Connecting the USB cable

IMPORTANT: If you have not installed the Kodak Driver Software,

do that now before proceeding.

The following instructions explain the connection of the USB cable
between your scanner and PC. You need to identify the USB port on
your PC. If you installed the USB 2.0 card, use that port, otherwise use
the USB port on your PC.

The USB cable supplied with your scanner has two different ends.

B

1. Attach the B end of the USB cable to the scanner USB port, located

on the back of the scanner.

Turning on the scanner and finalizing Kodak Driver Software installation

2. Attach the A end of the USB cable to the proper USB port on your

PC.

NOTE: If you installed a USB card, use one of those ports, or use your

PC’s USB port. See your PC manufacturer’s documentation for
the location of the USB port.

When the USB cable and power connections have been made, and the
Kodak Software Drivers have been properly installed, the installation
will be complete when the scanner is turned on.

A-61512 May 2006 13

1. Use the power switch on the back of the scanner to turn the scanner

on (I).

When you turn on the scanner, the scanner goes through a series of
self tests, the green indicators will flash. When it is finished and
ready to scan, the LED indicator will stop flashing and stay green.

NOTES:

• If the scanner does not pass the self test, refer to Chapter 6,
Troubleshooting.

• The following screens are based on Windows 2000. However,
depending on the computer operating system you are using,
these screens may be different.

3 Using the Scanner

Turning the scanner on and off

Adjusting the input and output trays

• 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
completed, the green indicator light will remain on and constant.

The input tray has side guides that allow you to adjust the feeder to fit
different document sizes.

• Grasp the side guides and slide them to the desired position.

If you are scanning documents longer than 8.5 x 11 inches (A4),
open the extender on the output tray.

NOTE: The special document feeder requires no special adjustments.

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.

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.

• Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the scanner and

documents. 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.

Paper Weights: 7.3 to 12.7 kg (16 to 28 lbs.)

NOTE: Thicker paper weights can be fed through the special document

feeder. Documents up to 95 mm (3.74 in.) wide can be up to 1
mm (0.039 in.) thick.

Maximum Document Size: 21.6 x 86.36 cm (8.5 x 34 in.)

NOTE: Long Paper mode will scan document lengths from 35.56 cm

(14 in.) to 86.36 cm (34 in.) when the host PC is configured with
adequate memory (see “System requirements” for more
information regarding memory requirements).

Minimum Document Size: 8.9 x 5 cm (3.5 x 2 in.)

special document feeder only:

Front-feed minimum/center alignment: 6.35 x 5.08 cm (2.5 x 2.0 in.)

Verifying your scanner installation

Kodak provides a test application called the Kodak Scan Validation
Tool. This section describes how to use this tool to perform a basic scan

function which includes feeding paper and viewing captured images on
your PC.

The following steps help you to verify that your scanner installation was
successful. If this procedure is successful, you will be ready to use your
scanner. If it is not successful, go back and review the installation
procedures outlined in the section entitled, “Installing the scanner” in
Chapter 2.

NOTE: Detailed descriptions of all the options on the Scan Validation

Tool dialog boxes can be found in Chapter 4, Image Processing.

Before you begin, be sure the scanner is on and ready to scan.

1. Select Start>Programs>Kodak>Document Imaging>Scan
Validation Tool or click the Scan Validation Tool icon.

The Scan Validation Tool dialog box will be displayed.

2. Select TWAIN (or ISIS) for the Driver Types and Kodak Scanner
i30/i40 as the Driver. The Scan Validation Tool dialog box will be
displayed.

3. Click the Scanner icon to access the Kodak Scanner Properties
dialog box.

4. Select Defaults. A confirmation message, Reset all values to
factory defaults will be displayed.

5. Click OK. This resets the software to the factory-installed default
settings. The factory default settings are set to capture color
images. For an i30 Scanner one side of the document will be
scanned. For an i40 Scanner both sides of the document will be
scanned.

6. Click OK on the Kodak Scanner Properties dialog box. The Scan
Validation Tool screen will be displayed:

7. Place some test application documents into the input tray of the
scanner. The documents should be placed upside down in the input
tray. If you are scanning one-sided documents or if you have a
Kodak i30 Scanner, be sure the side you want to scan is facing the
input tray.

8. Click the Start button on the Scan Validation Tool. The documents
will be scanned and displayed in the Scan Validation Tool window.

NOTE: If the scanner is in lamp saver mode, a message will be

displayed that the lamps need sufficient time to warm up.

After the images have been displayed, your scanner installation

verification is completed.

9. Click the Close box to exit the Scan Validation Tool.

Viewing test images The images you scanned can be found in the TWAIN folder on the C

drive. Files will be named using the following naming convention:
image0000001A.jpg is a front image; image0000001B.jpg is a back
image. Double-click on this file to open and view the captured image.

Because factory default settings were used, the image quality may not
be optimized to meet your needs. To learn more about image
processing features, go to Chapter 4, Image Processing.

When testing has been completed, delete the test images.

Application software Some scanning applications are available on the CDs packed with your

scanner.

You may also use other capture applications. See the User’s Guide
provided with these applications for instructions on how to use the
software.
