1. Preparation

This chapter provides important information on the requirements for using your
machine installed with the scanner unit. This chapter also provides information
on setting up your machine as a scanner.

1

1

Preparation

The Scanner Interface

The scanner unit is installed in the left side of your machine (as shown in the il­lustrations) The scanner unit connects to a computer through a 50–pin half –
pitch (pin type) SCSI connector.

Requirements

Requirements

In order to use your machine as a scanner, the following hardware/software is
required in the computer that will be connected to the scanner. Make sure that
all the necessary hardware and software is in place before attempting to scan.

❖❖❖❖

CPU

Intel®Pentium 75MHz or better.

❖❖❖❖

OS

Windows®95/98/3.11, Windows NT®3.51, or NT®4.0.

❖❖❖❖

Memory

16MB or more (for scanning).
48MB recommended.

❖❖❖❖

Hard disk

100MB or more of free disk space recommended. Approximately 16MB of
space is required to save one page of an A4 monochrome image scanned at
400dpi with a 256–value gray scale.

1

❖❖❖❖

SCSI board

Use a SCSI board recommended by the local dealer. The system may not op­erate properly with some SCSI boards.

❖❖❖❖

SCSI interface cable

Use a SCSI interface cable recommended by the local dealer. The type of SCSI
interface cable required depends on the SCSI board that is installed in the
computer.

3

Preparation

Connecting to the Computer

The scanner unit uses SCSI-2 interface to connect to the computer.

1

Important

Do not daisy chain other SCSI devices with the scanner.

❒

The scanner might not operate properly with some SCSI boards (installed in

❒

the computer).

Since the scanner unit has a built-in terminator, no terminator needs to be

❒

connected to the scanner. A terminator is only required at the other end of the
connection (i.e.,on the SCSI board in the personal computer).

Making the connection

A Turn the computer off.
B Make sure that none of the other functions are in use, and then turn off the

main power switch of the machine.

C Connect the 50–pin half-pitch (pin type) end of the SCSI interface cable to

the SCSI connector on the machine.

D Connect the other end of the SCSI interface cable to the computer.

Setting the SCSI ID

The SCSI ID for the scanner is initially set to “4”. Normally, there is no need to
change this ID. If it is necessary to change this ID, follow the procedure bellow.

A Turn the computer off.
B Turn on your machine, and wait until ”Ready” appears on the panel dis-

play of the machine.

2. Setting Originals

This chapter explains how to set the originals in the machine when using it as a
scanner. The originals can be set either on the exposure glass or in the document
feeder (ADF).

7

Setting Originals

Setting Originals on the Exposure Glass

The exposure glass can be used when scanning originals that cannot be set in the
document feeder (ADF), such as books or originals that have been pasted togeth­er. For convenience, these types of originals will be referred to as “book origi­nals.” Follow these steps to set originals on the exposure glass.

2

A Lift the platen cover or the document feeder(ADF), and place the original

face down on the exposure glass.

1. Reference mark

Important

Set the original after correction fluid and ink has completely dried. Not

❒

taking this precaution could mark the exposure glass and cause marks to
be copied.

Note

Set the original in the direction shown in the illustration. The direction of

❒

resulting scan is as follows.

Setting Originals

Setting Originals In The Document Feeder
(ADF)

You can set several pages of originals in the document feeder (ADF) at a time.
Only originals that consist of separate sheets of paper can be set in the document
feeder (ADF); for convenience, such originals will be called “sheet originals.” It
is possible to copy not only one side but both sides of originals that are set in the
document feeder (ADF).

❖❖❖❖

Non-recommended originals for the document feeder

Setting the following originals in the document feeder might cause paper mis­feeds or damage to the originals. Set these originals on the exposure glass.

• Originals other than those specified in the copy reference

• Stapled or clipped originals

• Perforated or torn originals

• Curled, folded, or creased originals

• Pasted originals

• Originals with any kind of coating, such as thermal fax paper, art paper,
aluminum foil, carbon paper, or conductive paper

• Originals with indexes, tags, or other projecting parts

• Sticky originals such as translucent paper

• Thin original that has low stiffness

• Originals of inappropriate weight in the copy reference

• Bound originals such as books

• Transparent originals such as OHP transparencies or translucent paper

❖❖❖❖

Setting Originals In The Document Feeder

• Do not stack originals above the limit mark

• When copying thin originals (41–52g/m
set to Thin Paper mode, or set your originals on the exposure glass to avoid
damage due to a multi-sheet feed (if several sheets are fed together at the
same time).
See”Thin Paper mode”in the copy reference.

• The original might become dirty if it is written with a pencil or similar
tools.

• For 1–sided originals, you can select the ADF tray or the ADF external tray
as an output tray
See”22.ADF Orig.Ejection”in the System Settings.

output tray. (for 1–sided originals)

Setting Originals In The Document Feeder (ADF)

1-sided Scanning

A Set the originals into the document feeder (ADF) with the side to be

scanned face up.

Note

The sheet of the original should be ordered in the preferred page sequence.

one sheet at a time), fan the pages of the original before setting them in the
document feeder (ADF).

Setting Originals

Set the original with the same direction as shown in the illustration. The di-

rection of the resulting scan is as follows.

B Adjust the guide on the document feeder (ADF) to the original size.

2-sided Scanning

A set the originals in the document feeder (ADF) with the side to be scanned

first (the front side of the original) face up.

Troubleshooting

This section explains the possible causes and the action when the scanner does
not scan an image in the expected manner.

Status Cause Action

The scanned image is dirty. The exposure glass or the

platen cover is dirty.

The scanned image is dis­torted or out of position

The scanned image is up­side down.

The original image cannot
be scanned.

The original is moved
while it is being scanned.

The original is not pressed
flat against the exposure
glass.

The original was placed
upside down.

The original was placed
with the front and the back
reversed.

Clean the exposure glass or
the platen cover.

Do not move the original
while it is being scanned.

Make sure that the original
is pressed flat against the
exposure glass.

When setting originals on
the exposure glass, place
the side to be scanned face
down; when setting origi­nals in the document feed­er (ADF), place the side to
be scanned face up.

The image density has
changed in the middle of
the scan.

Some types of originals
may cause the density to
change in the middle of a
scan.
