Safety
User Precautions
• Place the scanner on a sturdy, level work surface capable of supporting 50.8 kg (112 lbs) and leave adequate clearance on
all sides of the scanner.
• When relocating the scanner, it is recommended that two people lift the scanner and use safe lifting techniques.
• Do not install the scanner in a location subject to dust, humidity or steam. This may cause electrical shock or a fire. Only use
the scanner indoors in a dry location.
• Make sure the electrical power outlet is located within 1.52 meters (5 feet) of the scanner and is easily accessible.
• When disconnecting equipment from the electric socket, be sure to grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Be sure the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause electrical shock or fire.
• Do not damage, knot, cut or modify the power cord or use a damaged power cord. This may cause electrical shock or fire.
• The scanner requires a dedicated and properly grounded power outlet. Do not use an extension cord or power strip with the
scanner.
• Do not leave the power cord plugged into the AC outlet if the scanner is not used for an extended period of time.
• Leave sufficient space around the power outlet so it can be easily unplugged in case of an emergency.

Control panel The control panel is located on the front of the scanner. The LEDs and
audible tones notify you of the current state of the scanner (e.g., power
state, maintenance needed, active features, errors, etc.).
The control panel has five sections:
•Status
• Feeder table
• Custom functions
• Scan monitor
• Batch control
This chapter provides detailed information for control panel
functionality.
A-61662 April 2010 3-1
Status The status area of the control panel consists of: Power Mode, Back
Door, Maintenance and Manual Feed.
Power Mode — this green LED indicates the power status or transition
between power modes.
Power State/Transition Power Mode LED
Off Off
Sleep>Powered up Blinking, fast
Ready>Active Steady green
Ready>Sleep Blinking, fast
Sleep Blinking, slow
When the scanner is in sleep mode, the Power Mode LED is the only
indicator that is active; all others are off.
Depending on the current Power Mode, the buttons on the control panel
perform different actions. The following table identifies the function of
the buttons during various Power Modes and transitions.
Power State/Transition Power Mode LED
Off Control panel and scanner are not on.
Sleep>Ready Buttons are not active during this transition.
Ready>Active All buttons perform their normal functions. Press and
hold the Stop button for 5 seconds to start the

mode.
Ready>Sleep The scanner is almost ready to go into sleep mode. A
momentary press of any button resets the sleep
count-down timer.
Sleep A momentary press of any button starts the Sleep >
Awake transition to awaken the scanner.
Back Door — this green LED indicates if the straight pass-through
door (located at the back of the scanner) is open or closed.
• LED not lit: when the straight pass-through door is closed, the rotary
path to exit tray is in use.
• LED On: when the straight pass-through door is open, documents
being scanned will be exited through the straight pass-through door.
3-2 A-61662 April 2010
Maintenance — this yellow LED indicates that maintenance or service
conditions exist in the scanner.
Maintenance LED Scanner state
Off (not lit) No maintenance is required at this time.
Slow blinking Maintenance is needed. See the section
entitled, “Ngenuity Operator Utility”
(Maintenance monitor) later in this chapter for
more information.
Fast blinking Scanner is busy or offline. This occurs when the
scanner is in off-line mode and not capabl e of
scanning (i.e., ADF test, camera calibration,
downloading firmware, imprinter cleaning, etc.).
Steady on Scanner self-test fault detected; scanner service
may be required. Use the Ngenuity Operator
Utility for more information on the self test
failure.
Manual Feed — this green LED indicates that the feed mode has been
changed from the default, Normal ADF (Automatic Document Feeder),
to Manual feed mode. When the LED is illuminated, the scanner is in
Manual feed mode.
Feed modes The Ngenuity Scanner has four feed modes for feeding documents into
the scanner’s transport:
ADF mode (default) — used for feeding batches of documents that are
similar in size and weight. After a batch of documents is placed on the
feeder table, the batch is fed automatically into the scanner’s transport.
Manual mode — this mode is used to feed exception documents that
cannot be fed in ADF mode (e.g.,multiple forms). In this mode, you
must feed documents manually into the scanner one at a time. When
scanning in Manual mode, the Manual Feed LED on the control panel
will be lit. See the next section, “Manually feeding documents” for more
information.
Assisted Manual mode — once the scanner has entered Manual
Feed mode, the skimmer can be lowered onto the feeder table to
enable Assisted Manual mode. In this mode, the paper sensor on the
feeder table will trigger the skimmer to pull the documents into the
scanner transport. This mode can also be used to automatically feed
small batches while the scanner is in Manual Feed mode.
Test Feed mode — used to test and verify the scanner’s feeding
capabilities, as well as to feed transport cleaning sheets. This mode
allows you to feed documents without generating a scan command
from the host PC.
A-61662 April 2010 3-3
Unlike ADF and Manual (Assisted) modes, the Test Feed mode button
is set from within Custom Functions in the Ngenuity Operator Utility.
NOTE: With the exception of the Test Feed mode, all feed modes are
set through the Advanced Properties window within the
scanning software application.
Manually feeding
documents
For demonstration purposes, VRS Test Application is used in the
following procedure.
1. Turn on the scanner and wait until the scanner is ready.
2. Lift the skimmer to the up position.
3. Turn on the host PC.
4. Launch the scanning application (in this example, VRS Test
Application) and from the Menu bar, select Source>Scanner
(Source = 9000 with VRS with AIPE).
5. When the scanner is connected, select Source>Properties to open
the scanning application’s Scanner Properties window.
6. Select Manual from the Source drop-down box.
7. Lift the skimmer.
8. Remove any paper from the feeder.
9. Start a scan, either single or batch. The table will move up, and the
Manual Feed LED will light. The scanner motor will start and beep
indicating it is ready for scanning.
10.Carefully insert the page, keeping your hands and fingers away from
the rotating rollers on the skimmer. The scanner will feed the page,
run it through the scanner and generate an image.
NOTE: If you selected batch scan, you can continue to insert
pages, one at a time.
11. When you are finished, press Stop.
3-4 A-61662 April 2010
Feeder table The Feeder Table adjustment buttons allow you to manually set the
lowest position of the feeder table and lower the feeder. The feeder
table must be empty when you are selecting the Down/Set or Up
position.
Down/Set — positions the feeder table in the lowest position for ADF
mode.
Up — this button is used in conjunction with the Down button when the
feeder is empty, to set to the lowest point the feeder will drop to when
you are scanning and the feeder becomes empty.
If the feeder table has documents in it, the Up button performs no
function.
Custom functions Two custom functions (F1 and F2) can be assigned via the Ngenuity
Operator Utility. Available functions are: Feed Test Batch, Page Eject
and Clean Print Head.
By default, F1 is assigned to Feed Test Batch and F2 is assigned to
Page Eject. See the section entitled, “Ngenuity Operator Utility” later in
the chapter for more information.
Scan monitor The Scan Monitor indicates that an error has occurred during scanning.
The Scan Monitor indicators are lit in yellow.
Error — indicates that an error exists that is not covered by one of the
indicators (i.e., page sensor, error, scanner internal errors, etc.). When
an error is indicated, refer to the scanning application for more
information.
Cover — when illuminated, indicates that the scanner transpo rt cover is
open. Carefully close the scanner cover.
If this error occurs during scanning, press Clear/Restart after you have
securely closed the cover.
Paper Jam — when illuminated, indicates a document jam within the
scanner. Open the scanner transport cover, remove any jammed
documents and close the cover. Press Clear/Restart to continue
scanning.
Misfeed — when illuminated, indicates that a skimmer timeout or
feeder jam has occurred.
• Skimmer timeout: the skimmer is active, but the document to be
scanned does not move out of the feeder tray (commonly due to
roller slippage).
• Feeder jam: the document to be scanned is fed but does not reach
the scanner transport within the expected transit time.
A-61662 April 2010 3-5
Multifeed and MF Ignore — when illuminated, indicates a multifed
document or warning. This indicator will momentarily light and remain lit
or blink depending on the multifeed condition. For example:
• If the multifeed mode is set to Stop, the indicator remains lit and the
scanner stops when a multifeed is detected.
• If the multifeed mode is set to Notify, the indicator will light
momentarily along with a sound or prompt for each multifeed that is
detected while scanning.
For more information, see Chapter 4, Advanced Features.
The MF Ignore button toggles the multifeed ignore feature on and off.
When it is on, the scanner will ignore the multifeed sensor during the
next page fed (one page only), and the Multifeed LED will blink.
By pressing the MF Ignore button during batch scanning, you can
preempt the impending multifeed alarm without forcing a batch stop.
This turns off the MF alarm detection for a single page starting with the
next leading edge seen by the page entry sensor. To turn off MF
detection for a series of documents, press and hold the MF Ignore
button.
3-6 A-61662 April 2010
Batch Control The Batch Control buttons allow you to start and stop scanning.
Ready — this indicator is illuminated green when the scanner is ready
to scan.
• ADF mode: the Ready indicator will light when:
- there are no errors active
- documents are in the feeder
- the skimmer is lowered
- the feeder table has risen (or is rising) to where the skimmer is
resting on the documents in the feeder.
• Manual Feed mode: the scanner is ready to scan. The LED will
remain a steady green while the scanner is scanning.
Clear/Restart — allows you to clear an error when the error is reso lved
and resume scanning (e.g., paper is removed from the transport which
caused a paper jam).
When using VRS, use Clear/Restart to clear a multifeed (which tells
VRS to discard the multifeed image and rescan the document).
You can also use Clear/Restart to resume scanning after a batch
pause.
Pause/Stop — used to stop feeding or stop the scanner’s transport.
• If there is no scan command queued, no documents in the transport,
and no feeding in progress, pressing Pause/Stop stops the transport
before the automatic transport timeout (20 seconds).
• If the scanner is feeding documents, pressing Pause/Stop once will
stop feeding and a host “scanner paused” error will occur . The Ready
LED will blink to indicate when the batch is paused.
• If Pause/Stop is pressed twice or pushed and held for more than one
second, a hard stop will occur (scanning stops with documents
remaining in the transport) along with a host “scanner stopped” error
(this host error will not happen if the scanner is running in Test
mode). Press Clear/Restart to resume scanning (there is a slight
delay before scanning resumes).
NOTE:If Clear/Restart is pressed before all documents are cleared
from the transport, an audible alarm on the scanner will
sound and the Paper Jam LED will light. Clear the transport
of all documents by pressing and holding the Custom
Function button that is programmed for Page Eject and then
press Clear/Restart to resume scanning (there is a slight
delay before scanning resumes).
•Use Pause/Stop to place the scanner in Sleep mode by pressing and
holding the Pause/Stop for 5 seconds or longer. This can only be
done when the scanner is idle (no scan commands queued) and the
transport is not running.
