Document preparation
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 you scan documents within the recommended document
specifications listed below. Scanning documents that are outside of these
specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of scanner
reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.
Before you start scanning, make sure the documents can be fed through
the scanner easily. Best performance is obtained by feeding a good,
clean lead edge. This means the side of the paper which enters the
feeder first should be in the best possible condition.
Use the guidelines below when preparing your documents for scanning.
• Remove staples, rubber bands, loose mending tape or paper clips.
• Straighten wrinkled edges and tape any torn documents.
• Trim ragged edges (steno paper, perforated edges, tractor feed
edges). If ragged edges cannot be trimmed, it is suggested that you
try different feeding orientations to determine which orientation feeds
best.
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged to
have a common leading edge. Documents may be left-, right-, or
center-aligned in the elevator tray allowing the documents to be fed
into the scanner one at a time.
IMPORTANT: Proper alignment of documents is very important.
Documents must be fed under both feed module tires.
Gap release lever
Feed module tires
• Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully
through the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every
possible type of damaged paper. If damaged documents do not feed
through the transport automatically, feed the documents manually.
Use of the gap release lever may be required.
2-2 A-61169 January 2005
Page 15
• For heavily damaged documents, a clear document protector can be
used with the following limitations:
– Manual feeding is recommended when using a clear document
protector.
– The document in the clear document protector must be fed under
both feed module tires.
– Multi-feed detection must be disabled when manually feeding a
document in a clear document protector.
NOTE: When using a document protector, feed the fold of the
document protector first rather than the open end.
The correct document preparation when using a document protector
is illustrated below:
Small or damaged
Clear
Document
Protector
document
Acceptable document
materials
Recommended paper
weights
Acceptable document
sizes
• Original and recycled papers
• Photographic papers
• Bond (i.e., laser, inkjet, etc.)
• Carbonless paper (some types of carbonless papers contain
chemicals that may react with feed module and separation tires
possibly requiring more frequent tire changes)
The elevator tray handles a broad range of paper weights, from 50g
(13 lb.) bond paper to 200g (110 lb.) index paper. Heavier documents
may be fed up to 0.76 mm (0.030 in.). Manual feeding mode, using the
gap release lever, may be required to feed heavier paper weights.
• Length:
– Maximum of 76.2 cm (30 in.) with operator-assisted document
feeding and stacking. 43.2 cm (17 in.) is the maximum length for
unattended document feeding.
– Minimum of 6.4 cm (2.5 in.).
• Width:
– Maximum of 29.7 cm (11.7 in./image capture – 12 in./transport)
(A3 width)
– Minimum for automatic feeding of 8.9 cm (3.5 in.)
– Minimum for manual feeding of 6.4 cm (2.5 in.)

paper. The elevator tray can be set to accommodate 25-, 250- 500-, 7501000-document stacks.
The elevator tray can handle some amount of lead edge curl, but to
ensure reliable feeding the curl should be at a minimum. It is suggested
that you try and minimize the curl before scanning by stacking the
documents on a flat surface for a period of time to help flatten the
documents.
To accommodate multiple applications with variable feeding
requirements, the side guides can be adjusted for center- or edgefeeding. Center-feeding is recommended for best paper handling
performance. The side guides can be moved together or independently.
1. Pull the guides all the way out and then push them together (toward
the center) to reset.
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 output
tray
Different paper types stack differently. The output tray can be set with
either the front or the rear higher for best stacking.
To angle the output tray so the back of the output tray is higher:
1. Lift the output tray up and pull it out of its current slot.
2. Reset it in the slot that matches the desired height.
To angle the output tray so the front of the output tray is higher:
• Lift the front of the output tray up, swing the height adjustment leg out
and insert it into the groove below the output tray.
NOTE: Short side guides are standard on the output tray. However, tall
side guides and self-centering parts are included and can be
changed by you. See Chapter 5, Maintenance for procedures.

extenders
2. Place the documents in the elevator tray.
NOTE: Operator assistance is required when feeding documents longer
than 43.2 cm (17 in.).
Continuous feeding allows you to place additional batches of documents in
the elevator tray (with operator assistance). Any time during continuous
scanning, additional documents can be added at the bottom of the input
stack. The elevator position must be set to 25 for continuous and manual
feed operations.
To add to a batch of documents:
• Add a small stack of documents to the bottom of the batch in the
elevator tray, by gently lifting the corner of the stack and adding the
documents underneath the last document.
Manual feeding is recommended when you have a heavily damaged
document, envelope or other thick documents, which may require
additional clearance. Follow the guidelines for document size, weight,
quantity, etc. outlined in the section entitled, “Document preparation”
earlier in this chapter.

The Document Printer
Printed information
The Document Printer 1 uses a standard ink cartridge, which is an
inexpensive and effective way to apply information to the scanned
document and utilize document management systems such as batching
and time-stamping.
The Document Printer 1 provides a print capability that is programmed to
support alphanumeric characters as defined by the host. It supports date,
image address, time, document count and custom messages. All print
information is captured in a document header record. All printer controls

The Patch Reader
Patch types
Patch 1 Patch 4 Patch 6
The Patch Reader allows you to automatically increment the image
address or initiate a special function. Patch sheets are placed in front of
each document during document preparation or on the lead sheet of a
document.
There are 5 possible patch head positions. The patch head position can
be easily changed. Recognition of all patch types will be returned in the
image header. This is in addition to document level information.
See Kodak publication A-61599, Patch Code Information, for complete
information.
Patch Types 1, 4 and 6 these patch types can be used by the host for
post-scan image control (they are not used for image addressing). For
example, use these patch types for changing between bi-tonal and
color/grayscale imaging or workflow control.
IMPORTANT: Do not use these illustrated patches for production – they
are not to spec.
Toggle Patch the Toggle patch is a Type 4 patch that is used to trigger
the scanner to switch from the current image stream (bi-tonal) to the
alternative image stream (color/grayscale).
Toggle Patch
4-10 A-61169 January 2005
Page 45
Patch Types 2, 3 and T these patch types are used for image
addressing. When the Patch Reader detects a patch, it automatically
assigns a new image address to the new document. This eliminates the
task of trying to determine where one document stops and the next starts
when you are viewing electronic images. It provides a hierarchical
document structure and offers an auto-batching alternative.
The Patch Reader controls document level changes by automatically
sensing a predefined patch code and changing the document level
accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Do not use these illustrated patches for production – they
are not to spec.
Patch 2 assigns a Level 2
to the current document
Patch code placement
Patch 3 assigns a Level 3
to the current document
Patch T/Transfer Patch
assigns a predetermined level
to the next document
The Transfer Patch Definition is also defined by the application. The
Transfer Patch Definition controls the level assigned to the next document
when a Transfer Patch is used. For example, if the Transfer Patch
Definition for the current operation is defined as Level 3 and a Transfer
Patch is used, the next document will be assigned Level 3.
Patches must appear parallel to the leading edge of the document:

Maintenance and
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 – 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 Separation Roller – it is recommended that you install
a new feed module approximately every 5th tire change. See the
checklist included in the Replenishment Kit. Install a new feed module
and separation roller at the same time.
• Pre-separation Pad – change each time you change the tires on the
feed module and separation roller.
• Exposure Lamps – it is suggested that all four lamps be replaced
every 500 hours of operation or as necessary (i.e., as reported by the
scanner, repeated image calibration failures, etc.)
• Imaging Guides – replace when the imaging guides are heavily
scratched and defects show in the image.
This section also provides replacement procedures for the:
• Gear for Self-Centering Side Guides – a spacer is installed in the
output tray, which allows the side guides to move independently. If
you want the side guides to move together (self-centering) you can
install the geared spacer that is included with the scanner.
• Side Guides – short side guides are standard with the scanner. A set
of tall side guides is included with your scanner and can be changed
as required by your application.
