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. 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. Furthermore, The Kofax VRS image processing board is installed as standard equipment for this scanner. This VRS board which has a good reputation for image processing on a high level, enables you to create images of high quality and provides advanced functions like the "Automatic direction correction" and "Background equalization function".

 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.

Do not use any aerosol sprays or alcohol based sprays to clean the scanner. Dust blown up by strong air from the spray may enter the inside of the scanner. This may cause the scanner to fail or malfunction. Sparks, caused by static electricity, generated when blowing off dust and dirt from the outside of the scanner may cause a fire.

Check the following items once a month:

•The power cable is firmly inserted into the AC outlet.

•The power cable is not emitting abnormal heat, or the power cable is not rusted or bent.

•Dust is not accumulated on the power cable. If so, wipe off any dust with a soft, dry

cloth.

•The power cable does not have any cracks or scratches.

If any abnormality is detected, contact your FUJITSU scanner dealer or an authorized FUJITSU scanner service provider.

Make sure to ground to avoid electric shock. Be sure to ground before plugging into the AC outlet. Unplug from the outlet before removing the ground connection.

The following describes important cautions described in this manual.

When installing the scanner on a table, make sure that the table is flat and level. Place the scanner so that none of its parts extend beyond the edge of the table, otherwise it may fall or collapse and cause injuries.

Install the scanner away from strong magnetic fields and other sources of electronic noise. Protect the scanner against any static electricity and choose a static-free place to install the scanner.

Static electricity can cause the scanner to malfunction.

xiii

Page 16

If there is an electrical storm, disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet. Lightening can travel through wires and water pipes and damage the scanner, which may damage your property.

Do not supply the power from the AC outlet where the devices requiring much power such as copying machines or paper shredders are connected.

Do not block the ventilation ports. Blocking the ventilation ports generates heat inside of the scanner, which may result in a fire or scanner failure.

Do not use the scanner immediately after moving it from a cold place into a warm room. Condensation may occur, which might lead to scanning errors. Let the scanner dry for one or two hours before you use it.

xiv

When handling documents, be careful not to cut your fingers with them.

When carrying the scanner outside while it is raining or snowing, pay special attention so the scanner does not get wet.

If the scanner gets wet, wipe it or wait until it dries.

When transporting the scanner, never carry it alone. The scanner is heavy.

3.4 Saving Scanned Images in PDF

ATTENTION

Format

To save scanned images in PDF format, Adobe Acrobat must be installed on your PC. Adobe Acrobat can be installed from the provided Adobe Acrobat DVD-ROM.

There are two ways to create PDF files:

(1) By ScandAll PRO(page 71)

Recommended when you want to create PDF files according to your business needs, by scanning in color or grayscale mode.

Reduce the data size of the PDF file Easily create PDF files without any special operations

(2) By Adobe Acrobat (page 71)

Recommended when you want to create PDF files quickly, by scanning in binary mode (black & white).

Quickly create PDF data in the same resolution as the original image Create PDF data in an arbitrary size by changing the compression rate

Although the data size is usually very large for color documents, you can drastically reduce the data size by using Acrobat Distiller before saving the image.

For more details, refer to "How to reduce the file size by Acrobat Distiller" on page 75.

Notes on the use of Adobe Acrobat

• For [Resolution], [Scan Type], and [Image Mode], Adobe Acrobat's settings are given priority over the scanner driver settings, thus the scanned image may not be displayed as previously configured in the scanner driver.

• The following functions are not available:

- [256 Color] and [8 Color] modes

- [Rotation Degree] specified when [End of Page Detection] is selected

- Long Page Scanning

- Automatic Page Size Detection

• When you use Adobe Acrobat to scan and convert a document into PDF, the output image may not turn out as intended:

- When the [Edge shadow removal] option of Acrobat and [Digital Endorser] or [Black Background] of TWAIN driver are enabled, character strings embedded in the image or the background may be lost. Solution 1:

1. In Acrobat, select [File]  [Create PDF]  [From Scanner]  [Custom Scan].

2. In the [Custom Scan] dialog box, click the [Options] button next to the [Small Size/

High Quality] slide bar under [Document].

3. In the [Optimization Options] dialog box, either set [Edge shadow removal] to [Off],

or set [Color/Grayscale] and [Monochrome] under [Compression] to a setting other

than [Adaptive]. Solution 2: Adjust the scanning density of the TWAIN driver.

3.4 Saving Scanned Images in PDF Format

Page 91

- When you scan in a resolution lower than Adobe’s recommended resolution with [Color/Grayscale] and/or [Monochrome] under [Compression] set to [Adaptive] in Acrobat, the output image may not be satisfactory.

Solution:

Under [Compression], set [Color/Grayscale] and/or [Monochrome] to a setting other than [Adaptive].

- Since scanning of documents longer than A3 or Double-Letter (11 × 17 in.) size is not supported in Acrobat, you may not be able to perform scanning successfully when [Overscan] is enabled in the TWAIN driver.

Solution:

To scan a Double-Letter (11 × 17 in.) or A3 sized document, do not enable [Overscan] in the TWAIN driver.

- For more details on using Acrobat and other information, refer to the Adobe Acrobat Help ("Create a PDF file from a scanned document") or

(drop out color)

One of the primary colors: red, green ,blue or any other color can be removed (dropped out) from the scanned image data. For example, if the document contains black text in a green frame, you can set the scanner to read only the text and eliminate (drop out) the green frame.(Dropout color will only work when scanning in monochrome or grayscale mode).

To set the scanner to drop out a color, change the settings in the [TWAIN Driver] dialog box before scanning.

The following shows the procedure for changing the settings in this dialog box.

1. Start TWAIN Driver from your scanning application.

Refer to “2.10 Scanning Documents” on page 30.

2. Click [Advance...] button in the [TWAIN Driver] dialog box.

4. Check the [Blank Page Skip] box.

When the check box is marked, “Cache Mode” will change to “Use both memory”.

5. Using the slider control under [Blank Page Skip], specify the Blank Page Skip degree.

For white pages, use the [Black Dots Ratio] slider bar to set the skip condition. For black pages, use the [White Dots Ratio] scroll bar to set the skip condition.

The value displayed to the right of the scroll bar displays the noise ratio(*1). If a scanned document is below this value, it is recognized as a blank page. The range is OFF(- -) and from

0.2% to 3.0% (in increments of 0.2%). *1: Ratio of black dots included in the scanning area. (for white pages) <In Color/Grayscale mode>

The [TWAIN Driver] dialog box will be redisplayed. Then, perform the scanning operation on the dialog box.

Use the slider bar to set the skip condition in five stages from 1 to 5. The bigger the value, the more likely a page will be detected as blank.
