Thank you for purchasing the fi-5950 Image Scanner.
The fi-5950 is an image scanner designed to scan various documents in large quantities.
This document describes the basic operation methods to perform scanning by using ScandAll PRO.
The version of ScandAll PRO bundled with this product is subject to change without notice, in
which case the screenshots captured in this document may differ from the actual displayed image.
For more information about ScandAll PRO, refer to the separate [ScandAll PRO User's Guide].
The fi-5950 has the following features.
Improvement of color scanning speed (105 sheets or 210 pages
per minute) with high resolution (300dpi)
By the newly-developed high speed CCD and high speed image processing circuit,
scanning speed (A4 color, 300dpi) of 105 sheets/210 pages per minute) is improved.
Now you can scan a large amount of documents which is about 100,000 sheets a day!
Efficient pre-processing and post-processing!
This scanner is able to scan mixed documents stables of papers of different color,
density, size and thickness. This makes the scanning process even simpler and
economic, since you no not have to sort out the documents before scanning any more!
Furthermore, this scanner is equipped with an "Elevator" Stacker, moving
automatically into the appropriate height, according to the amount of loaded
documents. This will make the documents be easily and elegantly handled and also
increases your scanning efficiency!
Prevention of data loss because of improved multi feed detection
This scanner is equipped with ultrasonic multi feed detection sensors, which detect
reliably the feeding of 2 or more documents together into the scanner. Those multi
feed can also be detected surely, when scanning documents of different thickness,
size, color or density. This will help you to increase your efficiency, since the data loss
caused by multi feed is detected immediately. This gives you the opportunity to
correct the scanning without too much troubles and loss of time.
High image processing function
The automatic detection function of this scanner is able to detect if the loaded
documents are color or monochrome and according to the detection the appropriate
settings will be automatically chosen for the image creation. Since the scanner does
this automatically, you do not have to set the image settings each time before
scanning.
i
Pre- and Post imprinter option can be installed
In today's document business, imprinters provide a vital tool for archiving, controlling
and verification processes. For this scanner, you can select two optional types of
imprinters, depending on your needs. The Pre-Imprinter Option prints information on
the front side of the documents prior to the scanning. When using Pre-imprinter, the
printed information will also be stored on the generated image. The Post-Imprinter on
the other hand, will print after the scanning on the back sides of your documents. So
only the originals, and not the images, will contain the imprint.
Centralized management of multiple scanners
The bundled "Scanner Central Admin Agent" application allows you to manage
multiple scanners together, for example, to update the scanner settings and drivers, as
well as to monitor the operating status of each scanner.

Besides the “Automatic Feed Mode” which automatically scans the document set on the hopper, the scanner can also scan documents in the “Manual Feed Mode”.
In addition, the “Manual Feed Mode” is divided into 2 types:
<1> Single Feed: Only one sheet is manually fed and scanned. This is
suitable for
•thick paper, envelopes and folded paper and other types of documents that are difficult to
scan using Automatic Feed Mode. (In case of folded paper, make the folding line as the
leading edge).
•reducing the load on the hopper.
•making sure a certain page is scanned.

2.15 Resuming from Power Saving Mode
ATTENTION
HINT
Power saving mode saves the power consumption of the scanner while the power is turned on. When the
scanner is left without operation for 15 minutes or more (factory initial setting), it automatically enters the
power saving mode.
When the scanner entered the power saving state, the LCD indication of Operation panel becomes off and
the green LED lamps for Power button and Paper Thickness keeps lighting.
If you want to resume the scanner from the power saving mode, take any of these actions below.
•Set documents on the hopper.
•Press any button on the Operator panel (except the Power button*).
* If you press the power button for two seconds or longer, the power is turned off.
•Execute any command from the scanner driver screen in the PC.
Also, the scanner can be set to turn itself off automatically when it is turned on and left unused for a certain
period of time.
You can save the power consumption by having the scanner turn off automatically.
To enable this setting, select the [Power off after a certain period of time] check box in [Device Setting] of
the Software Operation Panel. For details, refer to “8.2 Power saving setting” on page 190.
To turn the scanner back on when it is automatically turned off, press the power button on the scanner.
For details, refer to “2.1 Turning the Scanner ON /OFF” on page 8.
• Depending on the application you are using, the scanner may not be
turned off automatically even when the [Power off after a certain period
of time] check box is selected.
• If the scanner turns itself off automatically while you are using an image
scanning application, close the application first, then turn the scanner
back on.
The waiting time for entering the power saving mode can be set in a range
from 15 to 55 minutes in steps of 5 minutes. To set the power saving mode,
refer to “8.2 Power saving setting” on page 190.

2.17 Centralized Management of
Scanners
This section explains about managing a large number of scanners in a unified manner by providing the following capabilities.
• Simultaneously update settings for multiple scanners and their drivers.
Because there is no need to update each scanner one by one, a significant
reduction is achieved in the time required to update a large number of scanners.
• Monitor scanners to check for any consumable parts that require replacement, or
the occurrence of errors.
The alerts for consumable part replacement and errors are provided by scanners,
which provides an easy way of checking the operating status of scanners.
To enable the above functions, "Scanner Central Admin" is required which consists of four applications
bundled with this product:
• Scanner Central Admin Server
Install this application in the main computer that is used for the centralized management of
scanners.
By registering scanners on the Scanner Central Admin Server, you can build a system to run a
unified management for all scanners.
•
Scanner Central Admin Console
Install this application in a computer to upload update modules and to monitor the operating status
of the scanners.
The administrators can perform these tasks from the Scanner Central Admin Console window,
where they can also check the alerts for consumable replacement and errors sent from the scanners.
•
Scanner Central Admin Agent
Install this application in a computer connected to a scanner. It allows scanners to link with the
Scanner Central Admin Server.
Linking with the Scanner Central Admin Server will enable you to apply updates on scanner
settings, and the scanner can also send alerts on consumable replacement and errors.
•
SCAModule Creator
Use this application to create update modules to upload onto the Scanner Central Admin Server.
It is only required for creating update modules.
