New features These features are for Kodak i1800 Series Scanners, Firmware V ersion

2.1.1 (or higher).

• Fast elevator — the elevator speed is twice as fast as the previous versions of the Kodak i1800 Series Scanners.

• Quick reload — allows you to quickly reload small stacks of documents before the elevator returns to the original Paper Source position (e.g., 250 Sheet, 500 Sheet, etc.). For example, if the Paper Source position is set to 500 Sheets and there are several small batches of documents that you want to scan separately, this feature allows you to place the documents in the elevator tray as soon it is descending. The elevator will immediately rise to the feeding position before returning to the 500-sheet Paper Source position.

• Fragile Document Mode — allows you to feed poor quality documents through the scanner transport at a slower pace for more reliable stacking.

Sta rting and stopping scanning

Document preparation

The scanner is controlled by a capture software application. To start and stop scanning, refer to the documentation provided with your application software.

Kodak Scanners have been tested with a range of documents that represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is achieved when scanning documents within the recommended document specifications listed below. Scanning documents outside of these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of scanne r reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.

Materials:

• Virgin, recycled and photographic papers

• Clear protective sleeves meeting the size and thickness requirements in this section

Paper Types: Bond, Laser, Inkjet, Offset Paper Weights: The input elevator handles a broad range of paper

weights from 45 to 200 g/m Ultralightweight Paper can handle paper weights from 25 to 75 g/m

(7 to 20 lbs).

(12 to 110 lb.). The Kodak Feeder Kit for

Minimum Document Size: 6.4 x 6.4 cm (2.5 x 2.5 in.). Maximum Document Size: 30.5 x 101.6 cm (12 x 40 in.). Documents

larger than 43 cm (17 in.) may require operator assistance and installation of optional document extenders.

Paper inks: All inks on the paper must be dry before scanning is started. This includes: Standard offset printing, Inkjet printer, Thermal transfer, Handwriting inks.

Correction Fluids: Liquid Paper®, Tipp-Ex®, Wite-out®, and other similar correction fluids must be dry before scanning is started.

A-61555 May 2010 3-3

Feeder Capacity: The input elevator can hold up to 500 sheets of 75 g/m

(20 lb.) paper.

Before you begin scanning documents, make certain the documents can be fed through the scanner easily.

• A stack of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arrang ed so the leading edges of all documents are aligned under the feed module; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a time.

• St aples and p aper clip s on documents may damage the scanner and documents. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.

• Documents with missing corners, perforated edges, hole punches in the margins, irregular and curled edges, torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully through the scanner. These documents may require manual feeding.

• When scanning mixed-sized documents, in addition to lead-edge alignment, you may also want to left- or right-edge align the documents. This would allow offset feeding, especially when using the Enhanced Printer.

• If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document can be transported through the scanner, place the document in a clear protective sleeve with the lead edge of the document aligned with the folded edge of the sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded edge first, while using the gap release button. Ultrasonic multi-feed detection is not recommended when using plastic sleeves.

NOTE:When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the

input elevator side guides must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.

If you need to lower the elevator tray after it has risen, you can either press the Lower Elevator button (lowers to the 500-sheet position) or move the stack of documents slightly away from the paper present sensor and the elevator tray will return to the original Paper Source position (e.g., 250 Sheet, 500 Sheet, etc.).

Depending on how your capture application software is configured, your documents will automatically start feeding, or you may need to touch the Scan button on the touchscreen to begin feeding documents.

A-61555 May 2010 3-15

Continuous feeding Continuous feeding can be used when you want to continuously scan

small stacks of documents (less than 25) without stopping/starting a scan session.

When the input elevator is in highest position, continuous feeding of small stacks of documents can be accomplished b y a dding them to the bottom of the stack while scanning.

1. Align the leading edges of the stacked documents.

2. Position the stack of the documents, face up in the input elevator so

the stack covers the paper present sensor.

As the documents are being scanned, you can continuously add documents to the bottom of the st ack. Wh en adding documents, be sure that the paper present sensor remains covered at all times.

Manual feeding When the scanner is configured for manual feeding, the input elevator

is raised to the highest position where approximately 25 documents can be loaded. The input elevator will remain in this position to allow documents to be fed one at a time.

To manually feed documents:

1. Position the document you want to feed in the input elevator so that

the paper present sensor is covered.

2. Touch Scan on the touchscreen.

3-34 A-61555 May 2010

Changing the print offset The Print Offset function allows you to temporarily move the print

location on a document (e.g., if you need to rescan a document that has already been printed on). This function is only available when the scanner is enabled.

When you change the print offset position, the change will st ay in ef fect until the scanner returns to the Idle state.

NOTES:

• The Print Offset option is only displayed on the OCP if the printer is enabled.

• If your scanner is configured to auto start, it is recommended that you disable autostart if you want to use the Print Offset function for the first document.

• For more efficient scanning, it is recommended that you set the scanner to Pause Scanning (in the capture application software) when a multifeed occurs so the scanner will stay enabled.

• If you set the Print Offset to a dimension that is longer than your document, there will be no printing on your document.

1. Enable the scanner and Print functionality via the capture

application software. When the scanner is enabled, the following screen will be displayed.

NOTE: The number displayed in the window is the additional offset

from what was set by the host application. This number is 0 if the print offset has not been changed by the operator.

4 The Enhanced Printer and Patch Readers

This chapter provides instructions for using the Enhanced Printer and Patch Readers. The following information and procedures can be found in this chapter:

• Overview information about the Enhanced Printer, including information about print fields and printer specifications.

• Setting horizontal printer positions.

• Replacing the ink cartridge and ink blotter strips.

• Moving the printer carrier and cable from the front position to the rear position or vice versa.

• Overview information about the Patch Readers and patch types.

NOTE: More detailed information on the Enhanced Printer and Patch

Readers can be found in the Scanning Setup Guide and Kodak publication, A-61599, Patch Code Information.

Enhanced Printer overview

The Kodak i1800 Series Scanners include a factory-installed, preconfigured front or rear printer. The printer operates at full scanner speed and prints on the front before scanning or rear after scanning. The printer can add a date, time, image address, and custom messages.

The printer is unique in that the document print string can be configured to include both literal (static) information (i.e., information that st ays the same for each document, such as batch name or operator) and dynamic information (i.e., information that may change for each page scanned, such as the image address). The capture software application controls static fields; any information that the software allows you to enter can be sent to the printer.

All printer controls and functions are accessible through the ISIS Driver or TWAIN Data source. Printing must be enabled or disabled for each scan session.

NOTES:

• The scanner is shipped configured for front printing. See the section entitled, “Moving the printer carrier and cable from the front to the rear or vice versa” to change to the rear printing position.

• Clean the scanner’s paper path components daily when using the printer.

• You may only use one printer (either front or rear) at one time. If you attempt to print on both sides, an error will be displayed.

• The minimum document height for using the printer is 10 cm (4 in.) with adjustable side guides.

• The ink cartridge must be installed prior to powering on the scanner, or it could result in errors when printing is attempted.

Patch function overview

The Patch Readers The Patch Readers allow you to automatically increment the image

All i1800 Series Scanners provide toggle patch capability. This type of patch is used to trigger the scanner to switch from the current image stream (black-and-white) to the alternative image stream (color/ grayscale).

address or initiate a special function. Image addressing must be enabled in order to use the Patch Readers. Patch sheets are inserted during document preparation.

There are four off-center, permanently mounted Patch Readers. They can be independently enabled or disabled by your capture software application.

If more than one Patch Reader is enabled and any one of the enabled Patch Readers successfully decodes the patch, then the patch will be read. Also, if the patch bars pass under more than one patch head that is enabled, there is a higher probability that the patch will be read.

NOTE: Almost all patch reading problems are related to poor quality

patch codes or patch sheet s. Using o nly the best q uality printe d patch sheets will ensure the highest possible read rates.

See Kodak publication A-61599, Patch Code Information, for complete information.

Patch types Patch Types 1, 4, and 6 — these patch types can be used by the

capture software application to perform post-scan functions. These patches are not used for image addressing.

IMPORTANT:Do not use these illustrated patches for production —

they are not to spec.

Patch 1 Patch 4 Patch 6

Toggle Patch — the Toggle patch is a Type 4 patch that is used to

trigger the scanner to switch from the current image stream (black-andwhite) to the alternative image stream (color/grayscale).

NOTE: Toggle patch orientation is different depending on whether

image addressing is disabled or enabled.

4-12 A-61555 May 2010

Toggle Patch

Image addressing - disabled

Image addressing - enabled

When image addressing is disabled, the Patch Readers are also disabled. However a Toggle patch can still be detected.

Patch Types 2, 3 and T — these patch types are used for image addressing.

The Patch Readers control document level changes by automatically sensing a predefined patch code and changing the document level accordingly.

IMPORTANT:Do not use these illustrated patches for production —

they are not to spec.

Patch 2 — assigns a Level 2 to the

current document

Patch 3 — assigns a Level 3 to the

current document

Patch 5/T/Transfer Patch — assigns a predetermined level to the next document

The Transfer Patch Definition is also defined by the application. The Transfer Patch Definition controls the level assigned to the next document when a Transfer Patch is used. For example, if the Transfer Patch Definition for the current operation is defined as Level 3 and a Transfer Patch is used, the next document will be assigned Level 3.

Patch code placement See Kodak publication A-61599, Patch Code Information, for complete

information about patch placement and specifications. Patches can be tested using the Patch Test on the touchscreen. See

Chapter 3, “Performing a Patch test” for more information.

5 Maintenance

This chapter provides:

• a cleaning frequency chart

• a list of cleaning tools and materials

• a list of supplies, consumables and accessories

• cleaning procedures for the scanner

• replacement procedures for customer-replaceable parts

IMPORTANT:Scanner components marked with a green tab indicate

operator-accessible parts.

Cleaning your scanner and preventative maintenance on a regular basis is required to ensure the best possible image quality. The following is a preventative maintenance procedure that is recommended to prevent costly interruptions during production scanning. Following this procedure as recommended should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

Some document types generate more paper dust and debris and may require more frequent cleaning than recommended.

NOTES:

• Some debris from the rubber tires on the feed module and sep aration roller is normal. Tire debris does not always mean that the tires are worn or damaged. After cleaning, inspect the tires for wear and replace the separation roller or feed module if necessary.

• When cleaning rollers/tires, allow the rollers/tires to dry completely before scanning.

• Use only the recommended cleaning supplies.

• Do not use canned/compressed air.

• Using unapproved cleaning fluids or solvents may damage the rubber tires.

Replacement procedures

This section provides procedures for replacing the following parts. Use the list below as a guideline for frequency of replacement.

• Feed module tires and separation roller tires — tire life will vary depending upon paper types, environment and cleanliness. Nominal tire life is approximately 600,000 documents; results will vary. Degradation of feeder performance, multiple feeds, stoppages, etc. indicate a need to change tires. Change all the tires on the feed module and separation roller at the same time.

• Feed module and separation roller — it is recommended that you install a new feed module and separation roller approximately every 4th tire change. Install a new feed module and separation roller at the same time.

• Pre-separation pad — it is recommended that you change the pre- separation pad at least as often as you change the feed module/ separation roller tires.

• Imaging guides — replace when the imaging guides are heavily scratched and defects show in the image.

Replacing the feed module or feed module tires

1. Remove the output tray.

2. Lift up the printer access cover.

3. Open the pod.
