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
Realizes a scanning speed of 90 ppm/180 ipm [fi-8190/fi-8290] (*1) (*2), 70 ppm/140 ipm [fi-8170/fi-8270]
(*1), or 50 ppm/100 ipm [fi-8150/fi-8250/fi-8150U/fi-8250U] (*1). Furthermore, up to 100 sheets of
documents (*3) can be loaded for continuous scanning which enables you to quickly digitize a large volume of
documents.
The scanner can be connected via a wired LAN.
Even with a network connection, the scanning speed is equivalent to that of a USB connection.
During a network communication, in order to prevent information leaks due to interception of communications,
you can encrypt scanned images.
For details, refer to the Network Setup Tool for fi Series Help or Network Settings (fi Series Network Settings)
● Equipped with a Liquid Crystal Display [fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270]
The scanner mounts an LCD that displays various operational settings for scanning, number of pages scanned,
and error status.
This allows you to easily configure various operational settings for a scan or check the number of pages
scanned or the error status.
● Equipped with a Function Number Display [fi-8150/fi-8250/fi-8150U/fi-8250U]
The scanner mounts the Function Number Display that displays the error status.
This allows you to easily check the error status.
● Capable of scanning documents folded in half, envelopes, multi-layered transfer paper, and booklets such
as passports
This scanner mounts the [Manual Feed] button that is used to switch the mode to Manual Feed Mode.
Switching the mode to Manual Feed 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, such as A4 size wood-free paper and plastic cards, at once.
This simplifies the process of sorting the documents before scanning.
22
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, such as A4 size wood-free paper and plastic cards, 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 area 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 [fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270]
The scanner is equipped with a function that detects a paper jam by noise made while a document is being fed
and stops the scan.
This function reduces the risk of having valuable documents damaged.
● Paper protection function by monitoring documents that are fed skewed
The scanner is equipped with a function that detects a paper jam by the amount of skew that has occurred on a
document while it is being fed and stops the scan.
This function reduces the risk of having valuable documents damaged.
● Advanced image processing function
The scanner is equipped with a function that automatically detects whether a document is in color or
monochrome and then outputs an image of the document.
This function reduces the risk of color deviation or stripes from occurring on documents and allows you to
output highly reproducible images.
● Preventing images form missing any parts even if documents are fed skewed [fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/
fi-8270]
The scanner is equipped with a function that detects the top and bottom of a document when a document is
fed skewed and then outputs an image of the document.
