Safety
User Precautions
• Place the scanner on a sturdy, level work surface capable of supporting at least 31.75 kg (70 lbs) and leave adequate
clearance on all sides of the scanner.
• When relocating the scanner, it is recommended that two people lift the scanner and use safe lifting techniques.
• Do not install the scanner in a location subject to dust, humidity or steam. This may cause electrical shock or a fire. Only use
the scanner indoors in a dry location.
• Make sure the electrical power outlet is located within 1.52 meters (5 feet) of the scanner and is easily accessible.
• When disconnecting equipment from the electric socket, be sure to grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Be sure the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause electrical shock or fire.
• Do not damage, knot, cut or modify the power cord or use a damaged power cord. This may cause electrical shock or fire.
• The scanner requires a dedicated and properly grounded power outlet. Do not use an extension cord or power strip with the
scanner.
• Do not leave the power cord plugged into the AC outlet if the scanner is not used for an extended period of time.
• Leave sufficient space around the power outlet so it can be easily unplugged in case of an emergency.
• Do not use the scanner if it becomes inordinately hot, has a strange odor, emits smoke, or makes unfamiliar noises.
Immediately stop the scanner and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Contact Kodak Service.
• Do not disassemble, service or modify the scanner except as explained in the User’s Guide.
• When using the flatbed for unbound or single pages, keep the top lid closed while scanning.
• Do not move the scanner with the power cord and interface cable attached. This may cause damage to the cord/cable.
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet before moving or relocating the scanner.
• Follow the Kodak recommended cleaning procedures. Do not use air, liquid or gas spray cleaners. These cleaners displace
dust, dirt and debris to other locations within the scanner, which may cause the scanner to malfunction.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemical products are available on the Kodak website at: www .kodak.com/go/msds.
When accessing the MSDSs from the website, you will be required to provide the catalog number or keyword of the
consumable you want the Material Safety Data Sheet for. See the section entitled, “Supplies and consumables” later in this

adjustments
Before scanning documents, you may need to adjust your document
guides, feeder tray extension and exit stopper to accommodate the size
of the documents you are scanning. If necessary, the wire frame is
available if you are scanning documents of varying sizes.
• The document guides on the feeder tray can be moved in and out to
accommodate the size of the documents you are scanning.
• If you are scanning documents longer than 11 inches (279.4 mm),
pull the feeder tray extension out. The feeder tray extension will
support documents up to 15 inches (381 mm) long.
• To handle longer paper in the exit tray , extend the exit stopper. Adjust
the position of the exit stopper so that it will accommodate the length
of the documents. The exit stopper is adjustable to 17 inches (432
mm). When scanning a document longer than 17 inches (432 mm) or
A3 size (420 mm), fold down the exit stopper so that the longer paper
will fit in the exit tray.
• If you are feeding documents of varying sizes, attach the wire frame
to aid in document stacking. See the next section, “Attaching the wire
frame” for more information.

Changing the background
bars
There are two background bars located inside of the scanner; an upper
background bar and a lower background bar . Each bar has a white side
and a black side. These bars can be easily changed. The background
color is important because is may affect the cropping quality of the
scanned image.
Most of the time, you will scan your documents using the black
background. The black background can
improve imaging of documents
with very light contrast data and increase color uniformity.
You should use the white background if you are scanning translucent
documents. The white background will reduce black background bleedthrough, which produces whiter images.
The background color set up in your scanning application, must match
the color of the background bars.
To change the background bars:
1. Turn the scanner off and open the exit door.
2. Locate the lower background bar, place your finger on the right end
of the bar and push it to the left. Rotate the b ackground bar until the
desired color is showing. Release the pressure on the background
bar and verify it is locked in place.
3. Locate the upper background bar, place your finger on the left end
and push it to the right. Rotate the background bar until the desired
color is showing. Release the pressure on the background bar and
verify it is locked in place.
Both background bars should be the same color.
4. Gently close the exit door and turn the scanner on.

For best results, follow these guidelines for documents that will be
scanned using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder):
• Standard paper size documents feed easily through the scanner.
When organizing your documents for scanning, stack the document s
so the lead edges are aligned and centered in the feeder tray. This
allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a
time.
Maximum thickness: 2.0 to 5.9 mils (0.05 to 0.15 mm)
Maximum weight: 10.6 to 34 lbs. (40 to 127 g/m

Paper weight (g/m2)
Maximum number of sheets 320 260 200 170 160 140 120 100
• Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. St aples and
paper clips on documents may damage the scanner and documents.
• Glued or curled documents may cause a p aper jam or damage in the
ADF.
• All inks and correction fluids on the paper must be dry before
scanning is started.
• The height of the documents placed in the feeder tray must not
exceed the paper limit mark that appears on the right side of the
document guide. The following chart indicates the maximum number
of sheets that can be loaded on the feeder tray:
40 52 64 75 80 90 104 127
• Sheets that are exceptionally thick or thin should be placed in the
ADF manually, one sheet at a time, if you have a 3210 Scanner, you
can use the flatbed.

Scanning documents 1. Prepare the batch of documents you want to scan by following the
guidelines provided in the previous section, “Getting your
documents ready to scan”.
2. Place the documents you want to scan in the feeder tray with the
side to be scanned facing up. Slowly push the sheets into the
scanner transport.
NOTES:
• Do not overfill the feeder tray. The document stack should not
exceed the Paper Limit mark on the feeder tray.
• The guide on the ADF d oor provides a graphical document sizing
scale and a directional “Face Up” icon to aid in document
scanning.
• Use the Wire Frame attachment when scanning several
documents of varying sizes.
3. You are now ready to scan. Refer to the instructions for your
scanning application or document management software for more
