Calibrating the
scanner/microimager

NOTE: Disregard this section if the current mode configuration is

filming only.

Calibration sets the intensity of the lamps, which contributes to the
overall quality of the scanned document image.

The scanner/microimager should be calibrated:

• At least once a day when the scanner/microimager is turned on

using the side panel switch — prior to scanning documents.

• Any time the scanner/microimager is turned on using the main

power switch.

• If image quality is poor.

• After changing a Document Scanning Array lamp.

Calibrate the scanner/microimager using a calibration target (sheet of
paper) that is:

• Blank

• Clean

• Matte finish (not glossy)

• White or the same color as the background color of the documents

to be scanned. If you are scanning a variety of colored documents,
use a white calibration target.

• Wider than the documents you are going to scan (i.e., to scan

8 1/2 x 11 inch (215.9 x 279.4 mm) documents, the calibration
target should be wider than 8 1/2 inches (215.9 mm). The
recommended width for the calibration target is 12 inches (300
mm).

2-10 A-61096 June 1999

To calibrate the scanner/microimager:

1. Verify the main power and side panel switches are on. A normal

operating status display should appear.

2. Press P5 or enter function code F37 to start the calibration

sequence.

3. Insert the calibration target into the feeder.

Calibration
target

NOTE:When using a Document Scanner/Microimager 990S, you

are prompted to enter the calibration target once. When
using a Document Scanner/Microimager 990D, you are
prompted to enter the calibration target twice.

Unsuccessful calibration

When calibration is successful, the status display returns to a normal
operating display.

If calibration is not successful, a message appears in the status
display.

You may need to:

• Verify you are using a clean, blank sheet of paper as a calibration

target.

• Verify there is not a document already in the document path. (Refer

to the section entitled, “Clearing the document path” in Chapter 7.)

• Clean the Document Scanning Array. (Refer to the section entitled,

“Cleaning the Document Scanning Array” in Chapter 5.)

• Calibrate the scanner/microimager again. If calibration fails again,

change the lamps. (Refer to the section entitled, “Replacing the
exposure lamps” in Chapter 5.)

If you have done all of the above and calibration still fails, contact your
service representative.

A-61096 June 1999 2-11

Adjusting t he feed and
separator roller gap

IMPORTANT:

Before adjusting the feed and separator roller gap, be
sure the feed and separator rollers are clean. Cleaning
the feed and separator rollers will frequently resolve
document feeding problems.

The adjustment procedure should only be done when
feeding and separating problems continue after the
feed and separator rollers have been cleaned . For
procedures on cleaning rollers, see Chapter 5,
Maintenance.

The gap adjustment knob on the control panel increases or decreases
the space between the feed and separator rollers. The gap must be
adjusted properly for smooth transportation of documents without
document overlap.

When documents of different thicknesses are fed in a group, adjust the
gap using the thinnest document in the group.

The feed and separator roller gap may have to be adjusted to
compensate for:

• Very thin documents (onion skin, tracing paper, etc.).

• Very thick documents (card stock, punch cards, cover stock).

• Some coated documents (photographic paper, plastic-coated

paper).

If the gap is not adjusted properly:

• More than one document at a time may be drawn into the transport

system at the same time; not all of the documents will be
scanned/filmed.

• Documents may be drawn into the transport too quickly; documents

may overlap or be spaced too closely (causing an error display).

• Documents may become skewed during transport; jamming may

occur.
NOTE:Priorto performing the adjustment procedure, the

scanner/microimager must be calibrated and enabled.

To adjust the feed and separator roller gap:

1. Turn on the side panel switch.

2. Enterfunction code F04 and enable counting-only.

3. Press Enter.

4. Press Run.
IMPORTANT:

Do not make a gap adjustment w hile documents are in
the feeder or transport system; doing so will produce an
inaccurate adjustment

.

2-12 A-61096 June 1999

5. Turn the gap adjustment knob clockwise three complete turns, or

until it stops, to open the gap between the feed and separator
rollers.

6. Turn the gap adjustment knob counterclockwise 2 1/2 turns.

7. Select two documents of the same size, texture and thickness,

similar to the types of documents you will be processing.

8. Place one document on top of the other. Hold the documents firmly

by their trailing edges. Insert them into the gap approximately 1/8
in. (3 mm).

If the documents separate, repeat the following steps until the
documents do not separate:

• Turn the gap adjustment knob clockwise 1/2 turn.

• Insert the documents again.

If the documents do not separate, proceed with Step 9.

9. Rotate the gap adjustment knob counterclockwise 1 or 2 clicks.

10. Hold the trailing edges of the documents firmly. Insert them into

the gap.

• If the bottom document is not separating from the top
document, remove the documents and repeat Steps 9 and 10
until the bottom document separates from the top document by
approximately 1 in. (25.4 mm).

• If the bottom document is separating from the top document,
proceed with Step 11.

A-61096 June 1999 2-13

11. W hen you have adjusted the gap so the bottom document
separates consistently from the top document, rotate the gap
adjustment knob counterclockwise another 1 or 2 clicks to
complete the adjustment.

12. Feed a stack of 50 to 100 documents twice through the transport
system. Verify the final count reflects the total number of
documents that were fed and that the counter shows the same
amount each time the documents are counted.

If the count is not the same, the gap is not adjusted correctly.
Rotate the gap adjustment knob counterclockwise another 1 or 2
clicks and repeat Step 12. Repeat until corrected.

13. Press Stop.

14. Enter function code F04 and disable Counting-only.

15. Press Enter.

Adjusting t he feed shelf
side guides

Before you begin processing documents, adjust the side guides on the
feed shelf to accommodate the documents being processed.

If you are scanning and filming:

• Slide the feed shelf side guides apart, leaving approximately 1/16
in. (2 mm) clearance on each side of the documents. The
documents are automatically centered across the width of the
transport. You may adjust the side guides to feed documents off­center by holding one of the side guides in place and then sliding
the second side guide into the desired position.

If you are filming only (no scan):

1. Determine the lens reduction and film mode you are using
(simplex, duplex, or duo).

2. Slide apart the side guides on the feed shelf until the feed shelf
label is visible.

3. Use the examples on the following page(s) to determine where to
set the side guides. Leave approximately 1/16 in. (2 mm) clearance
on each side of the documents so they feed properly.

IMPORTANT:

Microfilming documents which exceed the maximum

document size can result in loss of document
information on the microfilm.

2-16 A-61096 June 1999

If the documents are smaller than the area shown on the feed shelf
label, center the documents within the label boundaries on the feed
shelf. Readjust the side guides to fit the documents, allowing 1/16 in.
(2 mm) on either side of the document.

If the documents are larger than the area shown on the feed shelf
label, and do not fit between the side guides, rotate and reposition the
documents within the side guides. If the documents still do not fit within
the label boundaries and extend past the side guides, you may have
selected an incorrect lens reduction and/or film mode for the size of
your documents. Refer to the section entitled, “Selecting a lens
reduction” earlier in this chapter. This section lists the maximum
document size allowed by each lens reduction and microfilming mode.

The following examples show the correct placement of the feed shelf
side guides for each possible combination of lens reduction and film
mode:

Running an exposure
step test

An Exposure Step Test is run to determine the proper AEC illumination
level.

Perform an Exposure Step Test whenever one (or more) of the
following conditions is true:

• After changing exposure lamps.

• Before using a diff erent type of microfilm.

• Before using a different microfilm processing lab.

• After a change in processing lab results are noticed.

Before running an Exposure Step Test, clean all mirrors and imaging
guides. Refer to Chapter 7,

Maintenance

.

The following procedure outlines how to generate a step test filmstrip.
After the test is completed, the film should be unloaded and
processed. It is recommended that no filming take place until the
results of the test are evaluated and the proper AEC illumination level
is determined.

1. Prepare 10 plain white forms numbering them from 0 through 9.
The numbers should be at least 1 in. (25 mm) high.

2. Insert two film cassettes, loaded with the same type of microfilm to
be used during normal operation.

NOTE: If you do not have two f ilm cassettes, insert a single film

cassette in the upper slot, run the Exposure Step Test,
change to the lower slot, and rerun the Exposure Step
Test.

3. Enterfunction code F24. Verify that the AEC is turned on. If it is not
on, press 1 and then Enter to turn it on.

4. Enterfunction code F25.

• Use the left arrow key to change the base illumination level to 0

(the lightest setting). Press Enter and then Run. Select the
plain white form with the number 0 printed on it. Feed the
document into the transport two or three times.

• Use the right arrow key to change the base illumination level to

the next highest setting. Press Enter and then Run. Select the
plain white f orm with the next highest number on it. Feed the
document into the transport two or three times.

• Repeat this process until all 10 forms have been f ilmed.

10. Remove the film from the cassettes using the steps outlined in
Chapter 3,

Operating the Scanner/microimager.

11. Place each filmstrip in separate boxes and label each box with the
following information:

Preparing documents for
scanning

• Exposure Step Test

• Date of Test

• Upper or lower cassette used

• Type of microfilm used

• Machine used f or test (if more than one machine is on-site)

12. Send the f ilm for processing. For consistency, use the same
processing lab that processes your regular production work.

13. W hen the film is returned, evaluate it to determine which settings
produced the best images. Use a microfilmreader for the initial
evaluation; in addition, view the images via a reader/printer, or
however the end user see it.

Before you begin processing documents, be sure the documents will
feed through the scanner/microimager easily:

• Remove any staples, rubber bands, loose mending tape, or paper
clips from the documents to be processed.

• Straighten wrinkled edges and tape any torn documents.

• Trim ragged edges.

When using the automatic feeder, make certain all documents are of
similar size, texture, thickness and weight; and that the leading edges
of all documents are aligned.

A-61096 June 1999 3-1

Selecting a mode

The scanner/microimager offers 18 modes that may be programmed
for a particular application or group of applications.

The modes are programmed at the time of installation and stored for
easy access and use.

Typically, the mode is selected via the host system, using a scanner­unique command. However, you may manually select a mode.

To select a mode, either:

• Enter function code F01 (Select Mode) or F91 (Select Linked
Mode).

or

• Check with yo ur system administrator to see if one or more of the P
keys has been preprogrammed to perform specific functions.

Temporary operating
values

Each of the 18 modes programmed at the time of installation contain
definitions that affect the output of the scanner/microimager. Each
mode is programmed to conform to the output requirements of a
particular application or group of applications.

There may be instances, however, when a particular application
requires some variation of an existing mode. In such instances, mode
definitions may be changed using available function codes. See
Chapter 4,

function code F59 to temporarily change the starting print position.

Setting the automatic
exposure control

Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) provides optimal film quality by
helping to ensure that filmed documents are exposed at the proper
level.

Before filming documents, determine whether the AEC should be
turned on or off.

When AEC is turned on, it automatically adjusts for variations in
contrast, color, etc. Typically, AEC is turned on for average or normal
documents.

When AEC is turned off, it is fixed at a particular level f or documents
which have large areas of dense shading, etc.). Typically AEC is
turned off f or filming special documents such as transparencies, onion
skin documents or highly reflective documents.

NOTE: It is assumed that an Exposure Step Test has been

performed to determine the proper illumination level. Refer to
Chapter 2

To verify the mode selected specifies that AEC is on:

• Enter function code F24 (AEC On/Off).
The display shows: Automatic Exposure Control OFF (or ON)

Checking the film

r

supply

The film supply indicators, located on the left side of the control panel,
are used to determine whether or not there is enough film to complete
the job. The indicator has 10 vertical bars, each representing 10% of a
full roll of film (i.e., if all 10 bars are displayed, a full roll of film is
available; if 8 bars are displayed 80% of the roll is available, and so
on). A warning message appears when the film supply is down to
10%.

Upper cassette indicator

Feeding documents

After the scanner/microimager has been prepared for operation, and
the desired mode and any temporary operating values have been
defined, you are ready to feed documents into the transport.

1. Verify the side panel switch is on and all proper adjustments have
been made (feeder side guides, exit hopper side guides, etc.).

2. Press Run.

3. Select a stack of documents that is no more than a ½-inch (1 cm)
thick.

4. Fan the stack of documents so the leading edge of the top
document engages the feed/separator rollers as shown:

5. Place the stack of f anned documents into the feeder so the leading
edge of the top document contacts the feed/separator rollers. The
documents are drawn into the transport, with the top document
being fed first. The documents are deposited in the exit hopper
face down, in the order in which they were fed into the transport.

6. Repeat Steps 3 through 5 until all of the application documents
have been fed into the transport.

7. Press Stop after all documents have been deposited in the exit
hopper.

NOTE: When using simplex or duplex mode, the f ully or partially

exposed roll(s) of f ilm can be unloaded when the
application is completed. When using duo mode, refer to
the section “Using duo mode” later in this chapter.

gap release lever. It will return to its original position. The feed and
separator rollers will return to the previously adjusted positions.

3-6 A-61096 June 1999

Using duo mode

Duo mode allows you to double the number of single-sided documents
exposed on a single roll of film. This is done by rotating the cassette(s)
after the first side of the film has been fully exposed. Documents are
first exposed down one side of the film (channel A), until the end of the
roll is reached. Then, the cassette(s) are rotated and documents are
exposed down the other side of the film (channel B).

Due to the way in which documents are exposed when using duo
mode, the following recommendations are made:

• Do not mix duo mode microfilming with simplex or duplex mode
microfilming using the same roll of film.

• Do not unload a partially exposed roll of film created using duo
mode.

The following steps illustrate the use of duo mode:

1. Feed documents into the transport as described in the section
entitled, “Feeding documents”.

2. A message appears in the status display when the first side of the
film has been fully exposed:

E212 End of side 1, flip cassette

housing contains two lamps.

Change the lamps every 500 hours, when image quality appears to be
degrading (and standard maintenance procedures do not improve the
image quality), or when requested to do so by an operator message.
Always replace both lamps in a housing at the same time, or
exposures may appear inconsistent. Always use the recommended
lamps, or image quality may be unacceptable.

NOTE: If the replacement lamp is a different color than the lamp

being replaced, contact your service representative to
perform required power supply adjustments.

Clearing the
document path

If a document becomes lodged in the scanner/microimager transport
system, the system stops running and a message appears in the
status display.

A document can become lodged in the transport system when:

• Documents are not fed straight (skewed).

• Documents are torn, badly folded, or wrinkled.

• Staples and paper clips were not removed from documents.

• Imaging guides are not seated properly or are not installed.

• Transport system baffle plates are not firmly closed.

The document path can be cleared easily because:

• No tools are needed.

• Easy-access panels let you quickly locate and clear documents.

The document path

There are six areas in the transport system where documents may
become lodged and need to be removed:

E

F

D

C

A

B

A The feeder/horizontal transport area
B The imaging guide area
C The lower roller assembly area
D The vertical transport area
E The upper turn area
F The document exit area
