Document
preparation
Before you begin scanning documents, make certain the documents
can be fed through the scanner easily.
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so
the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under
the feed module; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into
the scanner one at a time.
• Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner and
documents. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.
• Documents with missing corners, perforated edges, hole punches in
the margins, irregular and curled edges, 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 with the lead edge of the document aligned with the
folded edge of the sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a
time, folded edge first, while using the gap release lever. Ultrasonic
multi-feed detection is not recommended when using plastic sleeves.
NOTE: When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the
elevator tray side guides must be aligned to accommodate the
width of the sleeve.
Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that
represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most
common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is
achieved when scanning documents within the recommended
document specifications listed below. Scanning documents outside of
these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of scanner
reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.

4The Enhanced Printer
This chapter provides instructions for using the Enhanced Printer. The
following information and procedures can be found in this chapter:
• Overview information about the Enhanced Printer, including
information about print fields and printer specifications.
• Setting horizontal printer positions.
• Replacing the ink cartridge and ink blotter strips.
NOTE: More detailed information on the Enhanced Printer can be found
in the Image Processing Guide, A-61504.
OverviewThe Kodak i600 Series Scanners include a factory-installed, pre-
configured front printer. The printer operates at full scanner speed. The
printer can add a date, time, document sequential counter, and custom
messages.
The printer is unique in that the document print string can be configured
to include both literal (static) information (i.e., information that stays the
same for each document, such as batch name or operator) and
dynamic information (i.e., information that may change for each page
scanned, such as the document sequential counter). The capture
software application controls static fields; any information that the
software allows you to enter can be sent to the printer.
All printer controls and functions are accessible through the ISIS Driver
or TWAIN Data source. Printing must be enabled or disabled for each
scan session.
NOTES:
• Clean the scanner’s paper path components daily when using the
printer.
• You cannot print on documents that are smaller than 10 cm (4 in.).
• The ink cartridge must be installed prior to powering on the scanner,
or it could result in errors when printing is attempted.

5Maintenance
This chapter provides:
• a cleaning frequency chart
• a list of cleaning tools and materials
• a list of supplies and accessories
• cleaning procedures for the scanner
• replacement procedures for parts that are customer-replaceable
IMPORTANT: Scanner components marked with a green tab indicate
operator-accessible parts.
Cleaning your scanner and preventative maintenance on a regular
basis is required to ensure the best possible image quality. The
following is a preventative maintenance procedure that is
recommended to prevent costly interruptions during production
scanning. Following this procedure as recommended should take
approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Some document types generate more paper dust and debris and may
require more frequent cleaning than recommended.
NOTES:
• 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 or feed module if necessary.
• When cleaning rollers/tires, allow the rollers/tires to dry completely
before scanning.
• Using unapproved cleaning fluids or solvents may damage the rubber
tires.

Make sure that:
• when the software was installed, it was installed by someone with
Administrator privileges.
Make sure that:
• the power cord is plugged in and the power is on.
• all doors are completely closed.
• the scanner is enabled from the host.
• documents are making contact with the feed module.
• for documents that require special handling, press the gap release
lever during feeding.
• the documents meet specifications for size, weight, etc.
• if you are feeding small documents, be sure that the documents are
covering the paper present sensor on the elevator tray.
• you check the feed module, separation roller, and pre-separation pad
for signs of wear and replace these parts if necessary.
• a very dark document on the bottom of a stack, or curled document
lead edges, can sometimes confuse the paper present sensor. Place a
white sheet of paper at the bottom of the stack and scan again.
• the imaging guides are clean. See Chapter 5, Maintenance.
• the scanner has been calibrated. See Chapter 3, “Calibrating the
scanner”.
If unsatisfactory image quality persists, call Service.
• you are using the proper calibration target and it is oriented correctly for
the type of calibration you are performing. The Image calibration target
and Ultrasonics calibration target are different.
• the imaging guides are clean.
• the transport is clear of obstructions.
• the sensors are clean.
If unsatisfactory image quality persists, call Service.
• the output tray and side guides are adjusted for the length of the
documents being scanned.
• all jammed documents have been removed from the transport area.
• documents meet specifications for size, weight, height or batched
documents, etc.
• the sensors are clean.
• the separation roller, feed module, and pre-separation pad are clean
and properly installed.
• the transport rollers are clean.
• you check feed roller, separation roller and pre-separation pad for
signs of wear and replace as needed.

ProblemPossible Solution
Long documents are not feeding or are
jamming
Roller marks appear on the documents
after scanning
Vertical streaks appear on the imageMake sure that:
The enhanced printer is not printing as
desired
White lines appear at the top of the
image and run through the documents
Side guides will not move
Make sure that:
• the elevator tray extender is pulled out to provide support for long
documents.
• the output tray is adjusted for the length of the documents being
scanned.
• the output tray is installed properly.
Clean the feed module rollers, separation rollers and transport rollers.
• when you calibrate the scanner that you are using a good, clean
calibration target and that the imaging guides are clean. Use the
calibration target provided with your scanner. See Chapter 5,
Maintenance.
If you are having problems printing on scanned documents:
• verify that the ink cartridge is not empty.
• make sure that the ink cartridge is properly installed in the Enhanced
Printer.
• make sure that the ink cartridge is located in the correct position for
printing.
• make sure that the ink cartridge carrier is properly seated in its slot.
• verify that all printer connectors are securely fastened and that the
printer cable is securely attached.
• verify that the printer has been enabled through the host and that the
expected print string has been specified.
• The imaging guides may be dirty. See Chapter 5, Maintenance.
• Check for scratches on the imaging guides. If scratches are on the
imaging guides, replace them.
• Remove all documents from the elevator tray and be sure the locking
switch is in the unlocked position.
