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).

Minimum Document Size: 6.4 x 6.4 cm (2.5 x 2.5 in.).
Maximum Document Size: 30.5 x 86 cm (12 x 34 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 April 2009 3-3
Feeder Capacity: The input elevator can hold up to 500 sheets of
75 g/m
2
(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.
3-4 A-61555 April 2009
Adjusting the input elevator
Adjusting the side guides 1. Place the documents in the input elevator.
2. Adjust the side guides to fit the documents. The side guides should
be far enough apart to accommodate the widest document that you
are feeding.
Selecting your feeding position
Locking the side guides Side guides may be locked into position after they are adjusted. This
The side guides can be adjusted for right-edge, left-edge or center
feeding. The side guides can be moved together for center feeding or
independently for offset feeding (right-edge or left-edge).
When using the Enhanced Printer, documents should be placed in the
input elevator in a manner that will align the print string in the proper
location. Offset feeding may be required.
If your stack of documents contain mixed sizes and has been left- or
right-edge aligned, adjust the side guides for offset feeding.
may be helpful when the placement of print strings is important.
If you want to lock the side guides into position, move any documents
which may be in the input tray and move the locking switch into the
locked position.
A-61555 April 2009 3-5
Adjusting the height of the input elevator
The input elevator can be set to accommodate stacks of 25-, 100-, 250 or 500-documents of 20 lb. bond paper. Input elevator settings are
made through the TWAIN Data source or ISIS Driver.
NOTE: In this document 25 will be referred to as the highest setting and
500 as the lowest.
Make this setting based on the number of documents you will place in
the input elevator at one time.
When set to 25 (Document Feeder or Normal), the input elevator will
remain in position. When set to 100, 250 or 500, the input elevator will
automatically raise to feed documents and lower after the last
document in your stack has been fed.
Adjusting the input tray for document length
• No adjustments are required for documents up to 14 inches long.
• If you are scanning documents from 14 to 17 inches in length, open
the input elevator extension.
• Documents longer than 17 inches require a document extender.
Three sizes of document extenders are available for scanning
documents from 43 cm (17 in.) to 86 cm (34 in.). See the section
entitled, “Ordering parts” in Chapter 5 or contact your Kodak Field
Engineer at 1-800-3KODAK3 (1-800-356-3253).
