Safety
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.

• Press the Power button.
Scanner ready
When you turn on the scanner, the input tray will open if it is not already
opened and the green indicator on the Start/Resume/Pause button will flash
as the scanner goes through a series of self tests.
The scanner takes less than 15 seconds to complete the power-up sequence
and be ready to scan.
When the installation process is complete and ready to scan, the green LED
on the Start/Resume/Pause button will stop flashing and remain constant and
the number 1 will be displayed in the operator control panel. If something other
than a number is displayed (e.g., 0, E or U), see the section entitled, “LED
error codes” in Chapter 6 for an explanation of these codes.
3 Start scanning Getting your scanner ready
1. Be sure the scanner is on and ready to scan (Start/Resume/Pause button
LED is green and constant) and the Smart Touch scanner icon is ready in
your system tray.
NOTES:
• Smart Touch allows you to quickly and easily perform common
scanning tasks. Nine different tasks can be assigned and performed.
• When the scanner is not is use, the input tray can be folded up against
the scanner. Be sure that the input tray is lowered when scanning.
2. Adjust the side guides on the input tray to meet your scanning needs. See
the section entitled, “Adjusting the input/output tray” in Chapter 3.
3. Select your scanning application. The scanner comes with Smart Touch
functionality and Kodak Capture Desktop Software. For more information,
see Chapter 3.
A-61778 September 2016 11
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.
