Getting your scanner ready to scan

A-61837 June 2015 3-1

1. Be sure the scanner is on and ready to scan (Start/Pause button LED is

green and constant).

2. Adjust the input elevator to meet your scanning needs. See the section

entitled, “Adjusting the input elevator” for more information.

3. Adjust the output tray to meet your scanning need s. See the s ec tio n

entitled, “Adjusting the output tray” for more information.

4. Select your scanning application.

Adjusting the input elevator

You can adjust the side guides and input elevator height to accommodate your scanning needs. When the scanner is not in use, the input elevator can be folded up against the scanner.

NOTE: The input elevator must be in the lowest position before closing it.

• Adjusting the side guides — the side guides can be adjusted for right-

edge, left-edge or center feeding. The side guides can b e moved together

for center feeding or independently for offset feeding (right-edge or left-

edge). Before moving the side guides, be sure th e lo ck ing switch is not in

the locked position (see below).

NOTE: When using the optional Enhanced Printer, documents should be

placed in the input elevator in a manner that will align the print string in the proper location. Offset feeding may be required.

• Locking the side guides — side guides may be locked into position after

they are adjusted. This may be helpful when the placement of a print string

is important.

To lock the side guides remove any documents from the input elevator and

move the lock switch to the left (the locked position).

3-2 A-61837 June 2015

• Adjusting the height of the input elevat or — the input elevato r can be set

to accommodate stacks of 25-, 100-, 250- or 500-documents of

20 lb. /80 g/m

bond paper. Input elevator settings are typically made through your scanning application software (e.g ., TWAIN Dat asource or ISIS Driver).

The input elevator setting can be overridden by using the Oper ator Control

Panel. For more information see the section entitled, “Application Overrides” later in this chapter.

When the input elevator is set to the Document Feeder position, the input

elevator will remain in the highest position. When set to 100, 250 or 500, the input elevator will automatically raise to feed documents and lower after the last document in your stack has been fed.

• Adjusting the input elevator

- Document lengths up to 27.9 cm (11 inches) — no adjustments are required.

- Document lengths from 27.9 to 43.2 cm (11 to 17 inches) — pull out the document extender.

- Documents lengths more than 43.2 cm (17 inches) — if you are scanning documents longer than 43.2 cm (17 inches), 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.

NOTES:

• Operator assistance may be required for scanning documents greater

than 43.2 cm (17 inches).

• It is recommended that you use a document extender if you are

scanning documents longer than 43.2 cm (17 inches). Three sizes of document extenders are available for scanning documents from

43.2 cm (17 inches) to 86.36 cm (34 inches). See the section entitled, “Supplies and Consumables” in Chapter 5.

• Document weights — the maximum document weight for the input elevator is the approximate weight of an A3 (11 x 17-inch) 500-sheet ream of paper. If you are scanning documents larger than A3 (11 x 17-inch), the recommended weight capacity should not exceed

4.5 kg (10 pounds). If the documents you ar e scanning are larger than A3 (11 x 17-inch), scan less than 100 sheets at a time.

A-61837 June 2015 3-3

Installing the document extender

• Insert the ends o f the document extender into the holes on the in put elevator or the output tray and lower the extender into position.

Adjusting the output tray for rear edge alignment or improved or best document handling

The Kodak i4250, i4650 and i4850 Scanners are designed with improved stacking performance which allows most users to scan documents without the assistance of the output tray side guides and document stop. With one or bo th side guides down and the height adjustment tab raised, you can quickly and easily remove the scanned documents from the front-, right- or left-side of the scanner. Try using this method before using the side guides and document stop with Improved or Best Document Handling enabled in the scanning application or through the Operator Control Panel using the Application Overrides function.

NOTE: If you find it more convenient to use the side guides and document

stop, see the next section for adjustment procedures.

• Adjusting the angle of the output tray — it is strongly recommended that you scan documents with the Improved or Best Document Handling option enabled in the scanning application along with the angle of the output tray in the “up” position to achieve best stacking performance. Just lift the front of the output tray and the height adjustment tab will release from underneath the output tray.

3-4 A-61837 June 2015

To lower the output tray, gently push the height adjustment tab underneath

the output tray while lowering the output tray on the printer access cover.

• Adjusting the side guides — open and adjust the side guides on the output tray to match the position of the side guides on the input elevator.

The side guides can also be folded flat against the output tray.

• Adjusting the document stop — adjust the output tray document stop to slightly longer than the longest document being fed. If you are scanning documents longer than the output tray will accommodate, fold the document stop flat on the output tray.

A-61837 June 2015 3-5

Adjusting the output tray for lead edge alignment and normal document handling

The Kodak Lead Edge Alignment Exit Tray Accessory is available if you want the edges of your documents to align against the output tray document stop after scanning. For more information about using this exit tray, see the instructions that came with this accessory.

Using the rear document exit

Documents that require special handling (e.g., fragile documents, shipping envelopes, etc.) can be output using the rear document exit. This exit provides the straight-through paper p ath option that a llows an exception document(s) to pass straight through the transport, thus reducing the possibility of a document jam.

Use the rear document exit when:

• documents are too stiff (e.g., rigid) to make the turn in the transport and are jamming.

• documents are fragile and you do not want to bend them.

• output sta cking order is not important.

• scanning directly into the recycle bin when documents are no longer needed after scanning.

• scanning photographs.

NOTES:

• Be sure to toggle the rear document exit switch back 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.

3-6 A-61837 June 2015

Getting your documents ready to scan

1. 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 elevator. This allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a time.

2. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. Staples and paper

clips on documents may damage the scanner and documents.

3. All inks and correction fluids on the paper must be dry before scanning is

started.

4. 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, 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, using the gap release toggle switch.

NOTE: The optional Kodak A3 Flatbed Accessory or the Kodak Legal

Flatbed Accessory can also be used for scanning fragile documents.

5. Place the documents you want to scan in the input elevator.

NOTES:

• 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 toggle switch.

- Removal of the pre-separation pad.

- Scanning at 300 dpi or more to reduce the scanner transport speed.

A-61837 June 2015 3-7

Scanning documents The scanner must be enabled to scan documents. This is done through the

scanning application. After enabling the scanner, depending on how your scanner is configured, your scanner will either automatically start scanning (i.e., auto start), or will start scanning when you press the Start/Pause button on the Operator Control Panel. For more information, see the documentation that supports your scanning application.

1. After you prepare your documents according to the guidelines in the

previous section, be sure your scan job is set up in your scanning application as desired.

2. Place the documents you want to scan in the input elevator.

3. Start scanning via your scanning application.

Starting, stopping and pausing the scanner

Quick clean using the Start/ Pause button

You can manually start, stop or pause the scanner while scanning documents.

• To temporarily pause scanning, press the Start/Pause button on the Operator Control Panel once.

• Press the Start/Pause on the Operator Control Panel to restart scanning after it has been paused.

• If you want to stop scanning, press Stop on the Operator Control Panel.

NOTE: During scanning the scanner monitors its own internal image buffer

memory. In order to prevent overwriting images before the host computer can retrieve them, the scanner will automatically pause the feeder and will resume scanning when enough internal buffer memory is free.

When the scanner is in the paused state, the scanner cover can be opened without disabling the scanner. If you notice streaks on your images while scanning, you can press the Start/Pause button to quickly clean the imaging guides in the middle of scanning a batch of documen ts. To do this:

• Press the Start/Pause button, open the scanner cover, clean the imaging guides, close the scanner cover and press the St art/Pause button. See the section entitled, “Cleaning the imaging guides - basic” in Chapter 5 for procedures.
