Manual Feed Mode Setting

In this mode, the scanner waits for some predetermined time before issuing a “Paper Empty” message
after all documents are read. This predetermined time (time-out limit) is specified in the Setup mode.

Therefore, you can set the next documents on the ADF paper chute without interrupting the reading
operation.

The procedures for setting the manual feed mode are as follows:

1. Turn the power On and verify that “Scanner Ready” is displayed on the LCD.

- Paper with clips or staples.

- Paper written on with wet ink.

- Paper of uneven thickness (for example, envelopes).

- Paper with large rumples or curls.

- Paper with folds or tears.

Document Quality

This section describes the types and weights of paper that the scanner can read and precautions in
preparing documents to ensure maximal scanner functioning.

■

Document type

The recommended paper type for documents is as follows:

• Woodfree paper

• Plain paper (for example, the paper type specified for XEROX 4024)

When using any other type of paper, test feed a few sheets with the ADF to ensure the paper feeds
properly before performing a large-scale reading operation.

Any paper can be used on the Document bed. However, the ground color specification must satisfy the
specification described in the Grounding Color Area section.

■

Paper weight

The paper weight should fall within the following ranges:

• 52 to 127 g/m

■

Precautions

A preliminary document feed test may be necessary to avoid unexpected errors. If document slip or jam in
the ADF (JAM error) or double feed occurs frequently, read the documents manually using the Document
bed.

The following documents may be difficult to read properly using the ADF:

• Paper with clips or staples.

• Paper written on with wet ink.

• Paper of uneven thickness (for example, envelopes).

• Paper with large rumples or curls.

• Paper with folds or tears.

• Tracing paper.

(13.9 to 34 lb), 127g/m2 (34lb) for A8

• Carbon paper.

• Paper smaller than A8 (vertical)

• Paper larger than letter size in width (216 mm) or legal size in length (356 mm)

• Materials other than paper (for example, clothes, metal foil, or OHP film).

• Light-sensitive paper.

• Paper which has perforations and drilling in an end.

• Non-rectangular paper.

• Very thin paper.

NOTICE

• When scanning a translucent document, set the density to light mode.

• Carbonless papers have a chemical composition that damages the Pad and the rollers which send a

paper (Pick roller etc). Therefore, note the following:

Cleaning : If mispicks occur frequently, clean the Pad and Pick roller in accordance with

the “Cleaning and Maintenance” manual.

Replacement of parts :The life of the Pad and Pick roller may be shorter than if PPC paper

documents are fed.

• The leading edge of all documents fed using the ADF should be straightened so the curl of the paper

meets the specifications shown below:

More than 30mm Feed direction

Less than
3mm

Less than
5mm

• To prevent roller smudging, avoid scanning a document filled out in a pencil.

Clean the roller as ofen as possible when scanning many document.

Double Feed Detection Condition

When the double-feed sensor is used, the thickness or the combination of the thickness and the length of
the document is subject to the following specifications:

1 Thickness: 0.065 mm to 0.15 mm

2 Paper length accuracy: 1% or less

3 Any black print at the center of the leading edge of the paper is not allowed. (10 mm x 10 mm)

4 No binding holes are allowed within 35 mm of the middle (halfway point) along the center of the paper.

5 Printing duty: 12 % or less

6 The deviation of the amount of transparent light on the base color area should be less than 10 %.

NOTICE

Certain paper types or a certain condition of paper result in lower detection rates in terms of double feed
detection.

The counter is automatically reset at the start of reading. The
counter is used for checking the number of the sheets scanned
in one batch.

When the
button is pressed

This counter increments each time a document is scanned. It is
not initialized until the power is turned off. The counter can be
used, for example, for checking the number of sheets that have
been scanned in one day.

Abrasion counter The abrasion counter counts the accumulated number of scanned sheets. This

counter increments every 10 sheets. It is useful to check the cleaning cycle or the
parts replacement cycle. How to reset it is described in Chapter7 "SETUP MODE".

Life Counter Keeps a cumulative count of the number of scans made after shipping.

This counter increments by 1 after every 10 scans and may be used to estimate of
the device's remaining scan life.

2. At Screen 1.

Press either the or button to set the double feed detection according to the paper thickness
(transmitted light).

The paper thickness is checked using the difference between two consecutive sheets of paper fed
from the ADF. On this screen, select whether or not to check for double feeding, and select the error
processing.

Each time either of these buttons is pressed, the location of the blinking moves. When the button is
pressed, the blinking moves from (1) to (3). When the button is pressed, the blinking moves in the
opposite direction. However, if the setting by the host computer is valid, the location of the blinking
does not move when either button is pressed.

(1) “No” is blinking: Paper thickness is not checked.

(2) “Yes” and “1” are blinking: Paper thickness is checked. However, a detected double feed error

is displayed on the screen only; processing is continued.

(3) “Yes” and “2: Stop” are blinking: Paper thickness is checked. When the double feed error is

detected, the scan processing is stopped. The error is then reported to the host.

If you want to disable the double feed, select “No” then press . Press to return.

NOTICES

1. Double Feed detection might have better results when both the paper thickness and the paper length
are used.

2. When the document in ADF is not the double fed document, the previous document might be double
fed, in case the scanner stops feeding by using the double feed detection.

3. Depending on the type of printing on the document, a double feed may not be detected by the paper
thickness.

NOTICE

The factory default is “Standard”.

NOTICE

fi-4340C has built-in Image Processing. The following image processing is supported both by the fi­4340C and the IPC-4D(IMAGE PROCESSING CIRCUIT BOARD). As a default, the scanner built-in
functions are enabled. By setting "On" using the Operator Panel, the IPC-4D image processing
overrides the built-in functions.

2 Outline Pre-threshold Laplacian Laplacian

3 Simplified Dynamic Threshold IPC-2 like SDTC 3 x 3 max-min

The IPC-4D(IMGGE PROCESSING CIRCUIT BOARD) support of those functions is intended for
compatibility with the IPC-3/3D (except for image quality). The matrix size used in the IPC-4D(IMAGE
PROCESSING CIRCUIT BOARD) is larger than the one in the fi-4340C. The fi-4340C Built-in
Dynamic Threshold is a new algorithm.

IPC-4D(IMAGE PROCESSING CIRCUIT BOARD)

The IPC-4D(IMAGE PROCESSING CIRCUUIT BOARD) performs the image processing.
IPC-4D(IMAGE PROCESSING CIRCUIT BOARD) supports the following image processing.

Item Description

Pre-Filter BallPoint Pen Mode :

Smooth ballpoint pen strokes into a single bold line.

Background Removal Remove background tone and light dither.

Dynamic Threshold Dynamic Threshold:

Automatically optimize binary threshold level to separate text from back­ground, for high contrast output.

IPC-2-like Dynamic Threshold:
Optimizes the binary threshold level to separate text from background,

allowing light text to be captured while maintaining sharpness.

Noise Removal Dot removal size settable from 2x2 to 5x5.

Optical noise (speckles, etc.) is automatically detected and removed
from the output.

Auto Separation Auto Separation :

Automatically, detects the text area for binarizing and the photo area for
dithering.

Outline Extract Outline

Extract outline of the image

Image Emphasys Emphasis (Low/Middle/High/Smooth) :

Emphasis contour.

NOTICE

For the installation and functions of the IPC-4D(IMAGE PROCESSING CIRCUIT BOARD), refer to the
supplied manual.
