2 BASIC CONCEPTS

The following information will provide you with the basic concepts
associated with scanning documents.

Modes

The Scanner offers eighteen (18) modes which may be defined for a
particular application or group of applications.

When you select a mode for use with a particular application, you are
selecting the format/appearance of the output. Each mode consists of
definitions which affect the output of the Scanner. Required mode
definitions include index format, level to follow level rules, etc. Optional
mode definitions include a variety of accessory options, such as turning
the endorser on or off. The mode definitions are established during
installation.

Many of the optional mode definitions established during installation
may be overridden using function codes. The overrides are temporary,
unless during installation it is specified that the mode overrides be
saved. Upon execution of a function which overrides a prior definition, a
plus sign (+) will appear in the first line of the status display if the mode
overrides are saved.

Mode override indicator

0030.05.100.001 MODE 5 +

Linked modes

Linking modes eliminates the requirement of re-entering the Image
Address when changing from one mode to another. When two modes
are linked, you may change from one mode to another, maintaining the
Image Address.

Modes are linked by defining the same Index Format and Image
Address Fields (both number of fields and individual field lengths) during
installation.

NOTE: The Level Rule options defined during installation do not have to

be the same to link modes.

To change from one mode to another, maintaining the Image Address,
use Function Code F91.

2 - 1A-41069 January 1993

The following example illustrates the use of linked modes.

• Assume that in Mode 10:

- The Index Format is three-level.

- The Image Address Level 3 field length is three (3) characters; the

Image Address Level 2 field length is two (2) characters; the Image
Address Level 1 field length is four (4) characters.

- The Level Rules are: Level 1 followed by Level 1; Level 2 followed by

Level 1; and Level 3 followed by Level 3.

• Assume that in Mode 12:

- The Index Format is three-level.

- The Image Address Level 3 field length is two (2) characters; the

Image Address Level 2 field length is two (2) characters; the Image
Address Level 1 field length is five (5) characters.

- The Level Rules are: Level 1 followed by Level 2; Level 2 followed by

Level 2; and Level 3 followed by Level 2.

• Assume that in Mode 14:

- The Index Format is three-level.

- The Image Address Level 3 field length is two (2) characters; the

Image Address Level 2 field length is two (2) characters; the Image
Address Level 1 field length is five (5) characters.

- The Level Rules are: Level 1 followed by Level 1; Level 2 followed by

Level 1; and Level 3 followed by Level 2.

Mode 10 and Mode 12 may not be linked; the Image Address field
lengths are not the same.

Mode 10 and Mode 14 may not be linked; the Image Address field
lengths are not the same.

Mode 12 and Mode 14 may be linked; the Index Format is three-level;
and the Image Address has three fields, each with the same length

NOTE: If you are currently in Mode 12 and want to change to Mode 14,

note the affect of different level rules on the Image Address:
assume that the Image Address of the last document fed into
the transport is 01.05.01234. The next Image Address
displayed while still in Mode 12 is 01.06.00000. However, if you
change to Mode 14, using Function Code F91, the next Image
Address displayed in Mode 14 is 01.05.01234.

2 - 2 A-41069 January 1993

Image addresses

An Image Address is assigned to every document scanned. An Image
Address consists of four fields, each of which represent a different
document level. An Image Address has a maximum length of fifteen
(15) characters; twelve (12) alphanumerics (Field A, Field B, and Field C
must be numeric; the Fixed Field may contain alphanumerics) and three
(3) delimiters (inserted between fields).

The Image Address (number of fields and characters) is based upon the
indexing scheme chosen (refer to Indexing Schemes ).

Regardless of the indexing scheme used, the following four fields must
be defined during installation for each mode:

• Field A. A numeric field representing document Level 1.
Its value is incremented whenever a document is assigned Level 1.

• Field B. A numeric field representing document Level 2.
Its value is incremented whenever a document is assigned Level 2.

• Field C. A numeric field representing document Level 3.
Its value is incremented whenever a document is assigned Level 3.

• Fixed Field. An alphanumeric field containing fixed information;

typically, the date.

Assigning an image address

An example of an Image Address is:

1201.01.020.005

where:

• Field A (Level 1) contains 005.

• Field B (Level 2) contains 020.

• Field C (Level 3) contains 01.

• Fixed Field contains 1201.

An Image Address may be assigned or changed by pressing the NEXT key
or by entering Function Code F92. The NEXT key (or Function Code F97)
is used when setting/changing any or all of the Image Address fields.
Function Code F92 is used when setting/changing only the Fixed Field of
the Image Address.

2 - 3A-41069 January 1993

Using the NEXT key

Using function code F92

To set or change an Image Address using the NEXT key (or Function Code
F97), simply press the NEXT key or enter Function Code F97.

The next Image Address will be displayed. An entry cursor will appear over
the first character of the next Image Address. Simply enter the desired
Image Address or use the left and right arrow keys to position the entry
cursor over the character to be set/changed and enter the desired value.
The Plus key (+) may also be used to move the entry cursor to the first
character in the next Image Address field, leaving the current Image
Address field unchanged.

All numeric keys (0 - 9) and the decimal key have dedicated keys on the
keyboard and can be entered directly.

For example if the current Image Address is 1201.01.020.005 and you want
to change it to 1201.02.000.000, the following steps would be used:

• Press the NEXT key or enter Function Code F97.
The entry cursor will appear over the first Fixed Field character
(1201.01.020.005).

• Press the Plus key (+) to leave the Image Address Field (1201)
unchanged.

• Enter .02.000.000.

• Press Enter to exit, saving the changes to the Image Address and
return to a normal operating display.

To set or change the Image Address Fixed Field, enter Function Code F92.
The number of characters in the Image Address Fixed Field is defined

during installation for each mode. Using Function Code F92, you will not be
allowed to enter more than the predefined number of characters.

The Fixed Field of the Image Address will be displayed. An entry cursor will
appear over the first character of the Fixed Field.

To enter numeric characters, simply input the desired value using the
numeric keys (0 - 9) on the keyboard and press Enter to input the value.

To enter alpha characters, you must enter the alpha entry mode by
pressing either the up or down arrow key. A portion of the alpha character
set will be displayed, with a flashing cursor appearing over one of the
characters.
If the desired alpha character does not appear in the display, press either
the up or down arrow key to display another portion of the alphabet.

The alpha character set consists of: upper-case English characters (A-Z), a
space ( ), six special characters ($ * - : < >), a dieresis (ä), beta (ß), n tilde
(ñ), o dieresis (ö), and u dieresis (ü).

NOTE: The plus sign (+) is also an acceptable character, input from the

control panel. However, it cannot be input as the first character
in the Fixed Field.

2 - 4 A-41069 January 1993

Once the desired alpha character appears in the display, it may be selected
for input into the Fixed Field. To input the desired alpha character, use the
left or right arrow key to move the flashing cursor over the desired alpha
character. Press Enter to place the alpha character in the Fixed Field.

Repeat the process of entering alpha entry mode, and entering an alpha
character for each Fixed Field character.

For example, if the current Image Address Fixed Field is 1201 and you
want to change it to DEC5, the following steps would be used:

• Enter Function Code F92.
The entry cursor will appear over the first Fixed Field character
(1201).

• Press the up or down arrow key to enter alpha entry mode.

• Make sure that the letter D is displayed. If not, press the up or down
arrow key until the letter is displayed.

• Use the left or right arrow key to position the flashing cursor over the
letter D.

• Press Enter to place the letter D in the first Fixed Field character
position. Only the letter D will appear in the display, with the entry
cursor appearing in the next character position.

• Press the up or down arrow key to enter alpha entry mode.

• Make sure that the letter E is displayed. If not, press the up or down
arrow key until the letter is displayed.

• Use the left or right arrow key to position the flashing cursor over the
letter E.

• Press Enter to place the letter E in the second Fixed Field character
position. The letters DE will appear in the display, with the entry
cursor appearing in the next character position.

• Press the up or down arrow key to enter alpha entry mode.

• Make sure that the letter C is displayed. If not, press the up or down
arrow key until the letter is displayed.

• Use the left or right arrow key to position the flashing cursor over the
letter C.

• Press Enter to place the letter C in the third Fixed Field character
position. The letters DEC will appear in the display, with the entry
cursor appearing in the next character position.

• Press the numeric key 5 to place the number 5 in the fourth Fixed
Field character position.

• Press Enter to exit Function Code F92. saving the changes to the
Image Address and return to a normal operating display.

2 - 5A-41069 January 1993

Image address formats The Image Address may be displayed in the status display, and printed

on the original document(s) as they are transported through the system.
The format in which the Image Address appears when displayed,

written, or printed is defined during installation for each mode.

The written/printed Image Address may appear in one of three formats:

• Display leading zeros format

004.003.002.001

• Suppress leading zeros format

004. 3. 2. 1

• Compress leading zeros format

004.3.2.1

NOTE: The format chosen does not affect the Fixed Field of the Image

Address; it is always displayed and printed in its entirety.

Indexing schemes

The purpose of scanning documents is to record the information
contained on the documents in an easily accessible form.

In order to access or retrieve the information recorded, an indexing
scheme is used to assist you in locating the desired information.

The indexing scheme is defined during installation for each mode.

The Scanner offers five indexing schemes:

• Single Level.

• Two Level.

• Two Level Offset.

• Three Level.

• Three Level Offset.

2 - 6 A-41069 January 1993

Single level indexing

When using this scheme, the Image Address (IA) assigned to each
document is defined as follows:

• Field A (Level 1) is defined as having a field length greater than zero.

• Field B (Level 2) is defined as having a field length of zero.

• Field C (Level 3) is defined as having a field length of zero.

• Fixed Field may be defined, if desired.

Example of single level indexing

Let's use the scanning of a book as an example. Assume that the book
has fifty (50) pages.

The Image Address has been defined:

• Field A has a field length of three (3) characters.

• Field B has zero (0) characters.

• Field C has zero (0) characters.

• Fixed Field has zero (0) characters.

Page 1 Image Address 001

Page 2 Image Address 002

Page 3 Image Address 003

. . .

Page 50 Image Address 050

The first page is assigned Image Address 001. The second page is
assigned Image Address 002, and so on, through the remainder of the
book.

Any one of the fifty pages may later be located and retrieved using its
unique Image Address.

2 - 7A-41069 January 1993

Two level indexing

Example of two level indexing

When using this scheme, the Image Address (IA) assigned to each
document is defined as follows:

• Field A (Level 1) is defined as having a field length greater than
zero.

• Field B (Level 2) is defined as having a field length greater than
zero.

• Field C (Level 3) is defined as having a field length of zero.

• Fixed Field may be defined, if desired.

Let's use the scanning of a book as an example. Assume that the
book contains two chapters; Chapter 1 has forty (40) pages and
Chapter 2 has sixty (60) pages.

The Image Address has been defined:

• Field A has three (3) characters.

• Field B has two (2) characters.

• Field C has zero (0) characters.

• Fixed Field has zero (0) characters.

Three level indexing

When using this scheme, the Image Address (IA) assigned to each
document is defined as follows:

• Field A (Level 1) is defined as having a field length greater than zero.

• Field B (Level 2) is defined as having a field length greater than zero.

• Field C (Level 3) is defined as having a field length greater than zero.

• Fixed Field may be defined, if desired.

Example of three level indexing

Let's use the scanning of a book as an example. Assume that the book
contains two sections; Section One contains two chapters, each having
forty (40) pages; Section Two contains only one chapter, having
one-hundred twenty (120) pages.

The Image Address has been defined:

• Field A has three (3) characters.

• Field B has two (2) characters.

• Field C has one (1) character.

• Fixed Field has zero (0) characters.

Controlling document level changes

Throughout the Indexing Schemes examples, you have seen document
levels change within a single group of documents. There are four
document image levels: 3, 2, 1, and 0.

There are a number of ways in which user can set or change the
document level:

• You may press a document Level Key on the Control Panel to assign
a document Level 3, 2, or 1.

• You may use Function Code F07 to assign a document Level 0.

• You may use the optional KODAK IMAGELINK™ Footswitch
accessory; pressing, pressing and holding, or releasing the Footswitch
can change document levels.

• You may use the optional KODAK IMAGELINK™ Patch Reader
accessory; feeding a document containing a particular type of patch
can change document levels.

If the user does not set or change the document level using one of the
methods listed, the document level will be set automatically based upon
the Level Rules (i.e., Level 2 is followed by Level 1, etc.) defined during
installation for each mode.

The following diagram illustrates how document levels are set or
changed:

Batching

A batch is defined as a specific number of documents of a given level
(Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3). Prior to processing, a predefined action
may take place. During processing, when the specified number of
documents of the given level have been processed, a predefined action
will take place.

The start-of-batch and end-of-batch actions are defined during
installation for each mode.

When batching is enabled in the current mode, a B will appear in the
first line of the status display.

Special considerations

Checking the meters

The topics presented in this section apply to the general usage of the
Scanner.

Checking the meters is useful in determining:

• maintenance schedules.

• the length of time required to complete a job.

To view the run time display, enter Function Code F17. The display will
show three (3) meters: Meter A shows the number of motor-on hours;
Meter B shows the number of transport-on hours; and Meter C shows
the number of AC-on hours. Press the right arrow key to view each
meter in turn. In addition, the non-resettable document count is shown
as Meter D.

Scanning considerations

The topics presented in this section apply to document scanning.

Image headers

Image Headers are created when documents are scanned. Each
scanned document has its own individual image header, containing
information such as:

• Document number (sequential number)

• Image size

• Document Level

• Mode

• Line length

• Page length

• Image Address

• Compression type

• Date

• Time

• Resolution

• Bit Order

• Skew

• Header flags

• Optional information (i.e., bar code information)

The document image header is sent ahead of the scanned document
image to the host computer. The image header and document image
are then stored on a magnetic or optical disk media. The information
contained in the header is later used to retrieve the document images
(most often using the Image Address or bar code information stored in
the header).

Header flags

2 - 18 A-41069 January 1993

Header flags are used to alert the host system that the document(s) fed
into the transport are of special interest. There are two types of flags:
latched and momentary.

The latched flag is activated by performing Function Code F73.
When the latched flag is set, the Image Header for the current document
(or the next document fed into the transport) and all documents which
follow will contain a header flag. The latched flag will remain activated
until it is turned off by again performing Function Code F73.

NOTE: A flag symbol will appear in the first line of the status display

until the latched flag is turned off.

The momentary flag is activated by performing Function Code F74.
When the momentary flag is set, the Image Header for the current
document (or the next document fed into the transport) only will contain
a header flag.

3 GETTING STARTED

The following steps are necessary to prepare the Scanner for operation:

• Turn on the Main Power Switch (located at the rear of the machine).

• Turn on the Side Panel Switch.

• Select the language display.

• Calibrate the Scanner.

• Adjust the Feed and Separator Roller gap.

• Adjust the Feed Shelf position.

• Adjust the Feed Shelf Side Guides.

• Adjust the Exit Hopper Side Guides and End Stop.

• Change the Deflector (if required).

• Prepare documents for scanning.

Turning on the Scanner

Selecting the language display

The following steps are required to power on the Scanner:

1. Turn on the Main Power Switch (located at the rear of the
machine).

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn off the Main Power Switch during

normal daily operation.

2. Turn on the Side Panel Switch.

0030.05.100.001 MODE 1

The Scanner may have been configured at installation to allow use of a
second language in the status display. The language used (French,
German, Italian, Spanish, or other) is defined during installation. If
available, the alternate language display may be accessed using Function
Code F19.

A-41069 January 1993

3 - 1

Calibrating the Scanner

Calibration sets the intensity of the lamps, which contribute to the overall
quality of the scanned document image.

The Scanner should be calibrated:

• At least once a day when the Scanner is turned on using the Side
Panel Switch - prior to scanning documents.

• Any time the Scanner is turned on using the Main Power Switch.

• If image quality is poor.

• After changing lamps.

Calibrate the Scanner using a calibration target (sheet of paper) that is:

• Blank.

• Clean.

• Matte finish (not glossy).

• White or the same color as the background color of the documents to
be scanned. If you are scanning a variety of colored documents, use
a white calibration target.

• Wider than the documents you are going to scan (i.e. to scan 8.5 x 11
inch (215.9 x 279.4 mm) documents, the calibration target should be
wider than 8.5 inches/215.9 mm). The recommended width for the
calibration target is 12 inches (300 mm).

1. Verify that the Main Power Switch (located at the rear of the

Scanner) and Side Panel Switch are on. A normal operating Status
Display should appear.

2. Press P-Key P1 or enter Function Code F37 to initiate the

calibration sequence.

3. Insert the calibration target into the feeder.

Calibration
Target

When the calibration is successful, the Status Display will return to a
normal operating display.

3 - 2 A-41069 January 1993

Unsuccessful calibration If the calibration is not successful, a message will appear in the Status

Display.

You may need to:

• Verify that you are using a clean, blank sheet of paper as a calibration
target.

• Verify that there is not a document already in the document path.
Refer to Troubleshooting - Clearing the document path.

• Clean the Imaging Guides. Refer to Maintenance - Cleaning the
imaging guides.

• Calibrate the Scanner again. If this calibration attempt fails, change
the lamps. Refer to Maintenance - Replacing the exposure lamps.

If the required action has been taken and another calibration attempt
fails, contact your local service representative.

A-41069 January 1993

Adjusting the feed and separator roller gap

The gap adjustment knob on the Control Panel increases or decreases
the space between the feed and separator rollers. The gap must be
adjusted properly for smooth transportation of documents without
document overlap.

When documents of different thicknesses are fed in a group, adjust the
gap using the thinnest document in the group.

The feed and separator roller gap may have to be adjusted to
compensate for:

• Very thin documents (onion skin, tracing paper, etc.).

• Very thick documents (card stock, punch cards, cover stock).

• Some coated documents (photographic paper, plastic-coated paper).

If the gap is not adjusted properly:

• More than one document at a time may be drawn into the transport
system at the same time; not all of the documents will be scanned.

• Documents may be drawn into the transport too quickly; documents
may overlap or be spaced to closely (causing an error display).

• Documents may become skewed during transport; jamming may
occur.

NOTE: Prior to performing the adjustment procedure outlined in this

section, the Scanner must be calibrated and enabled.

1. Turn on the Side Panel Switch.

2. Enter Function Code F04 and enable counting-only.

3. Press Enter.

4. Press Run.

IMPORTANT: Do not make a gap adjustment while documents are in

the feeder or transport system; doing so will produce an
inaccurate adjustment.

3 - 4 A-41069 January 1993

5. Turn the Gap Adjustment Knob clockwise three complete turns to
open the gap between the feed and separator rollers.

6. Select two documents of the same size, texture and thickness,
similar to the types of documents you will be processing.

7. Place one document on top of the other. Hold them firmly by their
trailing edges. Insert them into the gap approximately 0.125 (1/8)
inch (3 mm).

If the documents separate, repeat the following steps until the
documents do not separate:

a. Turn the Gap Adjustment Knob clockwise one-half (1/2) turn.
b. Insert the documents again.
If the documents do not separate, proceed with Step 8.

8. Rotate the Gap Adjustment Knob counterclockwise one or two
clicks.

9. Hold the trailing edges of the documents firmly. Insert them into the
gap.

If the bottom document is not separating from the top document,
remove the documents and repeat Steps 8 and 9 until the bottom
document separates from the top document.

A-41069 January 1993

If the bottom document is separating from the top document,
proceed with Step 10.

3 - 5

10. When you have adjusted the gap so that the bottom document
separates consistently from the top document, rotate the Gap
Adjustment Knob counterclockwise another one or two clicks to
complete the adjustment.

11. Feed a stack of fifty (50) to one-hundred (100) documents twice
through the transport system. Verify that the final count reflects the
total number of documents that were fed and that the counter shows
the same amount each time the documents are counted.

If the count is not the same, the gap is not adjusted correctly. Rotate
the Gap Adjustment Knob counterclockwise another one or two
clicks and repeat Step 10. Repeat until corrected.

12. Press Stop.

13. Enter Function Code F04 and disable counting-only.

14. Press Enter.

3 - 6 A-41069 January 1993

Adjusting the feed shelf position

Before you begin feeding documents into the Scanner, adjust the
position of the Feed Shelf:

Feed Shelf

Work Shelf

Notch

Groove

Height
Adjustment
Legs

To automatically feed multiple documents, the feed shelf should be in
the raised position (as shown above). To raise the feed shelf, grasp the
notch and lift the feed shelf. Swing the height adjustment legs out and
insert them into the groove on the work shelf.

To hand feed documents (one at a time), the feed shelf should be in the
down position (not shown). To lower the feed shelf, grasp the notch and
lift the feed shelf until the height adjustment legs are no longer resting in
the groove on the work shelf. Tuck the height adjustment legs in and
gently lower the feed shelf into position, level with the work shelf.

Adjusting the feed shelf side guides

Before you begin processing documents, adjust the side guides on the
feed shelf to accomodate the documents being processed.

2. Slide apart the Side Guides on the Feed Shelf until the Feed Shelf
Label is visible.

Center line

2. Center the documents across the feed shelf label. Adjust the feeder
side guides dependent upon the width of the document. Leave
approximately 0.0625 (1/16) inch (2 mm) clearance on each side of
the documents so that they will feed properly.

NOTE: If the documents are larger than the area shown on the

Feed Shelf Label and do not fit between the Side Guides,
rotate and reposition the documents within the Side Guides.

3 - 8 A-41069 January 1993

Adjusting the exit hopper side guides and end stop

The Exit Hopper Side Guides and End Stop must be adjusted so that
documents will be stacked properly after processing.

1. Adjust the Side Guides on the Exit Hopper to match the adjustment

of the Side Guides on the Feed Shelf.

2. Adjust the End Stop of the Exit Hopper by determining the longest

document to be processed. Slide the End Stop until the Arrows
point to where the length of the longest document is shown on the
Exit Hopper Label.

A-41069 January 1993

3 - 9

Changing the deflector

The Scanner comes with two deflectors (stored in the pocket located
inside the right-side access door), designed to help stack the documents
as they exit the transport system and enter the exit hopper.

Use the short deflector for documents less than 5 inches (13 cm) and
the long deflector for documents longer than 5 inches (13 cm) as well as
for mixed sizes.

1. Grasp the deflector near the attachment pin (as shown).

2. Guide the deflector into the exit hopper, just below the lip of the
hopper, to insert the attachment pin in the holding clip.

3. Pull the deflector toward you until it clicks into place.

3 - 10 A-41069 January 1993

Preparing documents for scanning

Before you begin processing documents, make certain that the
documents may be fed through the Scanner easily:

• Remove any staples, rubber bands, loose mending tape, or paper

clips from the documents to be processed.

• Straighten wrinkled edges and tape any torn documents.

• Trim ragged edges.
When using the automatic feeder, make certain all documents are of

similar size and, texture, thickness, and weight, and that the leading
edges of all documents are aligned.

4 OPERATING THE SCANNER

Overview

The scanning process consists of the following steps:

1. The Scanner is prepared for operation (refer to

2. The Scanner is enabled by the host system.

3. A mode is selected for the application. Typically this step is

performed by the host computer, but it may also be performed by
the operator.

4. Temporary operating values are selected (if required).

5. The Run key is pressed.

6. Documents are fed into the transport.

• The Scanner assigns a Sequential ID Number (for digital image
storage), the document Image Level and Image Address.

• The document is scanned.

• The document Image Header is created.

• The host computer initiates transfer of the document Image
Header and document image to the host system for storage on
magnetic or optical disk media.

Getting Started ).

Documents are deposited in the exit hopper, face down, in the
order in which they were fed into the transport.

7. The Stop key is pressed.

8. A Scanner End-of-Job is executed.

9. The side panel switch is turned off until ready for the next
application.

The main power switch is turned off (optional - performed only when
the Scanner will be out of operation for more than eight (8) hours;
not necessary during normal daily operation).

A-41069 August 1995

4 - 1

Selecting a mode

The Scanner offers eighteen (18) modes which may be programmed for
a particular application or group of applications.

The modes are programmed at the time of installation and stored for
easy access and use.

Typically, the mode will be selected via the host system, using a
scanner-unique command. However, the operator may manually select
a mode.

There are two methods which may be used by the operator to select a
mode:

• Use Function Code F01, Select Mode, to enter a mode number.

- Press the F key.

- Press the numeric key 0 and then 1.

- Press Enter.

- Press the numeric keys which correspond to the desired mode.
(i.e., to enter mode number 15, press the numeric key 1 and then 5.)

- Press Enter.

• The mode selection function may be preprogrammed and accessible

using one of the P-keys. Ask your system administrator if any one
of the P-keys has been programmed to perform this function.

Temporary operating values

Each of the eighteen (18) modes which are programmed at the time of
installation contain definitions which affect the output of the Scanner.
Each mode is programmed to conform to the output requirements of a
particular application or group of applications.

There may be instances, however, when a particular application
requires some variation of an existing mode. In such instances, mode
definitions may be changed using available Function Codes.

NOTE: Changes to mode definitions will remain in effect until another

mode is selected or the side panel switch is turned off. The
original mode definition is only affected by these changes if the
mode overrides are saved (the mode override option may be
selected at installation and if selected, a plus sign (+) will
appear in the first line of the status display).

Example:
Assume that mode 15 contains definitions which allow use of the

KODAK IMAGELINK™ Endorser. The starting print position (which
defines how far from the leading edge of the document the endorsement
is printed) is programmed to be 0.5 inches.

4 - 2

If there is a special application which requires that the endorsement be
printed 1.0 inch from the leading edge of the document, you may use
Function Code F59 to temporarily change the starting print position.

A-41069 August 1995

Feeding documents

After the Scanner has been prepared for operation and the desired
mode and any temporary operating values have been defined, you are
ready to feed documents into the transport.

1. Verify that the side panel switch is on. Also verify that all of the
proper adjustments have been made (feeder side guides, exit
hopper side guides, etc.).

2. Press the Run key.

3. Select a stack of documents which is no more than 1.5 inch thick.

4. Fan the stack of documents so that the leading edge of the top
document will engage the feed/separator rollers first (refer to the
illustration above).

5. Place the stack of fanned documents into the feeder so that the
leading edge of the top document contacts the feed/separator
rollers. The documents will be drawn into the transport, with the top
document being fed first. The documents will be deposited in the
exit hopper face down, in the order in which they were fed into the
transport.

6. Repeat steps (3) through (5) until all of the application documents
have been fed into the transport.

7. Press the Stop key after all documents have been deposited in the
exit hopper.

A-41069 August 1995

Feeding thick documents

The Gap Release Lever is used to feed thick documents such as card
stock or cover stock. The lever is located on the front panel of the
Scanner, next to the gap adjustment knob.

1. Press down and hold the gap release lever. This opens the gap
between the feed and separator rollers, allowing thick documents to
pass between them. You will be able to see the gap open as the
lever is pushed down.

2. Insert the thick document past the rollers until it is taken into the
transport system.

NOTE: If more than one thick document is to be scanned,

feed them into the transport one at a time.

4 - 4

3. After the thick document(s) have been scanned, release the gap
release lever. It will return to its original position. The feed and
separator rollers will return to their previously adjusted positions.
