time. You may
need to assist them by hand.
One card may be scanned first in a batch with larger pages.

Gap release tab
Fragile or oversize paper
Handle with care
If you are concerned that delicate pages might crumple as they pass
through the scanner, you can enable Intelligent Document Protection.
This setting will stop the scanner if it detects a page at risk. To enable
Intelligent Document Protection, refer to the TWAIN or ISIS driver help
or set-up guides. Set-up guides are available on the support page for
your model. For a list of support page links, see “Active Feeding” on
page 31.
• You may have to experiment to find the optimal setting for your
specific pages, balancing care of your pages against scanning
throughput.
Using gap release is another option to handle with care. Some pressure
is used to separate the first (bottom) page in a stack from the rest of the
stack. If you want to feed one delicate page or a photo with no pressure
on it, pull up the gap release tab, put your page into the input tray, and
scan it.
Return the gap release tab to its normal position for scanning a stack of
pages.

Oversize paper
3 Scanning
For fragile paper that you can’t risk damaging, put each page into a
document sleeve (to order Alaris Carrier Sleeves (5 packs), refer to the
link for your scanner in “Supplies and Consumables” on page 51). To
enable scanning with a carrier sleeve, refer to the TWAIN or ISIS driver
help or set-up guides. Set-up guides are available on the support page
for your model. For a list of support page links, see “Active Feeding” on
page 31. Then:
• Put the paper in the sleeve and scan.
NOTE: Intelligent Document Protection should be off when scanning
with a carrier sleeve. See “Handle with care” above.
If you regularly scan fragile paper, you should consider adding an Alaris
flatbed accessory. To see Alaris flatbed accessories available, refer to
the link for your scanner in “Supplies and Consumables” on page 51.
If you want to scan paper that is wider than the input opening of the
scanner but less than twice that width, you can scan it folded, in a
sleeve accessory (to order Alaris Carrier Sleeves (5 packs), refer to the
link for your scanner model in “Supplies and Consumables” on
page 51). To enable scanning a folded document, refer to the TWAIN or
ISIS driver help or set-up guides. Set-up guides are available on the
support page for your model. For a list of support page links, see
“Active Feeding” on page 31. Then:
• Fold the paper in half so it fits into the sleeve.
• Both sides of the sleeved document will be scanned, and the images
will be merged into one.

3 Scanning
Multifeeds
A multifeed is more than one page passing through the imaging area
together. It results in either one or more images not being captured, or
an image that combines content from more than one page.
Detecting multifeeds during scanning
Adjust multifeed sensitivity in your scanning application.
If a multifeed occurs when you are scanning (and interactive multifeed
is set up for your job):
1. Look at the image on your PC. If the image is acceptable, choose to
accept it in your scanning application or press the Play button at the
scanner to resume scanning.
2. If the image is not acceptable:
- Open the scanner cover.
- Separate the multifed pages and put them back at the bottom of
the stack.
- Shuffle the stack into good feeding form again.
- Close the scanner.
- Put stack into the input tray.
- Choose Rescan at the scanner or in your scanning application.
The image will be deleted and scanning will resume.
If scanner is stopping when paper is not multifed
Adjust multifeed sensitivity in your scanning application. Refer to the
TWAIN or ISIS driver help or set-up guides. Set-up guides are available
on the support page for your model. For a list of support page links, see
“Active Feeding” on page 31. You may have to experiment to find the
ideal setting with your types of pages.
Disabling multifeed detection for special input pages
Your scan settings may be set to detect multifeeds. If you want to keep
that normal setting, but occasionally disable it to scan an envelope or a
page with paper taped to it, without stopping:
• For the S2040/S2050/S2070 scanners, press and hold the Play
button while the document is transporting through the scanner.
• For the S2060w/S2080w scanners, pause scanning, then go into
Settings > Advanced view and override multifeed detection.
36A-61895 May 2018
Page 45
If you still have trouble
If you have tried the other suggestions in this section and still have
trouble, then check the scanner:
• See “Cleaning procedures” on page 40 for how to clean the scanner.
Roller cleanliness and wear affect how well pages feed.
• See “Replacement procedures” on page 46 to be sure that feed
rollers, separation rollers, and pre-separation pad are installed
correctly.
• See “Problem solving” on page 53 for more suggestions.
NOTE: Certain options you may select, such as feeding documents with
more care or improved output stacking, will slow scanning
throughput.
Improving image quality
Your scanner is able to produce images optimized for your purpose.
Here are some of the commonly used enhancements. These and more
features are described in the Help system for your driver (TWAIN or
ISIS). These features are set up through the driver, so your Alaris
scanning application may be able to use them in programmed scanning
profiles or settings.
3 Scanning
Recommended settings
Black and White Perfect Page and Color Perfect Page shortcuts in your
driver provide our recommended settings for document scanning.
Other Perfect Page settings
The following settings can improve the appearance of your images or
documents:
1. Auto blank page removal: Images with little or no data can be
automatically removed from output, saving manual editing and
storage.
2. Hole fill: Black holes from paper punches can be changed to the
background color of the image.
3. Background color smoothing: In color images, uneven image
background color can be changed to a more uniform background,
for a cleaner looking image.
4. Noise reduction (despeckle): Black and white images may have
noise (black specks) because of uneven paper thickness. Noise
reduction options can make the image look cleaner. They also have
some risk of removing information from the image, so if automated
data recognition is your primary purpose, noise reduction may not
be a good choice.
5. Image border: To remove all background at the image border, turn
on edge fill (either automatic or automatic with tears).
6. Color dropout: Unneeded form data, in one or multiple colors, can
be eliminated from the image.
A-61895 May 201837

7. Image merge: Front and back images can be merged into one —
e.g. the front and back of a check can become one image.
8. Dual stream: You can receive both a black and white and a color (or
grayscale) image of the scanned page, for front, back, or both sides.
Turning the scanner off
To turn the scanner off, touch the power button for 1 second.
NOTE: The Power Off energy saver feature will also turn the scanner
off after an extended period of time in power saver mode. The

Your scanner needs to be cleaned periodically. For any of these issues
you should first clean your scanner:
• your pages do not feed easily
• several pages feed at the same time
• streaks appear on your images
• pages exiting the scanner have roller/tire marks
Transport cleaning sheets, roller cleaning pads, and Staticide and
Brillianize wipes are all available for purchase from Kodak Alaris. Refer
to the link for your scanner in “Supplies and Consumables” on page 51
for supplies required to clean your scanner.
IMPORTANT: Use only cleaners recommended by Kodak Alaris. Do not
use household cleaners. Do not use alcohol or products
containing alcohol.
Allow surfaces to cool to ambient temperature before
cleaning. Do not use cleaners on hot surfaces.
Use adequate ventilation. Do not use cleaners in
confined areas.
After cleaning, allow rollers to dry before resuming
scanning.

Replacement procedures
Alaris Scanners use replaceable feed roller modules that can feed a
wide range of document types, sizes and thicknesses. The nominal
feed roller module life is approximately 200,000 pages. Operating
environment, document type, the condition of pages being scanned, the
frequency of cleaning paper path and tires, and not following the
recommended schedule for changing the feed roller module can cause
the life of consumables to vary. Change the feed roller module if you
notice an increase in multiple feeds or stoppages, or a decrease in
feeder performance that is not resolved by following the cleaning
procedures.
NOTES:
• Before replacing parts, disconnect the electrical power.
• Certain paper types (such as carbonless paper or newsprint), failure
to clean regularly, and/or use of non-recommended cleaning solvents
can shorten roller life.

How to obtain Limited Warranty service
Alaris Scanners are supplied with information on unpacking, setup, installation and operation. Careful reading of the User’s
Guide will answer most of the technical questions the end user might have regarding proper installation, operation and
maintenance of the product. However, should additional technical support be required, you may visit our website at:
www.kodakalaris.com/go/imsupport
The Response Center is available Monday – Friday (excluding Kodak Alaris holidays) 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
Before placing the call, the eligible purchaser should have the Alar is Scanner model number, part number, serial number and
proof of purchase available. The eligible purchaser should also be prepared to provide a description of the problem.
Response Center personnel will assist the end user in resolving the problem over the phone. The end user may be asked to run
some simple, self-diagnostic tests and report the resulting status and error code messages. This will assist the Response
Center in determining if the problem is the Alaris Scanner or another component and if the problem can be resolved over the
phone. If the Response Center determines a hardware problem exists that is covered either under the Limited Warranty or a
purchased Maintenance Agreement, a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA) will be assigned as needed, a service
request will be initiated and repair or replacement procedures will follow.

Packaging and shipping guidelines
Purchaser must ship all warranty returns in a method that guarantees full protection of the product from shipping damage.
Failure to do so will void the Alaris Scanner warranty. Kodak Alaris advises the purchaser to keep the original box and packing
materials for storing or shipping. Kodak Alaris is not responsible for issues related to shipping damage. The purchaser must
return only the Alaris Scanner. Prior to shipment, purchaser must remove and retain all “add-on” items, (i.e. adapters, cables,
software, manuals, etc.). Kodak Alaris accepts no responsibility for these items and they will not be returned with the repaired or
replacement Alaris Scanner. All products should be returned to Kodak Alaris in the original shipping container, or an authorized
packaging box for the units being returned. Purchaser must install the shipping restraint before the Alaris Scanner is shipped.
When the original packaging is not available, contact Kodak Alaris’ Response Center at (800) 822-1414 for part numbers and
replacement packaging ordering information.
Return procedure

Authorization Number (“RMA”) by calling (800) 822-1414 and within ten (10) business days from the date of issuance of the
RMA must return the Alaris Scanner to the address designated in the RMA at the end user’s own expense and risk, in
compliance with Kodak Alaris’ current Packaging and Shipping Guidelines.

Warranty Service descriptions
Kodak Alaris offers a range of service programs to support its Limited Warranty and to assist with the use and care of the Alaris
Scanner (“Service Methods”). An Alaris Scanner represents an important investment. Alaris Scanners provide the productivity
needed to stay competitive. The sudden loss of this productivity, even temporarily, could seriously affect the ability to meet
commitments. Downtime can be very expensive, not just in the cost of the repair but also in time lost. To help alleviate these
problems, Kodak Alaris may use one of the service methods listed below, depending upon product type, in providing service
under its Limited Warranty.
Included with selected Alaris Scanners is a Limited Warranty Registration card and a Limited Warranty Summary card. The
Limited Warranty Summary card is specific by model. The Limited Warranty Summary card contains important warranty
information, including the model number and the Limited Warranty. Refer to the Limited Warranty Summary card to determine
the available Service Methods applicable to the particular Alaris Scanner.
If the Limited Warranty Registration card or Limited Warranty Summary card cannot be located, additional information may be
obtained about the product, including updated warranty and service program information and restrictions, online at
www.kodakalaris.com/go/imsupport

at the first opportunity. If you cannot locate the Limited Warranty Registration card, you may register online at
