2 Getting Started
Site specifications Place the scanner:
• In a clean area with temperature and relative humidity typical of an
office environment,
• on a stable, level work surface,

IMPORTANT: Only use the scanner indoors in a dry location.
For more information about the scanner specifications, refer to
Appendix B, Specifications .
System requirements Following is the minimum recommended system configuration to run
Kodak i600 Series Scanners.
NOTE:The actual performance of the system depends on the scanning
application, choice of scanning parameters, and the host
computer configuration. If the scanner is not performing at the
optimal speed, a faster computer and/or more RAM may be
necessary to obtain the rated throughput.
Registering your
scanner
• Intel PC (or compatible) with a Pentium IV 2 GHz processor
• PCI slot
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Me, Windows 98SE,
Windows XP (Professional/Home)

1 Separation roller — provides smooth document feeding of various
sizes and textures one document at a time.
2 Ink blotter strips — collects residue from the Document Printer.
3 Imaging guides — the scanner has an upper and lower imaging
guide. It is important to keep the imaging guides clean to obtain
optimum image quality.
CAUTION: Hot surface, avoid contact.
4 NFR rollers — transports the documents through the paper path.
5 Pre-separation pad — provides smooth document feeding of
various sizes and textures one document at a time.
6 Drive rollers — transports documents through the paper path.

7 Paper path sensors — the scanner has 3 (ultrasonic) multi-feed
detection sensors, 1 (optical) paper path sensor and 1 (optical)
paper present sensor. These sensors detect the presence of
documents in the elevator tray and documents in the paper path
during feeding and imaging.

Power Cord Connection — provides power to the scanner. The
scanner is packed with six power cords. Choose the power cord
appropriate for your location and connect it accordingly. Connect the
power cord first to the scanner, then to the wall outlet.
FireWire (IEEE-1394) Connection — before connecting the FireWire
cable, be sure that power to the scanner is off. See the FireWire
instructions packed with the scanner for connection instructions. After
connection, place the cable in the retainer clip located above the
connector.

3 Using the Scanner
This chapter provides the following operational procedures:
• Turning on/off the scanner
• Starting, stopping, pausing and resuming the scanner
• Document preparation
• Adjusting the side guides and output tray
• Scanning documents
• Feeding long documents
• Continuous and manual feeding
• Calibration
Turning the scanner
on and off
• Press the button on the scanner’s lower right-side (I) to power it up.
• Press the button on the scanner’s lower right-side (O) to power it
down.
After you power up the scanner, wait until for it to complete self-test.
When completed, the top green indicator light will remain on and
constant. If this does not occur, refer to Chapter 6, “Indicator lights” for
more information.
IMPORTANT: Always power up the scanner to its ready state before
powering up or restarting the host computer.
Starting and stopping
scanning
A-61500 January 2004 3-1
Scanning is controlled by integration software developed for your
application. To start and stop scanning, refer to the documentation
provided with your integration software.
If your application does not automatically start the scanner transport,
begin the scanning process by pressing the Start/Resume button on
the scanner.
NOTE:Before you start scanning, make sure the scanner is ready for
operation, which is indicated by the top green indicator light
being on and constant.
Manually pausing
While scanning documents:
and resuming the
scanner
• Press the Stop/Pause button on the scanner to stop scanning.
NOTE:Your application may configure the scanner with a transport
timeout function which signals an End of Job. If you do not start/
resume scanning before the timeout expires, you cannot
continue scanning without restarting the job from the host
application.
• Press the Start/Resume button on the scanner to restart scanning
after it has been paused.

Automatically
pausing and
resuming the
scanner
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.

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.
Materials:
• Virgin, recycled and photographic papers
• Clear protective sleeves meeting the size and thickness
requirements in this section
Paper Types: Bond, Laser, Inkjet, Offset
Paper Weights: The elevator tray handles a broad range of paper
weights from 45 to 200 g/m2 (12 to 110 lb.). The Kodak Feeder Kit for
Ultra Lightweight Paper can handle paper weights from 25 to 75 g/m2
(7 to 20 lbs).
Minimum Document Size: 6.4 x 6.4 cm (2.5 x 2.5 in.). Documents as
small as 5 cm (2 in.) (i.e. business cards) can be center-fed, in portrait
orientation one at a time.
A-61500 January 2004 3-3
Maximum Document Size: 30.5 x 66 cm (12 x 26 in.). Documents
larger than 43 cm (17 in.) require operator assistance.
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.
Feeder Capacity: The elevator tray can hold up to 500 sheets of
75 g/m2 (20 lb.) paper.
Adjusting the side
guides
To accommodate multiple applications with variable feeding
requirements, the side guides can be adjusted for right-, left- or centeredge feeding. Center-feeding is recommended for best paper handling
performance. The side guides can be moved together or independently
to achieve offset feeding.
1. Pull the side guides all the way out and then push them together
(toward the center) to reset or center them.
3-4 A-61500 January 2004
2. Open the side guides slightly wider than the documents you will be
feeding.
3. Place the documents in the elevator tray.
4. Adjust the side guides to fit the documents.
Adjusting the back of
the output tray
Different paper types stack differently. The output tray can be set in
either one of two positions. In addition you can raise the front of the
output tray to lift the front edge of the documents.
To raise or lower the back of the output tray:
1. Lift the front of the output tray and pull it out of the detent position.
2. Set the back of the tray either in the upper position or lower position
as desired.
