1.2 Safety Guidelines

WARNING

Please read these safety guidelines before you operate or maintain the scanner and follow them exactly. These safety guidelines are recommended for your safety and to extend the life of your scanner.

• The scanner weighs approximately 112 pounds (51 kg). Be sure to incorporate the appropriate manpower (taking into consideration your lifting capabilities) before moving or lifting the scanner

• Make sure all electrical outlets are properly grounded. The use of a dedicated power line is recommended

S008769 Rev A 1

CAUTION

Due to the inconsistencies in power (i.e. power surges, spikes and ground noise), BBH highly recommends the use of a power conditioner with all of its scanning products and attached computer components. The use of a BBH recommended power conditioner eliminates the degradation and possible destruction of sensitive electronic components, as well as any disruptive events that can occur due to unwanted voltage between neutral and ground. For more information, please visit our web site at 1-800-SCAN-494.

• The socket outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible

• Make sure the scanner is connected to the correct voltage before connecting it to the power line (see ”1.6

Specifications” on page 13 for voltage requirements)

• Use a voltage level that does NOT vary more than ±10% from the voltage level marked on the scanner name-plate. The name-plate is located on the back of the scanner

• Only use the power cord supplied with the scanner

• Do NOT use an extension cord

• Do NOT leave the power cord plugged in the AC outlet if the scanner is not used for an extended period

• Do NOT, under any circumstances, remove or obstruct the function of any safety feature

• Do NOT over-ride the safety interlock

OTE

When the scanner’s transport cover is open, a safety interlock removes power from the transport circuitry before any hazardous parts are accessible. This interlock protects the Operator from the possibility of the transport running while the scanner’s transport cover is open.

• Place the scanner in a clean, well ventilated room that is free of combustible vapors

• To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do NOT expose this scanner to rain or any type of moisture

• Do NOT place the scanner in direct sunlight or in a cold draft

• Do NOT place the scanner near a heating appliance or air conditioning vent. Do NOT place the scanner in a room with extremely high or low humidity (see ”1.6

Specifications” on

page 13 for environmental requirements)

• Do NOT place the scanner near other appliances or near machinery that generate large amounts of electro-magnetic interference (EMI)

• Do NOT place the scanner on carpet. Static electricity can cause the scanner to malfunction

• Allow for the minimum clearances stipulated under ”1.3

Operating Environment” on page 3

along with an additional 4-5 inches (10 - 13 cm) of clearance at the front, back, and both sides of the scanner for proper ventilation

• Place the scanner at the front edge of a sturdy, level surface

2 S008769 Rev A

• Do NOT lean on the scanner

• Do NOT place any liquids near the scanner. Accidental spillage of liquid into the scanner may cause severe damage. If this occurs, power OFF the scanner and unplug the power cord. Contact a BBH Authorized Service Provider (ASP). A list of ASPs can be found on the BBH web site at www.bbhscanners.com

• Ngenuity scanners contain Beam Class 1 LEDs. This class is eye-safe under all operating conditions

• Prior to scanning, remove all staples and paper clips from the documents to be scanned

• Remove all jewelry or any other items from the hands and wrists that could become caught on scanner components during operation and maintenance

• Do NOT disassemble the scanner. Doing so will void your warranty. If there is a need to disassemble the scanner, please contact a BBH Authorized Service Provider (ASP). A list of ASPs can be found on the BBH web site at www.bbhscanners.com

• Note to ASPs: Disconnect the scanner from its power source before servicing

1.3 Operating Environment

Getting Started

The scanner equipment has been designed to operate in a normal office environment with emphasis on the following:

• Place the scanner in a clean, well ventilated room that is free of combustible vapors

• Make sure all outlets are properly grounded. Use of a dedicated power line is recommended

AUTION

• The minimum clearances stipulated in the following images (Side View-1 on page 4, Side

View-2 on page 4, Top View on page 5, which can be found in this section) are allowed for,

with approximately 4-5” (10 - 13 cm) of clearance at the front, back, and both sides of the scanner for proper ventilation:

There are two transport cover release levers, one located on the left side of the scanner and one on the right. The Operator is required to pull one or both lever mechanisms towards them while standing in the front of the scanner to release and open the scanner’s transport cover for opening in an upward position.

The transport cover is a hinged cover that can be opened to access the scanner’s transport. It opens in an upward position and will stay open in a full up position with the support of two gas springs that are located inside the scanner - one on either side (see Side View-2 on page 4 image of the transport cover in a full up position).

The document output guides are used to guide the scanned document(s) out of the transport into a neat stack on the exit tray

The exit tray can be positioned in one of three ways:

Tilted Forward - Tabs at the back of the exit tray are installed in the uppermost slots (found directly below where documents exit the scanner). This causes the exit tray to tilt in a downward position towards the front of the scanner. This position is conducive to forward movement which can assist long documents exiting the scanner.

Tilted Backward - Tabs at the back of the tray are installed in the bottom-

The kickstand wire is braced or positioned against the stops found on the scanner’s upper center cover (stops are located directly beneath the exit tray - see image above) so that documents exiting the scanner are positioned to the back of the exit tray. This is useful when scanning small documents such as checks.

Document Stop

The document stop guide is adjustable for length and is used to stop forward motion of the document(s) leaving the scanner’s transport. It assists the document output guides in positioning the document(s) into a neat stack. Pull the document stop guide out (towards the front of the scanner) to lengthen the distance of forward motion documents travel exiting the scanner or push the document stop guide in (towards the back of the scanner) to shorten the distance of forward motion documents travel when exiting the scanner.

The exit tray’s document stop guide should be placed in a down position and not used when scanning extra long documents that require the use of the exit tray extender (see #14

in this table).

NOTE

Positioning the document stop guide too close to the back of the exit tray (towards the back of the scanner) can cause documents to jam as they exit the scanner if the distance they are allowed to travel is shorter then the length of the actual

Before completely unpacking your scanner, inspect the shipping cartons and their contents for any signs of damage. If there is damage, notify the freight carrier immediately to file a damage claim.

Save all of the shipping cartons and packaging materials that come with your Ngenuity scanner. If it is ever necessary to move or ship the unit or any of its accessories, pack them in their original cartons.

Scanners and/or accessories must be returned in the original packing carton and inserts. BÖWE BELL + HOWELL and the carrier will not accept responsibility for damages incurred during shipping if the scanner is returned in anything but the original carton and packaging material.

If you need to return the scanner and do not have the original packaging material, a packaging kit can be provided to you. Contact the BBH Sales at 1-800-SCAN-494 for more details (charges may apply).
