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.

A-61778 September 2016 11
Page 18
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.
12 A-61778 September 2016

3 Scanner Adjustments

Adjusting the input/ output tray

You can adjust the input and output trays to accommodate your scanning needs.
Adjusting the side guides — the side guides can be moved in or out to
accommodate document size. When adjusting the side guides, place your hands on the bottom of the side guides, over the slots in the tray to easily slide the guides in and out.
• Adjusting the input tray for document length — the input tray extender
has two positions.
- Document lengths up to 11 inches /27.9 cm — pull the extender out to the first position.
- Document lengths from 11 to 17 inches / 27.9 to 43.2 cm — pull the extender out to the full position.
- Document lengths more than 14 inches / 35.6 cm — if you are scanning documents longer than 17 inches / 43.2 cm, the scanner driver must be set to accommodate these long documents. Be sure to verify that the Maximum Length option on the Device-General tab (TWAIN Datasource) or the Longest Document option on the Scanner tab (ISIS Driver) is set to longer than the longest document being scanned.
NOTE: Operator assistance may be required for scanning documents
greater than 17 inches / 43.2 cm.
A-61778 September 2016 15
Page 22
• Adjusting the output tray for document length — if you are scanning documents longer than 11 inches / 27.94 cm, open the document extender.
Document weights — the input tray is capable of holding the approximate weight of 250 sheets of plain 20# bond paper.
16 A-61778 September 2016
Page 23

Flatbed scanning The flatbed can be used to scan exception documents, file folders, books,

magazines, passports and more.
1. Open the flatbed cover.
2. Place the document face down on the glass platen.
3. Align the document in the lower right-hand corner at the corner arrows.
4. Close the flatbed cover.
5. Press the Start/Resume/Pause button to start scanning.
A-61778 September 2016 17
Page 24
NOTES:
• When scanning from the flatbed, be sure there are no documents in the input tray of the scanner.
• If there is a document in the input tray and a document on the flatbed and the Scan button is pressed, the scanner will only scan from the input tray. To scan from the flatbed, the Scan button will need to be pressed again.
• When scanning a document/book from the flatbed, be sure the flatbed cover is closed. The cover will automatically adjust to the thickness of the document/book.
• When placing the document/book on the flatbed, the document may extend all the way to the edge of the flatbed. However, the flatbed will only scan any information that is aligned with the line on the frame of the flatbed glass.
• The white background on the flatbed cover must be clean and smooth. If there are any imperfections, it may affect auto crop performance.
18 A-61778 September 2016
Page 25

Using the rear document exit

Documents that require special handling (i.e., shipping envelopes, etc.) can be output using the rear document exit. This exit provides the straight-through paper path option that allows an exception document to pass through the transport, thus reducing the possibility of a document jam.
To use the rear document exit, lift the rear document exit lever up.
Use the rear document exit when:
• documents are too stiff (e.g., rigid) to make the turn in the transport and are jamming (U9 is being displayed on the operator control panel).
• output stacking order is not important.
• scanning directly into the recycle bin when documents are no longer needed after scanning.
• scanning photographs.
NOTES:
• Be sure to lower the rear document exit lever into it’s original position when finished.
• Be sure that you have adequate clearance behind the scanner to feed the document(s) through when using this option.
• When scanning several documents through the rear document exit, the documents will be output in the reverse scanning order.
• When using the rear document exit, you cannot use the document printing option.
A-61778 September 2016 19
Page 26

Selecting your scanning application

Kodak Alaris has included two scanning applications with your scanner: Smart Touch and Kodak Capture Desktop Software.
Smart Touch functionality is your press one button, it does the rest answer to organizing your digital documents. Now you can, with Smart Touch functionality, organize documents:
• to your file locations
• as e-mail attachments

5 Maintenance

This chapter describes the required cleaning and maintenance procedures for the Kodak i2900 Scanner. The frequency of these procedures will vary with different scanning environments, paper types and image processing requirements. High volumes of scanning will demand more frequent cleaning of the scanner and more frequent replacement of consumables. Years of production scanning experience by Kodak Alaris proves that properly cleaning and maintaining your scanner will result in scanning more paper in less time with less issues. A properly maintained i2900 Scanner will provide years of trouble-free operation.
Scanner consumables (tires, pre-separation pads, etc.) and cleaning supplies are available from your scanner supplier. Consumables are sold in kits. The kits contain the proper mix of tires, rollers, and pre-separation pads so you can easily replace them at the recommended rate. For example, only replacing the tires and never replacing the separation roller will eventually minimize scanner performance. Replacing the consumables at the recommended frequency will ensure the best performance.

Cleaning procedures Cleaning your scanner and performing preventative maintenance on a regular

basis is required to ensure the best possible image quality.
Some document types generate more paper dust and debris and may require more frequent cleaning.
Before cleaning your scanner or replacing consumables, review the following information:
Some debris from the rubber tires on the feed module and separation 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, feed module or tires if necessary.
When cleaning rollers/tires, allow the rollers/tires to dry completely before scanning.
Use only the recommended cleaning supplies. Using unapproved cleaning fluids or solvents may damage the rubber tires.
Do not use cleaners in confined areas, use with adequate ventilation.
Do not use cleaners on hot surfaces. Allow surfaces to cool to ambient temperature before cleaning.
Do not use canned/compressed air. Use of compressed air may cause dust to be forced into the scanner’s imaging system and lodge in an area that causes image quality issues and cannot be cleaned without removing the camera.
Do not use flammable compressed aerosols on or around the scanner.
In addition to the recommended cleaning supplies, you may use a vacuum cleaner to remove debris from the scanner.
Staticide wipes contain isopropanol which can cause eye irritation and dry skin. Wash your hands with soap and water after performing maintenance procedures. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for more information. The MSDS is available on the Kodak Alaris website at
www.kodakalaris.com/en-us/about/ehs
NOTE: To access the MSDS, you will need to provide the catalog number
of the supply. See “Supplies and Consumables” later in this chapter for catalog numbers.
The roller cleaning pad contains sodium lauryl ether sulfate and sodium silicate which can cause eye irritation. Refer to the MSDS for more information.

Careful reading of the User’s Guide will answer most of the technical questions the end user might have regarding proper installation, operation and maintenance of the product. However, should additional technical support be required, you may visit our website at: www.kodakalaris.com/go/IMsupport or contact: Kodak Alaris’ Response Center: (800) 822-1414
The Response Center is available Monday – Friday (excluding Kodak Alaris holidays) 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
Before placing the call, the eligible purchaser should have the Kodak Scanner model number, part number, serial number and proof of purchase available. The eligible purchaser should also be prepared to provide a description of the problem.
Response Center personnel will assist the end user in resolving the problem over the phone. The end user may be asked to run some simple, self-diagnostic tests and report the resulting status and error code messages. This will assist the Response Center in determining if the problem is the Kodak Scanner or another component and if the problem can be resolved over the phone. If the Response Center determines a hardware problem exists that is covered either under the Limited Warranty or a purchased Maintenance Agreement, a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA) will be assigned as needed, a service request will be initiated and repair or replacement procedures will follow.
Packaging and shipping guidelines
Purchaser must ship all warranty returns in a method that guarantees full protection of the product from shipping damage. Failure to do so will void the Kodak Scanner warranty. Kodak Alaris advises the purchaser to keep the original box and packing materials for storing or shipping. Kodak Alaris is not responsible for issues related to shipping damage. The purchaser must return only the Kodak Scanner. Prior to shipment, purchaser must remove and retain all “add-on” items, (i.e. adapters, cables, software, manuals, etc.). Kodak Alaris accepts no responsibility for these items and they will not be returned with the repaired or replacement Kodak Scanner. All products should be returned to Kodak Alaris in the original shipping container, or an authorized packaging box for the units being returned. Purchaser must install the shipping restraint before the Kodak Scanner is shipped. When the original packaging is not available, contact Kodak Alaris’ Response Center at (800) 822-1414 for part numbers and replacement packaging ordering information.
Return procedure
Eligible purchasers seeking services for Kodak Scanners covered under this Limited Warranty must obtain a Return Material Authorization number (“RMA”) by calling (800) 822-1414 and within ten (10) business days from the date of issuance of the RMA must return the Kodak Scanner to the address designated in the RMA at the end user’s own expense and risk, in compliance with Kodak Alaris’ current Packaging and Shipping Guidelines.
Any defective products or parts replaced by Kodak Alaris become the property of Kodak Alaris.
Customer responsibility
BY REQUESTING SERVICE, THE ELIGIBLE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THE TERMS OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS. PRIOR TO SEEKING SERVICE, THE END USER MUST BACK-UP ANY DATA OR FILES THAT MAY BECOME DAMAGED OR LOST. KODAK ALARIS IS, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR DAMAGED DATA OR FILES.
Warranty Service descriptions
Kodak Alaris offers a range of service programs to support its Limited Warranty and to assist with the use and care of the Kodak Scanner (“Service Methods”). A Kodak Scanner represents an important investment. Kodak Scanners provide the productivity needed to stay competitive. The sudden loss of this productivity, even temporarily, could seriously affect the ability to meet commitments. Downtime can be very expensive, not just in the cost of the repair but also in time lost. To help alleviate these problems, Kodak Alaris may use one of the service methods listed below, depending upon product type, in providing service under its Limited Warranty.
Included with selected Kodak Scanners is a Limited Warranty Registration card and a Limited Warranty Summary card. The Limited Warranty Summary card is specific by model. The Limited Warranty Summary card contains important warranty information, including the model number and the Limited Warranty. Refer to the Limited Warranty Summary card to determine the available Service Methods applicable to the particular Kodak Scanner.
If the Limited Warranty Registration card or Limited Warranty Summary card cannot be located, additional information may be obtained about the product, including updated warranty and service program information and restrictions, online at www.kodakalaris.com/go/IMsupport.
To avoid service delays, Kodak Alaris urges end users to complete and return the enclosed Limited Warranty Registration Card at the first opportunity. If you cannot locate the Limited Warranty Registration card, you may register online at www.kodakalaris.com/go/IMsupport.
Kodak Alaris also provides a variety of service programs that may be purchased to assist with the use and care of the Kodak Scanner.
Kodak Alaris is committed to providing its customers with quality, performance, reliability and service under the Limited Warranty.
