Introduction
The following table describes the panel’s LED light patterns and what they mean. The
illustrations marked “startup – phase 1 (2,3,4)” show how the Operator’s panel will look
(LED lighting patterns) starting from when you turn the Main power switch ON, through
the self-test procedures and until the scanner is ready to scan.
Note:
For simplicity, the illustrations below display a Standard Panel i.e., without an ATAC
key. The LED behavior of the Power LED, Diagnostics LED and Wait LED, are identical for Standard and ATAC operator’s panels.
Overview

What it meansHow it looks on the scanner
Turn the scanner power ON – First Time – Main
Power ON At back of the scanner, plug in the
power cable and flip the main power switch to
ON. The scanner starts the selftest procedure
which starts with the Init Sequence
Init Sequence (startup phase 1)
When you turn main power On, the scanner runs
it initialization sequence. ALL the LEDs are
lighted as shown in the illustration on the left. At
this point, panel input is disabled and you cannot
begin scanning.
Note:
When you power up through Wake-up,
(by pressing the power key), this initialization sequence is skipped and the scanner
goes directly to Self-Adjustment (startupphase 3).
Power LED Green (startup – phase 2)
Towards the end of Init Sequence, the Power LED
will change to green while the other LEDs remain
unchanged (lighted). From here the scanner moves
on to Self Adjustment (startup phase 3).
Chapter 3 - The Operator's Panel24
Power Control, Buttons and LED patterns
Page 25
What it meansHow it looks on the scanner
Self-Adjustment (startup –phase 3)
On completion of the Init Sequence, the power
LED (green) and the Wait LED (yellow) remain
lighted while the others LEDs turn off. This indicates that the scanner is running its Self-Adjustment of light profiles, stitching and black/white
points.
Note:
To maintain optimal conditions, the
scanner runs new Self-adjustment procedures periodically during the day (without
lighting the wait LED). If the Wait indicator blinks, the scanner needs to run SelfAdjustment but cannot
Scanner Ready (startup – phase 4)
When the Wait LED turns off, and only the
Power LED is ON and lights green, self-adjustment is completed and the scanner is ready to scan.
Chapter 3 - The Operator's Panel 25
Power Control, Buttons and LED patterns
Page 26
What it meansHow it looks on the scanner
Wake-up / Sleep - Turn power ON/OFF with
power key – normal use (with main power switch
always ON)
With the outlet switch always ON, use the Power
key to control scanner power. Hold down on the
Power key to toggle power into Wakeup and Sleep
modes. The Power LED lights green when the
scanner is ON (Wake-up) and red when power is
OFF (Sleep). When you turn the scanner ON in
this manner, it skips the init sequence and starts
with Self-Adjustment as described above for startup
phase 3.
When in the power Wake-up/Sleep mode: The
scanner can be manually powered up and down
(wake and sleep) by pressing and holding down
the power button or inserting a document for
scanning.
See Power, Wake/sleep and Adjustment.
The scanner can automatically be powered up and
down (wake-up/sleep) by Océ Scanner Agent timer
or idle time setting.
See Automatic Power functions
Green Power LED blinking
The green power LED will blink just before the
scanner automatically powers off because its defined automatic Sleep time (in WIDEsystem) has
been reached in the timer. If you are still using the
scanner and want to cancel the timer controlled
Sleep mode, press the power key until the LED
stops blinking. You can at any time disable or
change timer settings in Océ Scanner Agent (see
Océ Scanner Agent on-line help for details).
Chapter 3 - The Operator's Panel26
Power Control, Buttons and LED patterns
Page 27
What it meansHow it looks on the scanner
Wait LED blinking - Self-Adjustment required
but not possible
If the Wait LED blinks (and the Diagnostics LED
is off) the scanner needs to run Self-Adjustment
but cannot. Self- Adjustment is necessary for
maintaining optimal and stabile internal conditions. To solve this, any original in the scanner
should be removed, and the pressure-platen should
be set to the Normal position (i.e., not a thick
media setting). A scan may be issued, but the
quality will be compromised. When Self- Adjustment is again possible, the Wait LED stops blinking, but continues to be on until Self-Adjustment
is completed. The scanner should be left alone
while Self-adjustment is running.
During Calibration – Wait LED lights
This is normal. The Wait LED is on during Calibration to indicate that the original should not be
removed or moved during the Calibration procedure. All panel input is prevented during basic
calibration.
Diagnostics LED blinking – Error detected during
Self-Test
The Diagnostics LED shows the scanner’s SelfTest result status. An unlit Diagnostics LED means
that the scanner’s Self-Test procedures encountered
no errors. If the Diagnostics LED blinks, an error
was discovered during Self-Test.
Open Océ Scanner Agent (double-click the scanner
icon on your system tray) and select the Status tab
to view additional information about the error.

Power Control, Buttons and LED patterns
Page 28
What it meansHow it looks on the scanner
Both Diagnostic LED and Wait LED blinking –
Maintenance needed
Simultaneous blinking by both the Diagnostic
LED and the Wait LED may mean that the scanning area needs cleaning and the cameras calibrated. See the section on "Maintenance" for instructions. If the Diagnostic and the Wait LEDs continue to blink after scanner maintenance, there
may be camera position errors that requires Océ
service.

Media Control – Buttons and LED Patterns
Introduction
Your panel contains LEDs and buttons for controlling the media you insert for scanning.
The following basic functionality applies on all models:
1.
The Paper Ready LED lights up when the media is inserted into the original’s insertion
slot and correctly positioned for feeding on a straight path. It lights green for normal
documents and yellow for thick media scanning.
Note:
See also this guide’s sections on loading originals and Scanning Thick Media
2.
The media can then be moved into the start-scan position by pressing the Paper Forward
Key or through automatic loading.
3.
The Paper Ready LED will blink during scanning.
4.
The media can be moved back for ejection by pressing the Paper Reverse key.
Overview
#
DescriptionHow it looks on the scanner
Paper Forward and Paper Reverse Keys
The Paper Forward Key moves the drawing into
the start-scan position for manual loading (see
section on Loading). If Auto-Load is set, loading
will occur automatically (without pressing the key)
when the original enters the insertion slot. Pressing
the Paper Forward Key during scanning will stop
the scanning process and feed the original through
the scanner while the key is held down. The Paper
Reverse Key stops the current scanning process
and reverses the original. The original will be fed
backwards through the scanner while the key is
held down. When the scanner is in Automatic
Thickness Adjustment Control (ATAC) mode the
paper forward and paper reverse keys become
“pressure-platen up” and “pressure-platen Down”
keys (see below).

DescriptionHow it looks on the scanner
Paper Ready LED Green - Ready for Normal media
The Paper Ready LED lights green when normal
thin media is positioned correctly in the insertion
slot and stays green when the media is moved to
the start-scan position. From there, scanning can
be controlled from the computer.
Paper Ready LED blinks Yellow – Scanner in
ATAC mode
When you press the ATAC key, you set the scanner in ATAC mode. The Paper Ready Key blinks
yellow to indicate ATAC mode. The Paper Forward and Paper Reverse keys become “Pressureplaten Up” and “Pressure-platen Down” keys.
Paper Ready LED Yellow - Ready for Thick media
The Paper Ready LED lights yellow when the
scanner is ready to scan thick media. The pressureplaten has been lowered and the media is positioned correctly in the scanner. The scanner goes
automatically out of ATAC mode. The Paper
Forward and Paper Reverse keys resume their
normal functionality so you can move the thick
original forwards and backwards in the scanner.
Scanning can be controlled from the computer.
Paper Ready LED blinks – (green or yellow) –
Media is being scanned
The Paper Ready LED blinks during scanning.
On completion of the scan, the Paper Ready LED
will stop blinking. Scanning can then be repeated
from the computer or terminated by ejecting the
media from the scanner. The above behavior applies for both thin media scanning (green blinking)
and thick media scanning (yellow blinking).

The scanner’s Self Test Procedure
Introduction
When you connect the scanner to the power outlet and turn on the outlet switch at the
back of the scanner, it starts up with a self-test procedure.
The scanner’s self-test procedure consists of two main steps:
1.
Init (Initialization) Sequence
The scanner loads and tests internal parameters.
Only initiated when you turn the main power ON.
The panel’s LEDs will be lit as shown in the next illustration:
Chapter 4 - Turning Power ON/OFF - Wake/Sleep Mode 35
The scanner’s Self Test Procedure
Page 36
2.
Self-Adjustment
Adjustment of light profiles, stitching and black/white points.
Starts after the Init Sequence when the scanner’s main power switch is turned ON or
right away when the scanner goes from sleep to wake mode.
The panel’s LEDs will be lit as shown below:
Chapter 4 - Turning Power ON/OFF - Wake/Sleep Mode36
The scanner’s Self Test Procedure

You will know that the self-test procedures have completed and the scanner is Ready
when the Power LED is lighted green and the other LEDs are off as shown below:
Chapter 4 - Turning Power ON/OFF - Wake/Sleep Mode 37
Scanner ready to scan
Page 38
Wake and Sleep modes
Introduction
With the main power switch ON, scanner power can be set in Sleep mode and Wake
mode. Sleep mode is the energy saving mode.
The scanner cannot scan when in the Sleep mode.
Wake mode is the full power ON mode for scanner operation.
The scanner will go from Wake mode into Sleep mode:
■
Automatically: after a set idle time (see Automatic Power functions).
■
Automatically: with the Timer (see Automatic Power functions).
■
Manually: when you hold the power button down for 3 seconds.
The scanner will go into wake mode:
■
Automatically: with the Timer (see Automatic Power functions).
■
When you feed a document into the scanner.
■
When you press any button on the panel.
Advantages with using Wake-up and Sleep modes:
Ready faster:
You turn the scanner OFF and ON (sleep/wake-up) by pressing the power key on the
panel. The scanner skips its init sequence and is ready to scan sooner than with Main
Power OFF to ON.
Convenience:
When OFF (LED is red) the scanner can be powered up (Wake-up) easily by pressing
the power key or just by inserting paper into the scanner, thereby indicating you wish to
scan.
Timer function:
Scanner power with Wake-up and Sleep, can be setup and controlled through the Océ
Scanner Agent software timer week schedule feature or through an idle time setting.
Save energy:
Sleep mode runs at low power values.

Fast-loading
Introduction
What is Fast-loading? – With normal (default) loading, i.e. without the Fast-load option
selected, the original is pulled all the way into the drive system, past both roller axles, and
then reversed to start-scan position in order to ensure precise detection of the original’s
placement in the scanner. With the Fast-load option selected, the original is pulled only
under the first roller axle and scanning will start from there. The Fast-load option is
convenient for batch scanning of originals with robust edges that feed easily. Normally,
with batch scanning, you would use the Fast-load option in conjunction with automatic
loading however you can also use manual loading to feed the original into start-scan position.
Note:
The availability of the fast loading option will depend on your scan/copy software and
its level of compatibility with the scanner model.
Fast-loading
Fast-loading is a time-saving loading option designed for batch scanning. The fast-loading
option can be selected in the scanning application.

Soft-handling
Soft-handling
The Soft-handling option is selected in your scan application. Soft-handling means that
feeding and scanning are slowed down. You can use the option with both Manual and
Automatic loading.
Note:
The availability of the soft handling load option depends on your scan/copy software and
its level of compatibility with the scanner model.
Use Soft-handling with
1.
Old, curled or creased originals that trigger a paper jam. See Trouble Shooting – Paper
Jam error for correcting a paper jam error.
2.
Fragile originals you want passed delicately through the drive system.

Setting the input size
The Input size defines the scan area. You enter the input size in your application’s input
size dialogs.
Note:
The availability of the Input size options described below will depend on your scan/copy
software and its level of compatibility with the scanner model.
3 ways to set find and set the input size:
1.
Use automatic size detection
The scanner will detect the edges of the document and calculate the input size for you.
2.
Set a standard size
Common standard sizes are marked on the scanner bed.
Use these markings to determine which standard size matches the original and then select
that size in the application’s input size dialog.
3.
Set the size manually for irregular sizes.
To measure your document - use the scanner’s ruler just above the insertion slot. Enter
your width measurement in the width setting field in your application’s input size setup

Software applications for scanning
Introduction
Your scanner is controlled through scan, copy or imaging software installed on your PC.
Optimal full featured scanning functionality
is obtainable through scan and copy software specifically developed for compatibility with
your scanner model.
See the scanner manufacturer’s website for information on scanner software and compatible third-party applications.
Simple scanning functionality
Many common imaging applications support TWAIN and WIA interfacing and will
thereby support simple scanning tasks through a limited range of settings and control
options.
Chapter 6 - Scanning54
Software applications for scanning
Page 55
Running applications from the scanner panel
Definition
Normally you would control the scanner from your PC through your scan software user
interface.
However, your scanner also supports one-touch buttons that enable you to trigger your
software from the scanner panel. When a button is pressed, a scan is initiated and the
result is loaded into the application triggered.
You configure your one-touch buttons through Océ Scanner Agent and your compatible
scanning software. Please refer to the on-line help in these applications for instructions.
Note:
See Appendix A – Overview of the Operator’s Panel - ApplicationControl – One Touch
Scan for additional information.

Batch scanning
Introduction
Batch scanning involves jobs where you want to feed and scan a whole set of originals
that require equal scan settings.
1.
Set your scan settings (size, type, image adjustments..) for the batch. Your settings will
apply to ALL the documents in the batch.
2.
Set the scan software into Batch Mode. This will tell the scanner to start scanning as soon
as the document is fed so you don’t need to trigger the scan.
3.
Choose Automatic loading (optional) - for fast and effective loading. Read you scan
software’s on-line help pages for specific information on batch scanning with the application.
Note:
The availability of Batch scanning options will depend on your scan/copy software and
its level of compatibility with the scanner model.

Page 58
Scanning Thick Media
You may need to scan documents and drawings printed or pasted on thick media such
as cardboard, foamboards, gatorboards etc.
To do so, you will need to fit the insertion slot to the thickness of your original.
This is done by raising the pressure-platen to the exact correct height.
Chapter 7 - Scanning Thick Media58
Scanning Thick Media
Page 59
Automatic Thick Media Adjustment
Introduction
Scanners with Automatic Thickness Adjustment Control (ATAC) have an ATAC key
on the operator’s panel.
You use the key to raise and lower the pressure-platen. You can change the insertion slot
size (pressure-platen height) on your scanner from 2mm to 15 mm (up to 0.6”).
Originals up to 2mm thickshould be scanned with the pressure all the way down (normal
position). Thicker originals will require you use the ATAC key to adjust for thick media.
To adjust the insertion slot for thick media with ATAC:
1.
Press the ATAC key on your operator’s panel to set the scanner in ATAC mode.
2.
The Paper Ready Indicator blinks yellow indicating the scanner is in ATAC mode but
not yet ready, i.e., the pressure-platen is not yet positioned for the thick original.
3.
Press and hold the Paper Forward key (arrow up) key to raise the pressure-platen until
there is room to insert the thick original.
4.
Insert the thick original evenly for a straight scan path.
5.
Press and hold the Paper Reverse (arrow down) key to lower the pressure-platen until the
pressure-platen stops on its own.
6.
The Paper Ready indicator will stop blinking and remain yellow when the pressure-platen
is positioned correctly and is ready for thick media scanning.
Chapter 7 - Scanning Thick Media 59
Automatic Thick Media Adjustment
Page 60
7.
The scanner will automatically leave the ATAC mode, which means that the Paper Forward
and Paper Reverse keys will return to their normal functionality for moving the original
forwards and backwards.
Chapter 7 - Scanning Thick Media60
Automatic Thick Media Adjustment
Page 61
When Scanning in Thick Media Positions
Introduction
The scanner employs an automatic self-adjustment procedure (light profile, stitching etc.)
that can only activate itself when the scanner is in the Normal position.
With prolonged scanning in extended thickness settings, you should from time to time
return the scanner to its Normal position to allow it to self-adjust.
This will ensure refreshed self-adjustment and optimal performance of your scanner.
Make a habit of always setting the scanner in the Normal position when shutting down,
so it can auto-self-adjust the next time you turn it ON.
Before you begin
Remember to return to the Normal position so the scanner can run Auto-Self-Adjustment
Modifying Stitching Parameters
Thick stiff originals will rest on top of the scanner rollers and thus raise a small distance
over the glass-plate. This can lead to irregularities in relation to “stitching” of the image
at points between the cameras (overlapping pixels). In such cases, the stitching parameters
will need to be modified. You can modify stitching parameters through your scanning
application in the following way:
1.
Insert your thick original in the scanner and scan the image using your scanning application.
2.
Check the result in the viewer for overlapping or missing pixels in the camera transition
areas.
3.
Adjust the stitching values in the application’s scanner setup dialogs.
4.
Repeat scanning and adjustment until the effect is minimized.

About scanner maintenance
Introduction
Scanner maintenance will ensure optimal performance of your scanner.
There are three basic maintenance tasks:
■
Cleaning
Keep your scanner clean – the next section describes how to thoroughly clean the internal scan area. How often you need to clean the scanner will depend on how often
and the types of media you scan. If your work primarily involves scanning newspapers
and old blueprints you may need to clean more often than users who only scan
brochures and new drawings. Be sure to clean the scanner when results are not optimal.
Particles of dust in the scan area can often be the cause of streaks in the end result.
See ‘Cleaning the Scan Area’ on page 65
■
Calibration and camera alignment
Scanner Calibration is easy to perform and most of it is completely automatic. Scanner
calibration includes camera alignment and calibration of B&W and color parameters.
To run, you insert a Calibration Sheet, and start the Scanner Maintenance program.
Be sure to calibrate if your output is not optimal. Make sure the scanner is clean before
calibrating. See ‘Camera Alignment and Calibration’ on page 69
■
Replacing worn parts
This should be carried out when you get a warning on your screen or when a worn
part affects your results.
Replaceable parts are:
a. the glass plate. See ‘Replacing the glass-plate’ on page 73
b. the lamp. See ‘Replacing the Scanner Lamp-Unit’ on page 81
c. the white background platen. See ‘Replacing the White-background platen’ on page

Downloading new firmware
Introduction
Like a computer, your scanner needs an operating system in order to work. This operating
system is called "Firmware". Firmware runs inside the scanner and links its processors
with the PC applications running the scanner.
When do I need new firmware?
Your scanner is shipped with the latest firmware available. You can afterwards upgrade
your original firmware with newer firmware and continue to do so as they are released.
Firmware upgrades can be downloaded from Océ's website (See www.oce.com).
Upgrade your firmware when:
1. One or more new features are released or other improvements are made to the scanner
though its firmware.
2. An error is discovered in the firmware version you have in the scanner and Océ recommends installation of new firmware in which the error is corrected.
NOTE: Your manufacture's website specifies improvements with every new firmware
release.
How to identify the firmware version running in the scanner?
1.
1. Start Océ Scanner Agent -Left-click on the system tray's scanner icon.
2. Select the Info tab.
3. The Info tab displays useful data about your scanner firmware.

During scanning, the scanner moves the paper back and forth in the slot in order to position it correctly for the next task.
If the Océ Scanner Agent screen is opened during scanning, you are able to follow the
operations performed on the original through the messages that appear in the ‘Original’
field.
The Original messages tell you if the original is present, ‘Not ready’, ‘Busy’ or ‘Ready’,

Note:
7 days is an average assessment for normal scanning. If you scan old originals that leave
smudges on the glass plate or if you have high quality requirements for precise
colour/graytones, you can calibrate more often.
Timer
The Timer tab allows you to program the scanner's internal clock that controls your
scanner's power-on and power-off schedule.
This feature allows you to start scanning without wasting time. Indeed, running with the
correct internal temperature is essential when making high-quality scanning through
sensitive CCD’s. Your scanner needs to warm up before it can start scanning optimally.
The Timer Settings tab lets you program the scanner to automatically power on and
warm up times most convenient for you so it stands ready when you need it. You do not
have to waste valuable time waiting for your system to reach optimal conditions.
