8. Replace the endorsement printer cover.

Replacing the inkjet blot t er

Scanners with endorsement printers include an inkjet blotter that absorbs excess ink from the endorsement process. Over time, the blotter might stop absorbing ink effectively and so should be replaced. Scanners with endorsement printers come with five replacement blotters.

To replace the inkjet blotter:

1. Disconnect the power.

2. Remove the front cover of the scanner. At the back of the scanner, above the franker cartridge, you can see the top of the inkjet blotter, as shown below:

3. With your finger or tweezers, remove the inkjet blotter from its slot.

4. Dispose of the used blotter.

5. Insert the replacement inkjet blotter into the slot.

Replacing the paper roll for the printer

If your scanner has a printer, the following steps describe how to replace the paper roll.

1. Press the printer cover release button and completely open the printer cover.

2. Remove the empty paper roll from the paper compartment.

3. Insert the new paper roll into the compartment, with the end of the paper roll rolling from the top.

4. Pull the paper out of the compartment and close the printer cover so that the end of the paper sticks out of the compartment (as pictured). Push the cover closed in the center of the printer cover.

Make sure the cover is completely closed. If you push the cover from the sides, the cover might not close completely. When closed correctly, both sides of the printer cover are flush with the scanner.

5. Rip off any access paper sticking out of the printer cover.

Cleaning the scanner

The EC9000i / 9100i / 9600i series scanners perform best when all working surfaces are clean and free of foreign material.

Caution:

• Always disconnect the scanner from its power source before cleaning it.

• Solvents or harsh cleaners might damage or discolor the cabinetry.

Troubleshooting

In the course of everyday operations, you might encounter minor malfunctions with RDM EC9000i / 9100i / 9600i series scanners. Before calling for service, review the troubleshooting steps below.

Scanner does not respond

1. Ensure the cable that connects your scanner to your computer is properly connected to the correct port on the back of the scanner and computer (according to instructions provided by your distributor).

2. Make sure that the correct power cord is connected to the unit. Change or replace the cord, if necessary.

3. If the problem persists, contact your solution provider or help desk.

Card transactions do not function properly

1. Ensure that you are swiping the card properly. The black magnetic stripe on the back of the card must face downward and towards the body of the scanner.

2. Try using another card to ensure the first card was not defective.

3. If the problem persists, contact your solution provider or help desk.

Printer does not print

1. Ensure that the printer has not jammed.

2. Ensure that the end of the paper rolls from the top of the roll.

3. If the problem persists, contact your solution provider or help desk.

Can’t connect t o EC9600i networ k scanner

If your scanning application cannot connect to the network scanner, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Make sure the scanner is connected to a power source and to the network (or to your computer via USB). The light should be solid green.

• Your scanning application might require that you insta ll security certificates to use the scanner. Make sure that you have installed these certificates. See your scanning application’s documentation for how to install the certificates.

• If your scanning applic ati on uses your internet browser, it might require that you make changes to the browser’s security settings. See your scanning application’s documentation for how to configure your browser.

Page 32

EC9000i / 9100i / 9600i Series Scanner User Guide Troubleshooting

• If you’re using a network connection and there are multiple network connections in your work area (for example, Ethernet cables or Ethernet wall jacks), try connecting the scanner to another connection.

• Try to access the network scanner dashboard:

1. Open a browser.

2. In the URL bar, enter the scanner dashboard address:

• On Windows, enter: https://rd<scannerserialnumber>

• On Macintosh, enter: https://rd<scannerserialnumber>.local/

If you can open the dashboard, your computer can connect to the scanner, but something is preventing your scanning application from connecting to it.

This typically indicates that you need to install security certificates or configure your browser’s security settings. See the documentation for your scanning application to confirm you have installed certificates and configured your browser.
