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. When relocating the scanner, it is recommended that two people lift the scanner and use safe lifting techniques.
• 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.
• 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 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 website at: www .kodak.com/go/msds. 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.

Scanning

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.
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 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-61771 September 2012 2-3
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 clip s
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 place the document in a clear protective sleeve and use the rear document exit or use the optional Kodak Flatbed Accessory. 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 of the rear document exit.
Use of the gap release.
Scanning at 300 dpi or more to reduce the scanner transpor t speed.
5. When 1 - Color PDF is displayed on the operator control panel, press the Start/Resume/Pause button.

3 Scanner Adjustments

Contents Adjusting the input tray ..............................................................................3-1
Using the rear document exit.....................................................................3-2
Selecting your scanning application ..........................................................3-3

Adjusting the input tray

You can adjust the input tray 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 tr ay to slide the guides in and out.
• Adjusting the input tray for document length — the input tray extender
has two positions. When you are scanning lettersize or A4 documents in landscape mode, you do not need to pull out the input tray extender.
- Document lengths up to 14 inches / 35.6 cm — pull the exten der out to the first position.
- Document lengths from 14 to 17 inches / 35.6 to 43.2 cm — pull the extender out to the full position.
- Document lengths more than 17 inches / 43.2 cm — if you are scanning documents longer than 17 inches / 43.2 cm, the scanner driver must be set to accommodate these long docume nts. Be sure to verify that the Maximum Length option on the Device-General t ab (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.
Document weights — the input elevator is capable of holding the approximate weight of 250 sheets of plain 20# bond (11 x 17 inch / 27.9 x
43.2 cm) paper.
A-61771 September 2012 3-1

Using the rear document exit

Documents that require special handling (i.e., fragile documents, 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).
• documents are fragile and you do not want to bend them.
• 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.
3-2 A-61771 September 2012

Selecting your scanning application

Kodak has included two scanning applications with your scanner: Smart T ouch 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
• to MS SharePoint Server
• to printers
• to other desktop applications
in a variety of popular file formats: PDF, TIFF, JPEG, RTF, BMP and searchable PDF. It’s built in ease and productivity with nothing else to buy.
Nine predefined task shortcuts are available for you to use. You can modify and rename any of the shortcuts to create your own custom tasks. You can also preview and easily edit images (zoom, p an, r otate, crop, and much more) before they are sent to their destination.
For more information about Smart Touch, see the Documentation folder on the CD that came with your scanner or go to: www.Kodak.com/go/smarttouch.
Kodak Capture Desktop Software — an intuitive and easy-to-use capture software application, specifically designed to make processing and sharing scanned documents easy. With Kodak Capture Desktop Software you’ll receive “out of the box” production and be able to immediately capture, edit and output anything from single documents to larger batches in distributed or departmental environments.
Along with the essentials for easy and productive scanning, Kodak Capture Desktop Software shares the design and interface of Kodak Capture Pro Software, which offers many more advanced capabilities for image and data capture automation.
Through a complete set of icon-based tools and other features, Kodak Capture Desktop Software offers simplified scanning. Quickly and easily scan to file, create searchable PDFs or integrate your information into a common location ­such as Microsoft SharePoint.
Kodak Capture Pro Software is also available for use with the Kodak i3000 Series Scanners. Go to www.Kodak.com/go/capturepro for more information.
Many other companies have included support for the Kodak i3000 Series Scanners in their scanning applications. Contact these companies for assistance in using these applications.

This chapter describes the required cleaning and mainte na nce pro c edu res fo r the Kodak i3200/i3400 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 Kodak’s production scanning experience proves that properly cleaning and maintaining your scanner will result in scanning more paper in less time with less issues. A properly maintained Kodak i3200/i3400 Scanner will provide years of trouble-free operation.
Scanner consumables (tires, pre-separation pads, etc.) and cleaning supplies are available from resellers, web merchants and from the Kodak on-line store (http:/scannerstore.kodak.com). Consumables are sold in kits of various sizes. The kits contain the proper mix of tir es, rollers, and pre-sep aration pads so you can easily replace them at the recommende d 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 sep aration roller is normal. Tire debris does not alwa ys mean that the tires are worn or damaged. After cleaning, inspect the tires for wear and replace the separation roller or feed module 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 cleanin g.
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 Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) for more information. The MSDS is available on the Kodak website at www.kodak.com/go/MSDS.
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.

Replacement procedures

This section provides procedures for replacing the following parts. Use the list below as a guideline for frequency of replacement.
Feed module tires and separation roller tires — tire life will vary depending upon paper types, environment and cleanliness. Nominal tire life is approximately 500,000 documents; results will vary. Degradation of feeder performance, multiple feeds, stoppages, etc. indicate a need to change tires.
Feed module and separation roller — it is recommended that you install a new feed module and separation roller every 4th tire change. Install a new feed module and separation roller at the same time.
Pre-separation pad — it is recommended that you change the pre­separation pad at least as often as you change the feed module/separation roller tires.
Front transport roller — depending on paper types, environment and cleanliness, roller life is approximately 1,000,000 documents; results will vary.
