Quick Guide
Step 1: Unpack the Scanner
Make sure that all parts are included:
Panini Vision NeXt Scanner;
Operator Manual (CD-ROM);
Quick Guide;
USB 2 Cable;
Power Cable;
Power Supply;
AGP or single line Cartridge (no cartridge if
the unit is ordered without endorsement).
Before unpacking the box, examine it for
damage received during shipping.
Remove box contents and the upper cardboard
shell, as the pictures below. Next, remove the
scanner and place it on a flat surface near the
PC.
Step 2: Connect the Scanner
Connect Panini Vision NeXt to your PC following
the steps below:
Place the device on a level surface near the
host computer. Leave enough space to
open the pocket flaps, top cover and to
insert documents.
Plug the power supply cable in the Vision
NeXt™ power connector.
Connect the Vision NeXt™ to a dedicated
electrical power outlet.
Connect the USB cable to the USB port
located on the rear side of the scanner, and
then connect the other end of the cable to
an available USB 2.0 port on the PC.
Step 3: Getting Started
Assuming that the application program is
already installed on the user workstation,
the device will be recognized. On the first
connection, the new hardware wizard will
associate the correct preinstalled driver to
the device.
Open the Feeder Extension and the Pocket
Extension to collect all the documents.
Once you launch your application, the LED
will light-up indicating the status of the
machine (see Operator Manual for details).

Step 4: Device Start-Up
Straighten document and remove any
staples and paper clips before feeding
document into the unit.
You may feed documents one at a time or
in batches by inserting documents into the
feeder area from above
Insert documents right side up with the
MICR line aligned with the right side of the
scanner and visible to you. To ensure
proper feeding, do not overfill the feeder.
The inserted document will be detected and
feeding will begin automatically.
The document will be properly aligned and
scanned according to the Document Feeder
Option configured.
Processed documents will then either be
returned out the Exit Pocket or Exception
Pocket. For best results, remove the
documents when the application notifies the
Exit pocket is full, or when you notice the
Exit pocket is nearly full. Jams may occur
when the Exit pocket is too full.
Step 4: Installing AGP Cartridge
(Panini P/N: CA-00165)
4-lines AGP version:
Instruction to insert AGP Cartridge:
Open the Upper Cover.
Place lever system to the back position,
insert cartridge, grab the metal latch and
pull it up pushing down gently the cartridge.
The two piece lever system should lay flat
to the back of the cartridge.
Close the AGP cover.
Instructions to remove AGP cartridge:
Open the AGP cover.
Push the lever handle down, remove the
cartridge from the nest and place the lever to
the front position.
Close the AGP cover.
Remove the AGP cartridge when transporting
the unit or when the unit will not be used for long
periods. In case the scanner is not used
regularly, periodically cleaning the ink-jet nozzles
with a lint-free cloth is recommended.
14-lines AGP version:
The cartridge is inserted into a nest that is
mounted on an elevator mechanism.
Change the cartridge with the machine in
online state. When the top cover is opened
the nest moves up to a load/unload position
and latched so it will not move to the bottom
of its travel.
Swing the cartridge plastic latch open and
away from the nest.
Slide the cartridge into the nest so that it sits
flat in the bed of the nest.
Snap the plastic latch onto the cartridge.
Close the top cover, the nest will be released
and the motor will take it to its home position.
If the device, or any component, appears
damaged do not use it. File a claim with
the shipping company and contact your
reseller
Ensure that the device drivers have been
installed on the PC before connecting
the USB cable to the device.

Step 5: Installing Single-Line Ink Jet
Cartridge (Panini P/N: CA-00138)
Open the Upper Cover and insert the
Cartridge in the cartridge nest
Remove the Ink-Jet cartridge when transporting
the unit or when the unit will not be used for long
periods. In case the scanner is not used
regularly, periodically cleaning the ink-jet nozzles
with a lint-free cloth is recommended.
Step 6: Clearing Jams
When a jam occurs, the paper path must be
cleared. To do this, first remove all documents
from the exit pocket, then free the track by
pressing Eject, Free Track or similar in your
application.
In case operation fails, apply the following
suggestions:
NOTE: Avoid pulling the document straight up,
this may dislodge the red O-rings on the
pressure roller.
Open the Track Cover and the CIS Cover
and pull the document through.
Grab the document with your fingers to
remove it from the transport.
Step 7: Cleaning and Maintenance
Panini recommends cleaning the Vision neXt
weekly or on an as-needed basis depending on
quantity and condition of the documents
processed.
Run a Panini Cleaning Card through the
scanner multiple times, rotating or flipping
the card after each pass.
Open the Track Cover and the CIS Cover;
use a can of compressed air w/extension
tube, spray the feeder area, check entrance,
and the track area.
If needed, wipe the glass on the contact
image sensors with a Panini Cleaning Swab
or a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled
water.
If endorsements are poor or fuzzy, clean the
ink jet nozzles with a Panini Ink Cleaning
Wipe or a lint-free cloth moistened with
distilled water.
