Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Document Scanner.

Feature Highlights

Superior Paper Feeding

• This scanner features an advanced paper-feeding mechanism that adjusts the pressure of the rollers and

the amount of time that the rollers are applied to the document according to the condition of the document. As a result, this scanner can scan a wide range of paper weights, from very thin 20 g/m² (5 lb.) paper to very thick 157 g/m² (42 lb.) paper.

High-speed Double Sided Scanning

• This scanner can scan documents at high speed, regardless of the image type (monochrome / color).

Single sided: 100 pages/minute, double sided: 200 images/minute (200 dpi, 300 dpi) for KV-S5076H Single sided: 80 pages/minute, double sided: 160 images/minute (200 dpi, 300 dpi) for KV-S5046H * Speeds based on scanning A4 size paper in landscape orientation.

Support for High-efficiency Scanning Jobs

• Self-cleaning function

This scanner has self-cleaning brushes that clean paper dust off of the scanning glass. The KV-S5076H also contains an ionizer that, by emitting ions, reduces the amount of paper dust that accumulates on the scanning glass.

• Stapled document detection (KV-S5076H only)

This scanner has a stapled document detection that detects documents that contain staples and stops scanning before any serious damage occurs.

• Background color switch function

Using the software, you can switch the background color of scanned images between white and black.

• Mechanical deskew (KV-S5076H only)

In addition to adjusting skewed documents via the software (deskew), this scanner supports the mechanical deskew function that detects skew in documents before they are scanned, and adjusts the document using the feeding mechanism. With this function, you can reduce the various problems that arise from skewed documents.

• Double feed detection function

This scanner contains ultrasonic sensors that detect double feeding. Double feeding can be detected even if you scan documents that contain paper of various thicknesses.

• Double Feed Skip (DFS) function

If scanning has been stopped because a double feed was detected, you can easily resume scanning by pressing the Skip button (SKIP). When you scan documents that include items that you do not want to be detected as double feeding (for example, documents that have receipts attached, envelopes, etc.), the double feed detection function can be enabled and still scan these documents.

Other Features

• You can set the left and right document guides independently. By doing so, you can reliably scan

documents of differing paper sizes.

• The paper feed path can be opened widely to easily remove jammed paper and perform maintenance.

• This scanner has a counter function which indicates the approximate time for cleaning and replacement

of the rollers. The counters can be configured and checked in User Utility.

Notes about documents for scanning

• Depending on the paper type, scanning results may be poor when you scan unacceptable documents, or

even documents that should be acceptable. If scanned images are skewed, paper jams occur, or double feeding occurs, try scanning again after doing the following:

– Clean the rollers and sensors. – Reduce the number of sheets of paper loaded on the feed tray. – Change the orientation of documents placed in portrait orientation to landscape orientation, or vice

versa.

– In the scan settings, set "Feeding Speed" to [Slow]. – Scan the documents using manual scanning.

• When using stapled document detection, completely flatten any curling or creases on the rear end of the

document, and then perform scanning. (KV-S5076H only)

For details about configuring the scan settings, refer to the Image Capture Plus, TWAIN, or ISIS help.

Operating Manual 25

Operation

Scanning Documents

1. Adjust the document guides (A) slightly larger than the actual size of the documents.

2. Fan the documents.

• Documents that have been stapled together or stacked together (as in a file folder) will need to be

separated. Fan the stack of documents to separate all the edges. Hold both ends and bend the documents as shown in the illustration. To flatten the documents, hold firmly and pull them apart as shown in the illustration.

Repeat these steps as necessary.
