Assembling the 4700 Series scanner
Mounting the scanner base and legs
1 Lay the scanner base on its side and attach the right leg to the right hand side
of the base using 2 of the short screws and the Allen wrench provided, as
shown in Figure 2. The right leg has an extra bolt at the bottom to differentiate
it from the left leg. The black plastic hole on each leg should face the back .
2 Now attach the left leg using the remaining 2 short screws.
3 Stand the scanner base upright with the black plastic holes in the legs towards
the back.

Mounting the scanner body
1 Two people are needed to move the scanner body. Carefully place the scanner
body on top of the two legs with the insertion slot facing forward. Ensure that
the bolts on the top of each leg fit into the holes in the bottom of the scanner
body. See Figure 3 below.

Installing the 4700 Series scanners
Power supply
The 4700 Series scanner is earthed via a 3-wire power cable to a 2-pole and
earth power outlet with a maximum 16 amp protection.
Your electrical installation must comply to IEC 364 standards and with the of
national sta nda r ds of your country.
The scanner voltage is 100/120/220/240V, 60/50Hz, 80 VA.
The power supply is protected with one fuse for all voltages, type T2.5 AH
(5 x 20 mm).
‘.’ on page 14 .
Operating recommendations
■ In order to obtain the best results, use your scanner in an environment with a
temperature ranging from 59°F to 89°F (15°C to 32°C) and a relative
humidity lower than 80%.
■ If these conditions cannot be met, the installation of an air conditioning
system is recommended.
■ You should position the scanner a couple of centimeters away from the wall
so that the scanned originals can fall down freely and be easily recuperated
in the basket.
■ Ensure that enough air surrounds the scanner in order to avoid overheating.

Operation and Upkeep21
Page 22
Precautions for use
The quality of the scanning operations
depends widely on the quality of the
original document yo u feed the scanner
with.
■ To avoid paper jams, do not feed the
scanner with very thin or thick
documents. If necessary, duplicate
your original document to provide
your scanner with the appropriate type
of media.
■ Do not scan a document that is
crumpled or has torn edges.
■ Flat original documents offer the best
operation. If you r dr awi n g ha s be en
rolled, do not use it immediately. Keep
it flat for several hour s prior to
scanning.

Camera out-of-light error
If the Call Service and Warm-Up indicators start blinking together on the
scanner Control Panel, one of the cam eras has moved out of range during
adjustment or transport and then it does not receive enough light.
The Warm-up indicator shows by the number of flashes per second which
camera is out of light:
Camera 11 flash per second
Camera 22 flashes per second
Camera 33 flashes per second
Before adjusting the camera height, carry out the following procedure:
1 Turn the height adjustment complete anti-clockwise.
2 Turn the height adjustment one quarter of a turn clockwise.
3 Turn the scanner power off and then on. If the error still occurs repeat steps 2
and 3.
After clearing the "Camera out of light error", proceed with the Camera height
adjustment described previousl y.
