Microtek ADF-700

Installing and Getting Started

Introduction

The ADF-700 is a sheet feeder accessory for the Microtek ScanMaker i700.

The ADF-700 allows automatic scanning of up to 50 sheets of original scan material from A6 size (4.14" x 5.83") up to legal size (8.5" x 14"). Sheets to be scanned are fed from the feeder's top tray, guided and scanned as they pass the scanner's image sensor, and then exit into the feeder's bottom tray.

The ADF-700 installs easily by mounting onto the top of the ScanMaker i700 in place of the scanner lid, which is removed to make way for the document feeder.

Installing the ADF-700

Before you proceed with installation of ADF700, make sure your scanner is turned off.

1. Remove the scanner lid. To do so, open the lid until it stands vertically, then pull upward to remove.

Note: Please check the firmware version on your ScanMaker i700 before installing the ADF-700. If your firmware version is below 0.63, download the firmware updater. When the firmware update is complete, restart your computer and continue the installation of the ADF-700. For more details on downloading, refer to the Addendum at the end of this user guide.

2 . Carefully align and insert the feeder

studs into the hinge slots originally used by the scanner cover.

3 . Remove the protective film from the

transparent cover of the scan sensor area, then lower the ADF-700.

4. Plug the feeder's connector into the 15-pin Accessory port at the back panel of the scanner. Secure the connector by tightening the retaining screws.

5. Turn on your scanner, and wait for the light on the scanner’s front panel to stop blinking and stay on steady . Your system will detect the scanner with ADF-700 automatically, indicating that the ADF-700 is ready to be used.

2 . Pull out the top Tray Extender for better paper support if the length of the

originals exceeds 10 inches.

Scanning with the ADF-700

Scanning for Archiving / Scanning to File

The ADF-700 can be used to scan material for archiving. For instance, an image “record” can be kept of a multiple-page legal document, or image files can be kept of important documents such as birth certificates and tax records. Scanning for archiving (also known as scanning to file) is different from scanning for OCR, which is explained in the next section

1 . Place the material to be scanned on the Document Feed Tray . The material could

consist of either a single sheet of paper or a stack of paper.

2. Launch ScanW izar d 5 in stand-alone mode or from your image-editing software. If you are not sure how to do this, refer to your ScanWizard documentation.

3. Specify your own scan settings by clicking on the Tool buttons in the Standard Control Panel; or by selecting the appropriate setup items from the Settings window in the Advanced Control Panel.

4. Click and hold the Scan to button to start multiple, automatic scanning.

After the scan, the scanned and processed image can be saved as a file, opened in an image-editing program, sent to print, attached to an e-mail, or uploaded to a website.

Before you use the ADF-700 extensively, you may wish to use the “preview” feature

Previewing can be useful to see if the physical mechanism in your ADF-700 is working properly in conjunction with the ScanWizard 5 scanning software. Previewing requires only the use of a single sheet of paper (with some text or material on it). Once the paper-scanning mechanism is established and verified, you can then proceed to use the ADF-700 extensively and with assurance.

To do the preview, follow the steps below:

1. Load a piece of paper from the paper stack into the ADF’s Document Feed Tray.

2. Click the Preview button to perform a preliminary view of the entire image. When done, a preview image appears in the preview window.

At this moment, the previewed page is delivered to the document tray from the ADF's Document Feed Tray. Load the previewed page, along with the paper stack, on the ADF's Document Feed Tray. You are now ready to scan.
