A-61092 September 1999 2-1

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

• after cleaning the scanner or imaging guides

Calibrate the scanner using a calibration targ et (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 color ed docum ents, use a white calibration target.

• Wider than t he docum ents 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).

To calibrate the scanner:

1. Verify the main power and side panel switches are on. A normal operating status display should appear.

2. Press CAL or enter function code F37 to start the calibration sequence.

3. Insert the calibration target int o t he feeder.

When calibration is successful, the status display returns to a normal operating display.

2-2 A-61092 September 1999

Unsuccessful calibration

If calibration is not successful, a message appears in the status display.

You may need to:

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

• Verify there is not a document already in the document path. (Refer

to the section entitled, “Clearing the document path” in Chapter 7.)

• Clean the imaging guides. (Refer to the section entit led “Cleaning the imaging guides” in Chapter 5.)

• Calibrate the scanner again. If calibration fails again, change t he lamps. (Refer to the section entit led, “Replacing the exposure lamps” in Chapter 5.)

If you have done all of the above and calibration still fails, contact your service representative.

Preparing documents for scanning

Before you begin processing documents, m ake 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 t he semi-automatic feeder, make certain all documents are of similar size, texture, thick ness and weight , and the leading edges of all documents are aligned.

A-61092 September 1999 2-3

Adjusting the feed

and separator roller

(semi-automatic

gap

feeder only)

IMPORTANT:

The gap adjustment k nob on t he control panel increases or decreases the space between the feed and separator rollers. The gap must be adjusted properly for smooth t r anspor tat ion of documents without document overlap.

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

The feed and separator roller gap m ay have to be adjust ed to compensate for:

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

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

Before adjusting the feed and separator roller gap, be sure the feed and separator rollers are clean. Cleaning the feed and separator rollers will frequently resolve document feeding problems.

The adjustment procedure should only be done when feeding and separating problems continue after the fee and separator rollers have been cleaned. For procedures on cleaning rollers, see Chapter 5, Maintenance.

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

If the gap is not adjust ed pr operly:

• 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 too closely (causing an error display).

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

NOTE: Prior to performing the adjustment procedure, t he scanner

must be calibrated and enabled.

To adjust the feed and separator roller gap:

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.

5. Turn the gap adjustment knob clockwise three com plet e turns, or until it stops, to open the gap between the feed and separat or rollers.

8. Place one document on top of the other. Hold the documents firmly by their trailing edges. I nser t them into the gap approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm).

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

• Turn the gap adjustment knob clockwise 1/2 tur n.

• Insert the documents again.

If the documents do not separate, proceed with Step 9.

9. Rotate the gap adjustment knob counterclockwise 1 or 2 clicks.

10. Hold the trailing edges of the documents firm ly. Insert them into the gap.

• If the bottom document is not separating from the top document ,

remove the documents and repeat Steps 9 and 10 until the bottom document separates from the top document by approximately 1 in. (25.4 mm).

• If the bottom document is separat ing from the top document,

proceed with Step 11.

A-61092 September 1999 2-5

11. When you have adjusted the gap so the bottom document

separates consistently from the top document , rotate the gap adjustment knob counterclockwise another 1 or 2 clicks to complete the adjustment.

12. Feed a stack of 50 to 100 documents twice through the transport system. Verify the final count reflects the total number of docum ents 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 cor r ectly.

Rotate the gap adjustment knob counterclockwise another 1 or 2 clicks and repeat Step 12. Repeat until corrected.

13. Press Stop.

14. Enter function code F04 and disable Counting Only.

Clearing the document path

If a document becomes lodged in t he scanner t r ansport system, the system stops running and a message appears in the status display.

A document can become lodged in the transport system when:

• Documents are not fed straight (skewed).

• Documents are torn, badly folded, or wrinkled.

• Staples and paper clips were not removed from documents.

• Imaging guides are not seated properly or are not installed.

• Transport system baffle plates are not firm ly closed.

The document path can be cleared easily because:

• No tools are needed.

• Easy-access panels let you quickly locate and clear documents.

Using the Bar Code Reader

The Bar Code Reader provides a hands-off method of data entry, eliminating the need to manually enter data found on document(s). Bar code image(s) are read, decoded, and converted t o a data string of ASCII characters. The ASCII data string is placed in the image header which is sent to the host computer when scanning, or merged with the document image address and transmitted as a data recor d t o a host computer for storage in a data library when filming.

During installation, modes are defined for use with specific applications. The Bar Code Reader may be enabled or disabled for each mode. In addition, the bar code type, number of bar codes-per-document, minimum bar code length (characters) , and the distance between multiple bar codes are defined for each mode. Some of t he features of the Bar Code Reader are:

• Image processing (f or dot matrix bar codes)

• Scan directory (uni- or bi-directional reading )

• Partial read (number of part ial r ead characters)

This User’s Guide:

• explains what bar code types can be read and decoded by the

Digital Science

• provides specifications that must be f ollowed when placing bar codes on documents.

• explains how to enable (or disable) bar code reading and the bar code confirmation tone.

• explains how to perform a bar code test and how to use the four test

options — Evaluate, Display, %Kodak, and %Norm.

• provides information on how to evaluate test results.

Bar code types

During installation, the type of bar code used is defined for each mode. The Bar Code Reader is capable of reading and decoding three different types of bar codes.

• Code 3 of 9 — also known as Code 39, is a widely used code in which 9 bars or spaces comprise the characters, 3 of which are wide.

• Interleaved 2 of 5 — or I 2 of 5, is a compact, int er leaved code f or numeric characters only. Each digit is represented by 5 bars or spaces, 2 of which are wide.

• Codabar — similar to Code 3 or 9, but not as widely used. Codabar includes only numeric and special characters.

The following table shows a comparison of bar code types:

Bar code placement

Bar codes must appear with the bars perpendicular to the leading edge of the document:

Leading edge (fed into transport first)

Trailing edge

In addition, the following must be true:

• The bar code must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) from the leading edge of the document.

• The bar code must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) f r om t he t r ailing edge of the document.

Before you begin

• There must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) of blank space preceding the start character and following the stop char acter.

• The bar code may not exceed 11 in. (275 mm) in length.

• The bar code height must be at least 0.40 in. (9.5 mm) or 25% of the

bar code length, whichever is greater.

More detailed specifications are provided in Kodak publication,

Made Easy

Before feeding documents containing bar codes, verify the following:

• Bar code reading is enabled in the current mode.

• The bar code confirmation tone is enabled ( if desired).

• A bar code test has been performed and the read rate/accuracy is

satisfactory.

Once each of these items has been verified, you may begin f eeding documents.

(A-61099).

Enabling bar code reading

Make sure that Bar Code Reading is enabled before feeding documents.

To enable Bar Code Reading at the m ode level:

• Enter function code F60.

Partial Bar Code Reading allows the scanner to read bar codes with a start character (and read) even if no end character is encountered.

To enable Partial Bar Code Reading:

• Enter function code F66. NOTE: Partial Bar Code Reading can only be enabled (or disabled) if

Bar Code Reading is enabled at the mode level.

If you have enabled the Bar Code Reader, but do not want to read/decode bar code(s) found on the next document only, perform function code F64.

characters beyond the start charact er t hat can be

Enabling the bar code confirmation tone

The bar code confirmation tone m ay be used to signal that a bar code has been read.

• If your scanner is configur ed for no confirmation tones, then no confirmation tones of any k ind will be heard in any mode.

• If your scanner is configur ed t o allow conf ir m ation tones, then you can disable (or enable) confirmation tones in any mode as desir ed.

If the confirmation tones and the bar code confirmation tone ar e enabled during installation for the mode being used, you may enable/disable the bar code confirmation tone during normal operations by performing f unction code F63.

In addition, a bar code/patch confirmat ion t one m ay be used to signal that both a bar code and a patch have been detected. This confirmation tone may be enabled or disabled by perfor m ing function code F62.

NOTE: Patch Code Reading must be enabled in the scanner in order

to use this feature.

8-8 A-61092 September 1999

Performing a bar code test

Before feeding documents, per form a bar code test (F65) t o verify the operation of the Bar Code Reader.

NOTES:

• No document processing, image address changes or level counting, etc. will occur during the test.

• Verification of the read rate/accuracy is typically performed by selecting option 4=%NORM.

To perform a bar code test:

1. Enter function code F65.

2. Select one of the following test opt ions.

Bar Code Type = 1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM

• 1=EVALUATE — provides a measure of the overall quality of the

bar codes being used by evaluating specific bar code characteristics. This test is perfor m ed whenever a new batch of preprinted bar code documents or labels are received, or when there is a change in the printing method (i.e., a new printer), media (i.e., new paper type) or bar code characteristics (i. e. , new bar code size).

• 2=DISPLAY — displays the decoded value of an individual bar

code as it is fed into the transport . This test is performed whenever there is a need to verify that a bar code is decoded properly. The bar code is read and decoded. No capturing of images or any other system function is performed when this test is run.

• 3=%KODAK — provides a measure of equipment performance by

determining the read rate (per centage of bar codes read properly) of Kodak Bar Code Standard Test Documents. Two percentages are calculated each time the test is run; a cur r ent percentage and a historical percentage. The historical percentage r eflects all tests run, providing information which may be used to track system performance over time.

• 4=%NORM — provides a measure of the quality of the bar codes

used, by determining the read rate (per centage of bar codes read properly) of actual customer-applicat ion documents. Two percentages are calculated each time the test is r un; a cur rent percentage and a historical percentage. The historical per centage reflects all tests run, providing inf ormation which may be used to track system performance over time.

A-61092 September 1999 8-9

Function code F65 options may also be used if there is a decline in bar code readability (read rate) during norm al docum ent processing. If this occurs, the following steps will assist you in diagnosing the problem :

1. Perform test option 3=%KO DAK. This test determines whether or not t he r educt ion in r eadabilit y is caused by a deficiency in the equipment.

• If the resulting r ead rate is significantly lower than the benchmark

given, contact your service representative.

• If the resulting r ead r at e is equal to or greater than the benchmark

given, proceed to Step 2.

2. Perform test option 4=% NO RM. This test determines whether or not t he r educt ion in r eadabilit y is caused by a deficiency in the bar codes being used.

• If the resulting r ead r at e is below an acceptable level, proceed to

Step 3.

3. Perform test option 1=EVALUATE. This test evaluates the bar codes being used in terms of dimensional and print clarity. Deficiencies in any one or more of these criteria could result in a reduction in the overall read rate.

8-10 A-61092 September 1999

Using the Evaluate option

Use the Evaluate option when you want to measure the quality of the bar codes being used by evaluating specific bar code characteristics.

The Evaluate option allows you to perform a Static Bar Code Evaluation test or a Dynamic Bar Code Evaluation test.

• Static Bar Code Evaluation — is performed if you want to just verify how well the Bar Code Reader is working. This test is perf or m ed with the transport off.

• Dynamic Bar Code Evaluation — is performed if you want to verify how well the Bar Code Reader is working and the speed of the Bar Code Reader. This test is performed with the t r anspor t on. Unlike the Static Bar Code Evaluation, the results of this test can be influenced by the motion of the document. If less than satisfactory results are obtained, perform the evaluation again using the Static Bar Code Evaluation.

To use the Evaluate option:

1. Select 1=EVALUATE.

Bar Code Type = 1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM

2. Select either 1=Transport Off or 2=Transport On.

Bar Code Type=

Please wait…

After approximately 30 seconds of processing tim e, the results of the bar code evaluation will be displayed or a message indicating the bar code was not read will be displayed.

If the display indicates the bar code was not read, it could be f or one of the following reasons:

• The type of bar code placed under the scan head was not the type indicated in the status display.

Action: Verify the type of bar code placed under the scan head.

• The bar code was not positioned properly under the scan head.

Action: Verify the position of the bar code placed under the scan

head.

• The bar code quality is poor. Action: Per form required maintenance.

If the bar code evaluation results are displayed, the following information will help you evaluate these results.

Grade= W/N= :1 Contrast= % NEW= MOD= % DEF= % RMIN= %

Grade — indicates the overall grade of the bar code evaluat ion. This grade is based upon the field values that appear in the remainder of the display. The fields which appear in the remainder of the display are either

dimensional

reflectance

fields.

Each of the reflectance field values are converted t o a let t er grade (where

is the highest and F is the lowest). The lowest letter grade assigned to any one of the reflectance fields is the overall grade assigned t o t he bar code.

Dimensional Fields (Pass or Fail) W/N — the average ratio of wide element widths to narrow elem ent

widths within a bar code. The ratio is calculated for both bars and spaces; the smallest of the two ratios is displayed.

New — the measure of the smallest Nar r ow- Elem ent Width.

A-61092 September 1999 8-15

Reflectance Fields (Grades A through F) Contrast — a comparison of the darkest elem ent and the lightest

element of the bar code. MOD — Modulation. A measure of the consistency of the overall bar code

print clarity (all elements), specif ically the occurrence of spots (in spaces) and voids (in bars).

DEF — Defect ratio. A measure of the consistency of the individual element print clarity, specifically the occurrence of spots (in spaces) and voids (in bars).

RMIN — Minimum reflectance. A measure of the lightest element of the bar code.

Table 1 illustrates how the dim ensional f ield values ar e conver t ed to a pass/fail status and the print clarit y f ield values ar e conver t ed to letter grades:

The transport automatically stops when 100 documents have been processed and the Current and Historical percentages ar e displayed.

NOTE: To stop the test and leave the percentages unchanged, press

Stop before the 100 documents have been processed. Current — indicates the read rate of the document s just processed. Historical — indicates the read rat e of all t ests run over time.

The first time the test is run, t he two percentages will be the same. If the Current percentage is significant ly lower than the Historical

percentage, this indicates any reduction in the overall r ead r ate may be caused by a deficiency in the equipment. Perform r equired maintenance and rerun the test. If the results of the second test are similar to the first, contact service.

NOTE: If an asterisk (*) appears in the display (i.e., Current =

xx.x*%), the Historical percentag e is unaffected by the

current read rate. This indicates the current read rate is

uncommonly low.

3. When the test is finished, press Clear to return to normal operation, or press Stop to remain in the test environm ent .

Using the %NORM option

This option establishes the percentage of bar codes properly read when using actual customer-application documents. This test is t he sam e as the %KODAK option, except actual customer-applicat ion docum ents are used. The option is designed to provide a baseline value as well as the current read rate. A comparison of the two values provides a measure of bar code quality over a period of time.

To use the %NORM test option:

1. Select 4=%NORM.

Bar Code Type = 1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM

2. Feed at least 100 application test documents. As documents are fed into the transport, the

Enabling the Endorser

Changing the print position

Selecting the Endorser mode

Make sure the Endorser is enabled prior to feeding documents. The Endorser may be enabled or disabled at the mode level using function code F57.

The Endorser print position specifies how f ar from the leading edge (fed into the transport first) of the document t he endorsement will be printed. The print position may be changed using f unction code F59. This function allows you to temporarily change the Endorser print position. The new print position will be used to print endorsements until function code F02 (Restore Mode) is used to return the print position to its original value (provided that mode overrides are not saved), or until function code F59 is used again to change the Endorser print position.

NOTE: The Endorser print posit ion should be car efully calculated.

Make sure to set the Endorser print position close enough to the leading edge (fed into the transport first) of the document so the printed information does not extend beyond the tr ailing edge of the document.

The Endorser mode determines whether the Endorser pr ints one endorsement per document (single stamp) or continuous endorsements (continuous). The Endorser mode may be specif ied using function code F58.
