1.1 Main Features

This section explains about the main features of this product. The scanner is equipped with the following features:
Realizes a scanning speed of 130 sheets/260 pages per minute (under JPEG compression)
With a newly-developed high-speed CCD and a high-speed image processing circuit, the scanner can achieve a scanning speed of up to 130 sheets/260 pages per minute with A4/Letter color documents. This allows you to scan up to approximately 60,000 sheets per day.
Mounts a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The scanner mounts an LCD that displays various operational settings for scanning, number of pages scanned, and error status. This allows you to easily check the status of the scanner.
Improved efficiency for pre- and post-scan work
The scanner supports "batch scanning" which allows you to scan documents with different paper thickness/size/color/brightness at once, simplifying the process of sorting the documents before scanning. Also, the new "Elevator Stacker" has been adopted which automatically keeps the stacker at a certain height. This prevents the scanned documents from being scattered in the output, which makes the scan operation more efficient.
Reduced work loss caused by multifeeds
The scanner mounts an ultrasonic multifeed sensor that accurately detects errors when two or more sheets are fed through the scanner at once (called "multifeed"). This multifeed detection is reliable even when scanning a mixed batch of documents with different thickness/size/color/ brightness, avoiding potential work loss.
Intelligent Multifeed function
When there is paper of the same size attached to a designated location on the page, the Intelligent Multifeed function recognizes the location of the attachment. This allows you to continue scanning instead of detecting every paper attached to that location as multifeed.
Furthermore, functions such as Paper Protection will save valuable documents from being damaged.
Various functions to help the operators
“Anti-Dust Coating Glass built-in Paper Path” keeps the surface of the scan glass clean, reducing the operators’ work load by extending the cleaning cycles. “Automatic Stacker” is adopted which stacks the scanned documents neatly, reducing the operators’ work load by shortening the time to prepare and sort the documents. “Automatic Image Quality Checker” checks through the scanned images and displays images that are in poor condition.
Advanced image processing functions
The scanner’s automatic detection function outputs images in color or monochrome by document content. You do not have to change the settings every time you scan. Also, it comes with a Kofax CGA board which is known for quality image processing. High quality images can be acquired by using functions such as Automatic Image Rotation which rotates documents into their correct orientations, as well as other various image processing functions such as Background Removal.
Front-Side/Back-Side Imprinter Option
Front-Side/Back-Side Imprinters are available as scanner options, which are often demanded for managing/verifying vouchers and business forms. You can select Front-Side Imprinter (to print on the front side of the document) or Back-Side Imprinter (to print on the back side of the document) for improved usability.
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.

1.7 Setting the Loading Capacity of the Hopper

If there are only a few documents, you can set the hopper to a higher position and shorten the time to get to the feeding position.
z To avoid the risk of jamming your fingers, do not touch the
hopper while it is moving up/down.
z Do not place anything on top of the hopper while it is
moving. The scanner may be damaged if any object is caught inside.
z To avoid any contact that may damage the scanner, do not
place anything beneath the hopper.
z Do not adjust the hopper height from the operator panel
when the hopper is closed, as it may damage the hopper.
This function is only available when [Ready] is displayed on the operator panel LCD.
The hopper level can be set for three different capacities.
Upper: A maximum of 100
sheets (*1) can be loaded.
Use the operator panel to adjust the height of the hopper. Configure by selecting [10: Hopper Level] in the [Main Menu] of the operator panel. For more details about the settings, refer to "4.2 Main Menu"
(page 65).
When the scanner has just been powered on, it is set to the [4: Lower] position.
[Hopper Level] can also be displayed by shortcut key. To display the [Hopper Level] screen by shortcut key, press the [Eject] button and either [] or [] button at the same time when [Ready] is displayed.

1.8 Stacker Setting

When you perform a scan, the document loaded on the hopper is ejected onto the stacker. You can stack the documents neatly by using the stacker extension and the stacker side guides as shown in the procedure below. You can also fix the stacker at certain heights.

How to Guide Documents

1 Adjust the stacker extension to the length of the
document, and pull up the paper stop.
Use the paper stop (small) when the document length is short. Lift up the paper stop (small) to about 130 degrees from the stacker level.
To scan documents longer than A3 size, pull out the hopper extension and the stacker extension all the way. Also, make sure not to pull up the paper stop.
2 Adjust the stacker side guides to the width of the
document.

1.9 Adjusting the Paper Separation Force

When you experience frequent multifeeds, pick errors or paper jams, you can fix the problem by adjusting the force that separates the papers. Keep the default setting for normal use.
Paper separation force can be set in five different levels.
Low High Force Paper type
 : Low Low friction, easy
to separate
 : Slightly low
 : Mid (default)
 : Slightly high High friction,
difficult to separate
 : High
z Set the paper separation force lower when pick errors or
paper jams occur frequently.
z Set the paper separation force higher if multifeeds occur
frequently when the paper separation force is low.
z Errors such as multifeed, pick error and paper jam may also
be caused by worn-out consumables or contamination in the feeding mechanism. If these symptoms do not improve after changing the paper separation force, either replace the consumables or clean the inside of the scanner.
z Documents may be damaged if the paper separation force
is set too high. In that case, set the paper separation force lower.
Prevents pick error and paper jam
Prevents multifeed
The paper separation force is set to [] when the power has just been turned on. However, note that you can also have the paper separation force setting memorized by using the Software Operation Panel. For more details, refer to " Setting the Paper Separation
Force upon Turning the Power Off [Retain current paper thickness]" (page 219).
[Paper Separation Force] can also be displayed by shortcut key. To display the [Paper Separation Force] screen by shortcut key, press the [] or [] button when [Ready] is displayed. Change the paper separation force by using the [] or [] button.
