INTRODUCTION

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

Preand 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.

2.5 Setting the Hopper Height

When there is no alarm (the function number display is showing “1”), the Hopper height can be adjusted. When the scanning load is not very heavy, setting the hopper higher will shorten the time it moves to the feeding position.

• Do not touch the hopper when it is being adjusted. Your finger(s) may

ATTENTION

be pinched.

•Do not load anything onto the hopper when it is moving. If something gets into the mechanism, the scanner may be damaged.

•Do not place anything under the hopper. The hopper may collide with it and become damaged.

• Do not press the [Hopper Height] button (

) when the hopper is

closed. The hopper may be damaged.

Adjustment is not possible when:

•The scanner is scanning

•The hopper is closed.

•When using Software Operation Panel (see page 175).

Three hopper heights are available and the corresponding capacities are as follows.

High:	Up to 100* sheets
Middle:	Up to 300* sheets
Low:	Up to 500* sheets

*: Estimated using paper of 80g/m2 (20lb).

There are 2 ways to set documents on the hopper.

(1)Set the document at the center of the hopper (mainly for document of equal size pages).

(2)Set the document by either side of the hopper (mainly for document of different size pages, or you want to align the document by the side instead of the center line).
