1 Introduction
The Kodak s1700 Operating System Software controls the Kodak s1740 Capture System and provides the following features:
• An easy to use interface allows you to easily access the tools you need via icons, toolbars and pull-down menus.
• Captures the information that enables automatic post-sorting into 2, 6, 8 or 12 pockets based on smart imaging.
• For document completeness, easy separation and tracking, you can encode MICR data on documents. With the barcode encoding option, you can imprint the same barcode (up to three barcodes in one run), on every page of a document to keep pages from the same file together.
• For electronic distribution or archiving you can define tags to facilitate the sharing of data and choose the image format (JPEG or TIF) that best meets your needs.
• Specify up to six different images (color, grayscale and black and white; both front and back) in one pass.
• Statistical information is easy accessed on the documents processed.
System requirements See the Installation Planning Guide, A-61595 for software and
hardware requirements.

Active
Jam
Track Clearing
Jam Handling
• When the scanner is not feeding documents.
• If you press the Pause button.
• If the feeder is empty. NOTE:You can close or cancel a run or
manually change the tray in the Idle state.
Documents are being fed and scanned.
A physical jam has occurred (e.g., a paper clip is on one or more documents) and the transport has been blocked. The track must be cleared of documents before proceeding.
After a physical jam, press the Clear Track button to start the transport and deposit any remaining documents within the track to the overflow pockets. Any documents that are still jammed must be manually removed.
This state requires you to verify the Document List. Any documents that are jammed must be fed and scanned again. After all documents have been verified, they need to be marked as OK or deleted.
NOTE: For more information see the section entitled, “Handling
Document Jams” in Chapter 3.
Current tray status — provides the number of documents in the current tray and the number of documents fed during the current run.
ID number — provides the identification number of the current tray.

A-61593 September 2007 2-15
Tray Column
The plus sign (+) in front of the Tray Nr. (system field: TRAY) indicates that the tray of the document is closed; therefore documents cannot be deleted. In the following example, Trays 37, 38 and 39 are closed. Tray 40 is still open and documents can still be deleted.
Image Monitors Column
To identify documents quickly during jam clearing, image monitors are available. The image monitors show the image related to the selected document and surrounding documents. If no offset is defined, the displayed image corresponds to the selected line in the Document List. The displayed button can be configured in the run definition.
