Automatically pausing and resuming the scanner

Manually ending scanning

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 while waiting for the host computer to read existing images.
The scanner automatically resumes scanning by restarting the feeder once image buffer memory is cleared. To avoid this situation be sure your host computer meets the minimum system requirements as referred to in Chapter 2.
After feeding the last document to be scanned, you can end scanning by pressing the Stop/Pause button on the scanner twice. An end of job message will be sent to your host application.
You cannot continue scanning without restarting the job from the host application.

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.

Feeding documents using multi-feed detection

The scanner has three multi-feed detection sensors. When Multi-feed detection is enabled, adjust the side guides so the documents fully cover at least one sensor. If the document partially covers a sensor, false multi-feeds may occur.

Automatic feeding To scan a batch of documents follow the guidelines for size, type,

quantity, etc., outlined in the “Document preparation” section.
For faster throughput, place documents into the elevator tray in landscape orientation (longer side as the leading edge).
IMPORTANT: Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the
scanner. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.
1. Align the leading edges of the stacked documents.
2. Position the stack of the documents, face up in the elevator tray so it
covers the paper present sensor.
3. Adjust the elevator tray side guides.
4. Adjust the output tray position, if necessary.
5. Adjust the output tray end stop, if necessary.
Depending on how your scanner is set up, your documents will automatically start scanning, or you may need to press the Start/ Resume button to begin scanning.

Continuous feeding Continuous feeding can be used when you want to scan small batches

of documents (less than 25).
When the scanner is configured for continuous feeding, the elevator tray is raised to a position where approximately 25 documents can be loaded. The elevator tray will remain in this position to allow more documents to be loaded to the bottom of the stack.
To continuously feed documents, follow Steps 1 through 5 above. As the documents are being scanned, you can continuously add a batch of documents to the bottom of the stack.
NOTE: Depending on how your scanner is configured, the transport will
stop when the Transport Timeout has been reached.
A-61500 April 2007 3-9

Manual feeding To manually feed documents:

1. Position the document you want to feed in the elevator tray so that
the paper present sensor is covered.
2. Press Start/Resume.

Feeding documents that require special handling

The gap release lever allows you to manually adjust the space between the feed module and separation roller for documents that require special handling; i.e. documents that are badly torn. If you are in doubt about whether a damaged document can be transported through the scanner, use the gap release lever and manually feed the document. Using the scanner in continuous feed mode is recommended when handling special documents.
1. Press and hold the gap release lever — this provides clearance to
ease document feeding.
2. Push the document into the elevator tray. If more than one
document is to be scanned, feed them one at a time.
3. After the document(s) has been fed, release the gap release lever.
3-10 A-61500 April 2007

Calibrating the scanner

There are two types of calibration that can be performed on the i600 Series Scanners: Image calibration and Ultrasonics calibration.
Image calibration: optimizes the optical system in your scanner in order to achieve the best overall quality of scanned images. Frequent calibration is not needed or recommended.
IMPORTANT: If the White Background Accessory is installed, it must be
replaced with the black background strip, and the scanner must be rebooted prior to calibration.
Ultrasonics calibration: ensures that the ultrasonics system that detects multi-feeds and document edges is properly adjusted for best performance. Frequent calibration is not needed or recommended.

Image calibration Use the calibration target provided with your scanner. Be sure to use a

good, clean calibration target. Additional calibration targets can be ordered. See Chapter 5, “Supplies and accessories” for ordering information.

4 The 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.

Overview The 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.

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 will be approximately 250,000 documents; results will vary. Degradation of feeder performance, multiple feeds, stoppages, etc. indicate a need to change tires. Change all the tires on the feed module and separation roller at the same time.
Feed Module and Separation Roller — it is recommended that you
install a new feed module and separation roller approximately 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 pre-
separation pad approximately every 250,000 documents.
Imaging Guides — replace when the imaging guides are heavily
scratched and defects show in the image.
