The Kodak i1200/i1300 Series Scanners are compact document
scanners perfect for workgroups and other decentralized applications.
All scanner models have a tilt feature that allows you to tilt the scanner
body and position the input and output trays in a variety of angles to
meet your scanning needs. In addition, the tilt feature allows scanning
in tight spaces when space is limited and stores easily when not in use.
Also included with each model is smart touch functionality which allows
you to send your documents to email, print or various applications with
a touch of a button. The i1200/i1300 Scanners also can support the
optional Kodak A4 Flatbed Accessory or Kodak A3 Flatbed Accessory.
The following models are available:
Kodak i1210 Scanner — a simplex scanner which provides scanning
at up to 30 pages per minute in color, grayscale or black and white at
200 dpi.
Kodak i1220 Scanner — a duplex scanner which provides scanning at
up to 30 pages per minute in color, grayscale or black and white at 200
dpi.
Kodak i1310 Scanner — a simplex scanner which provides color
scanning at up to 30 pages per minute and black and white and
grayscale scanning at up to 60 pages per minute at 200 dpi.
Kodak i1320 Scanner — a duplex scanner which provides color
scanning at up to 30 pages per minute and black and white and
grayscale scanning at up to 60 pages per minute at 200 dpi.
For support of most document scanning software applications, a
TWAIN datasource and ISIS Driver are included with the Kodak i1200/
i1300 Series Scanners. These drivers provide all of the innovative
image processing you can expect from Kodak.

T urning the scanner
on and off
• Press the button on the back of the scanner to turn the scanner on (I)
or off (O).
After you turn on the scanner , wait for it to complete the self-test. When
the scanner is connected to the host PC and the self-test completes,
the green indicator light will remain on and constant and the function
window will display “1”.
If the scanner is not connected to the host PC and the self-test
completes, the red indicator will be on and the function window will be
blank.
Scanner positionsThe Kodak i1200 and i1300 Series Scanners are equipped with a tilt
feature which allows the scanner to be used in two positions.
Depending upon your scanning needs, you can tilt the scanner body
and position the input and output trays. The tilt feature also allows
scanning in tight spaces when space is limited and stores easily when
not in use. The following illustrations show the angles the scanner can
be placed in. Simply press the tilt release button and tilt the scanner
body into a 25- or 65-degree angle.
25-degree angle
A-61560 April 200817
65-degree angle
In addition to tilting the scanner body, the input and output trays can be
adjusted to provide even more scanning flexibility. See the following
sections for information on adjusting the input and output trays.
Tilting the scanner
body
NOTE: Heavier weight documents (e.g., 110-lb.) may not feed properly
when the scanner is positioned at the 65-degree angle. If
scanning heavy-weight documents, use the 25-degree angle.
IMPORTANT:When using the tilt feature, be sure the scanner cover is
closed.
• Press the Tilt release button and rotate the scanner body into the
desired position.
18A-61560 April 2008
Adjusting the
output tray
The output tray and the output tray extender can be used in several
positions. Different positions perform for dif ferent need s. I f the way you
use your scanner is not described in this section, experiment with
different positions to determine the one that best fits your needs.
To remove the output tray from it’s storage position underneath the
scanner:
• Press down on the release tabs and pull it out of position.
• The output tray can be positioned so it lies flat on the table. This
position works well for scanning a few pages at a time.
• For scanning jobs of more than 5 pages, use the output tray
extender.
Output tray extender
A-61560 April 200819
To install the output tray extender:
-Turn the output tray over and slide the output tray extender
along the rail of the output tray.
Rail
- Turn the output tray right-side up and slide it under the scanner
until it locks into place.
• The output tray extender is best used when the scanner is in the 25
degree position (see below). This setup is ideal for scanning large
batches of mixed document sets.
End stop
Open to extend output tray
• In addition, the output tray can be extended to accommodate
documents up to 14 inches in length, and the end stop can be
opened at various angles.
20A-61560 April 2008
• When using the output tray extender and scanning smaller
documents or mixed sized documents, you can improve your
document stacking performance by using the exit deflector. The exit
deflector is easily installed by snapping it into place.
NOTE: Remove the exit deflector before tilting the scanner to the
upright position (65-degree angle).
Adjusting the input
tray
You can scan documents with the input tray open or closed. Feed
documents with the input tray open if you are scanning a batch of
documents. You can tilt the scanner body to a more upright position to
save working space.
Input tray - open positionInput tray - closed position
If space is limited and you want to close the input tray, you can easily
feed documents one at a time.
NOTE: The scanner cover cannot be opened when the input tray is
closed.
A-61560 April 200821
Adjusting the side
guides
The side guides can be moved in or out to accommodate document
size. Adjust the side guides slightly wider than the documents you are
scanning.
Start and stop
scanning
Before you start scanning, make sure the scanner is on and ready for
operation, which is indicated by the green indicator light being on and
constant.
Scanning is controlled by software developed for your application. To
start and stop scanning, refer to the documentation provided with your
application software.
NOTE: Be sure that the documents in the input tray are centered in the
tray and in the path of the paper present sensor.
22A-61560 April 2008
Document
preparation
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so
the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered in the
input tray; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into the
scanner one at a time.
• St aples and p aper clip s on document s ma y damage the scanner and
documents. Damage resulting from scanning documents with
staples, paper clips or other metallic objects are not covered by
warranty. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.
• Documents should be in good condition.
Paper Types: Bond, Laser, Inkjet, Offset
NOTE: Chemically coated papers may cause excessive wear/swelling
of the rollers.
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 should be dry before scanning is started.
Paper Weights: 34 g/m
Maximum Document Size:
• Automatic Document Feeder — 215 x 863 mm (8.5 x 34 in.)
