User Precautions
•Place the scanner on a sturdy, level work surface capable of supporting 20.4 kg (45 lbs) and leave adequate clearance on all sides of the scanner.
•Do not install the scanner in a location subject to dust, humidity or steam. This may cause electrical shock or a fire. Only use the scanner indoors in a dry location.
•Make sure the electrical power outlet is located within 1.52 meters (5 feet) of the scanner and is easily accessible.
•When disconnecting equipment from the electric socket, be sure to grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Be sure the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause electrical shock or fire.
•Do not damage, knot, cut or modify the power cord or use a damaged power cord. This may cause electrical shock or fire.
•The scanner requires a dedicated and properly grounded power outlet. Do not use an extension cord or power strip with the scanner.
•Leave sufficient space around the power outlet so it can be easily unplugged in case of an emergency.
•Do not disassemble, service or modify the scanner except as explained in the User’s Guide.
•Do not move the scanner with the power cord and interface cable attached. This may cause damage to the cord/cable. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet before moving or relocating the scanner.
•Follow the Kodak Alaris recommended cleaning procedures. Do not use air, liquid or gas spray cleaners. These cleaners displace dust, dirt and debris to other locations within the scanner, which may cause the scanner to malfunction.
•Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemical products are available on the Kodak Alaris website at: www.kodakalaris.com/en-us/about/ehs. When accessing the MSDSs from the website, you will be required to provide the catalog number of the consumable you want the Material Safety Data Sheet for. See the section entitled, “Supplies and consumables” later in this guide for supplies and catalog numbers.
Users and their employers need to observe the common sense precautions applicable to the operation of any machinery. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Do not wear loose clothing, unbuttoned sleeves, etc.
•Do not wear loose jewelry, bracelets, bulky rings, long necklaces, etc.
•Hair length should be kept short, using a hair net if needed, or tying long hair up in a bundle.
•Remove all other loose objects from the area that could be drawn into the machine.
•Take sufficient breaks to maintain mental alertness.
•Use only the recommended cleaning supplies.
•Do not use canned/compressed air.
Supervisors should review their employee practices and make compliance with these precautions a part of the job description for operation of the scanner or any mechanical device.
Warning labels
CAUTION: Moving parts, avoid contact.

Getting your documents ready to scan
•Standard paper size documents feed easily through the scanner. When organizing your documents for scanning, stack the documents so the lead edges are aligned and centered in the input tray. This allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a time.
•Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the scanner and documents.
•All inks and correction fluids on the paper must be dry before scanning is started.
•Torn, damaged or crushed pages can be transported successfully through the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every possible type of damaged paper. If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document can be transported through the scanner, you can use the flatbed or place the document in a clear protective sleeve and use the rear document exit. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded edge first, when using the gap release or the rear document exit.
4.Place the documents you want to scan in the input tray. If you are scanning one-sided documents, be sure the side you want to scan is facing up.
NOTE: Some very thick and/or stiff documents; such as shipping envelopes, may require the following:
•Use the flatbed or rear document exit.
•Use of the gap release.
•Scanning at 400 dpi or more to reduce the scanner transport speed.
5.When 1 - Color PDF is displayed on the operator control panel, press the
Start/Resume/Pause button.
