Scanner Overview
This section explains the main features of this product, the names of parts and their functions.
Main Features
The scanner is equipped with the following features:
● High speed scanning
The scanner has achieved a scanning speed of 60 ppm/120 ipm (*1).
Furthermore, up to 80 sheets of documents (*2) can be loaded for continuous scanning which enables you to
quickly digitize a large volume of documents.
● Network connection
The scanner can be connected via Wi-Fi or a wired LAN.
Even with a network connection, a scanning speed of 60 ppm/120 ipm (*1) is possible.
A USB cable is not required to connect the scanner and a computer so that the scanner can be placed
anywhere.
● Touch screen
The scanner has a 4.3-inch TFT color touch screen which enables you to operate the scanner with simple actions
such as seeing and touching.
The touch screen also enables you to specify various operational settings for scanning documents and check
the number of sheets scanned or the error status with ease.
● Contactless smart card reader
The scanner has a contactless smart card reader which enables you to easily log into the scanner by holding a
smart card over the scanner.
● Capable of scanning documents folded in half, envelopes, multi-layered transfer paper
In order to scan documents folded in half, envelopes, and multi-layered transfer paper, the scanner is equipped
with a feed mode switch that is used to switch the mode to Manual Single Mode.
Manual Single Mode reduces the load on documents being fed so that documents are fed and scanned
successfully.
● Improved efficiency for pre-scan work
The scanner can perform "mixed batch scanning" which allows you to scan documents with different paper
weights and sizes at once.
This simplifies the process of sorting the documents before scanning.
17
Scanner Overview
● Reduced work loss caused by multifeeds
The scanner has ultrasonic multifeed sensors that accurately detect "multifeed" errors where two or more sheets
are fed through the scanner at once.
This detection for overlapped documents is reliable even when scanning a mixed batch of documents with
different paper weights and sizes, avoiding potential work loss.
● Intelligent multifeed detection function
When there is paper of the same size attached to a designated location on the page, the intelligent multifeed
detection function enables the scanner to recognize the location of the attachment.
The scanner does not detect the recognized area where the attachment is on as overlapping of documents so
that scanning can continue.
● Paper protection function by detecting paper jam noise
This function reduces the risk of having the valuable documents damaged by stopping the scan when the
scanner detects paper jam noise.
● Advanced image processing function
The automatic color detection function outputs images in color or monochrome depending on the document
content.
● Capable of scanning photographs and clippings
The Carrier Sheet is available as an option in order to scan photographs and clippings. Multiple Carrier Sheets
can be scanned in one go, and can be mixed with regular documents in the same batch.
● Centralized operation of multiple scanners
With PaperStream NX Manager, multiple scanners can be operated together.
For example, you can specify users who can use the scanners and specify scanning menus that are customized
for each user, and distribute them to the scanners.
You can also save images in a specified linked destination, and monitor the processing status of images.
For details, refer to the PaperStream NX Manager User's Guide.
The PaperStream NX Manager User's Guide can be downloaded from the following web page:
http://www.fujitsu.com/global/support/computing/peripheral/scanners/manual/
● Centralized management of multiple scanners
With Scanner Central Admin Server, multiple scanners can be managed together.
For example, the application can be used to update the setting information and the firmware update module
for all scanners at once, and check the operating status of each scanner.
When PaperStream NX Manager is not used, you can use Scanner Central Admin Agent to link with Scanner
Central Admin Server (*3).
For details, refer to the Scanner Central Admin User's Guide.
*1:
When A4 size documents are scanned at 200/300 dpi using JPEG compression.

Scanner Overview
*2:When the paper weight is 80 g/m2 (20 lb).

Precautions
● Notes on the documents to be scanned
Depending on the documents to be scanned, take note of the following.
● Since carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may harm the rollers such as the brake roller and
pick roller, take note of the following:
- Cleaning
If paper jams occur frequently, clean the brake roller and pick roller.
For details, refer to Daily Care (page 112).
- Replacing the consumables
The life of the brake roller and pick roller may end sooner compared to scanning wood-free papers.
● When scanning wood containing papers, the life of the brake roller and pick roller may end sooner compared
to scanning wood-free papers.
● The brake roller and pick roller may be damaged when a photo/sticky note on a document comes into contact
with these parts during scanning.
● The surface of the document may be damaged when gloss papers such as photographs are scanned.
● The light of the LED may reflect brightly when gloss papers are scanned.
● When scanning semi-transparent documents, set [Brightness] higher in the scanner driver to avoid bleed-
through.
● When you scan documents written in lead pencil, make sure you clean the rollers frequently.
For details about cleaning, refer to Daily Care (page 112).
● If documents are not fed, or documents are fed overlapped or jammed frequently, refer to Troubleshooting
(page 159).
● All documents must be flat on the leading edge.
Make sure that curls on the leading edge of the documents are kept within the following range.
● Notes on plastic cards
When you scan plastic cards, take note of the following.
● Make sure you use a card that contains the following specifications, and check if the card can be fed before
scanning it.
- Type: Compliant with the ISO7810 ID-1 type
- Size: 85.6 × 53.98 mm
81
- Thickness: 1.4 mm or less
- PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PVCA (polyvinyl chloride acetate)
● Up to three plastic cards can be loaded in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
Note that you can only load one card at a time if the plastic card is embossed.
How to Load Documents
● It is recommended that the card should be placed face-down in the ADF paper chute.
● Thick or rigid cards that are difficult to bend may be fed skewed.
● If there is dirt on the surface of the card, such as grease marks (fingerprints), perform scanning after wiping
the dirt off.
● Scanning a thick document such as a plastic card will always be falsely detected as overlapped documents.
In that case, specify one of the following settings and try scanning again.
- Use the intelligent multifeed detection function.
- Disable the setting to detect overlapped documents by the ultrasonic sensor.
- Scan with Manual Single Mode.

Detecting Overlapped Documents according to the Difference in Length
● Load the documents of the same length in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
● Variation in document lengths: 1% or less
● Do not punch holes within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of the document.
Refer to Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 84).
Detecting Overlapped Documents with the Ultrasonic Sensor and According to the Difference in Length
● Load the documents of the same length in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
● Paper weight: 27 to 413 g/m2 (7.2 to 110 lb)
● Variation in document lengths: 1% or less
● Do not punch holes within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of the document.
Refer to Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 84).
● Do not attach other documents with glue or other adhesive within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of
the document.
Refer to Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 84).
ATTENTION
● The above condition applies when the document is set to the center of the pick roller width.
● When an option to detect overlapping with the ultrasonic sensor is selected, scanning a thick document
such as a plastic card will be falsely detected as overlapping of documents.
In that case, specify one of the following settings and try scanning again.
- Use the intelligent multifeed detection function.
- Disable the setting to detect overlapped documents by the ultrasonic sensor.
- Scan with Manual Single Mode.
85
How to Load Documents
HINT
● The accuracy of detection for overlapped documents may drop depending on the document type.
Overlapping cannot be detected for the top 30 mm (1.18 in.) of a document in the feeding direction.
● On the [Multifeed Detection Area] screen, you can specify an area not to detect overlapping of documents
within the area described in Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 84).
The [Multifeed Detection Area] screen can be displayed in the following procedure:
→ [Scanner Settings] → [Paper Source/Feeding] → [Multifeed Detection Area]
When using the Software Operation Panel, refer to Settings Related to the Detection for Overlapped
Documents (Multifeed) (page 283).
86
Conditions for Mixed Batch Scanning
The following conditions apply when a mixed batch of documents with different paper weights/friction
coefficients/sizes is scanned.
Make sure to test a few sheets first to check if the mixed batch of documents can be fed.
Paper Direction
Align the direction of the paper fiber with the feed direction.
Paper Weight (Thickness)
Documents with the following paper weights can be scanned when scanning a mixed batch of documents
with different paper weights:
27 to 413 g/m2 (7.2 to 110 lb)
Friction Coefficient
It is recommended that the same paper brand from the same manufacturer is used for documents.
When different paper manufacturers/brands are mixed in documents to be scanned, it affects the feeding
performance as the difference in friction coefficient increases.
The following friction coefficients are recommended:
0.35 to 0.60 (reference value for paper friction coefficient)
How to Load Documents
Document Position
Load all documents covering the width of the pick roller.
For a guideline for mixed batch scanning, refer to Combinations of Standard Paper Sizes in a Mixed Batch
(page 89) in Paper Size (page 88).
87
How to Load Documents
HINT
When the smallest document covers the width of the pick roller even when it is loaded towards one side
as shown in the image below, load documents aligned on one side. So that it prevents documents from
skewing when being fed.
Paper Size
When a mixed batch with different sizes is scanned, not feeding the documents straight may cause
troubles such as paper jams or part of the image to appear missing.
It is recommended that you check the scanned images if the documents were fed skewed.
ATTENTION
● When a mixed batch with different sizes is scanned, documents are more likely to skew because the
side guides do not contact every sheet.
● Do not specify the detection method by document length when scanning a mixed batch of documents
with different lengths and detecting overlapped documents.
88
Combinations of Standard Paper Sizes in a Mixed Batch
Refer to the table below for a guideline of the range available for mixed batch scanning.

91
How to Load Documents
● Depending on the image scanning application, there may be insufficient memory to perform a
[Double-page spread] scan using the Carrier Sheet in high resolution.
In that case, specify a lower resolution and try scanning again.
● Do not write on, color, stain, or cut the end with a black and white pattern on the Carrier Sheet.
Otherwise, the Carrier Sheet may not be recognized correctly.
● Do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down.
Otherwise, a paper jam may occur and damage the Carrier Sheet and the document inside.
● Do not leave a document inside the Carrier Sheet for a long time.
Otherwise, the ink on the document may be transferred onto the Carrier Sheet.
● Do not leave the Carrier Sheet in high temperature places such as under direct sunlight or near a heating
apparatus for a long time.
Also, do not use the Carrier Sheet in such environments.
Otherwise, the Carrier Sheet may deform.
● Do not fold or pull the Carrier Sheet.
● Do not use a damaged Carrier Sheet.
Doing so may damage or cause the scanner to malfunction.
● To avoid deformation, keep the Carrier Sheet on a flat surface without any weight on it.
● Do not slide your finger on the edge of the Carrier Sheet.
Doing so may cut your finger.
● If paper jams occur frequently, feed about 50 sheets of PPC paper (recycled paper) before scanning with
the Carrier Sheet.
The PPC paper can either be blank or printed.
● Paper jams may occur when several small documents (such as photos or postcards) are placed in the
Carrier Sheet for scanning.
It is recommended to place only one document at a time in the Carrier Sheet.
