Document preparation Before you begin scanning documents, make certain the documents can be fed through the scanner easily. • A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under the feed module; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a time. • Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner and documents. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. • Documents with missing corners, perforated edges, hole punches in the margins, irregular and curled edges, torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully through the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every possible type of damaged paper. If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document can be transported through the scanner, place the document in a clear protective sleeve with the lead edge of the document aligned with the folded edge of the sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded edge first, while using the gap release lever. Ultrasonic multi-feed detection is not recommended when using plastic sleeves. NOTE: When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the elevator tray side guides must be aligned to accommodate the width of the sleeve. Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is achieved when scanning documents within the recommended document specifications listed below. Scanning documents outside of these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of scanner reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life. Materials: • Virgin, recycled and photographic papers • Clear protective sleeves meeting the size and thickness requirements in this section Paper Types: Bond, Laser, Inkjet, Offset Paper Weights: The elevator tray handles a broad range of paper weights from 45 to 200 g/m2 (12 to 110 lb.). The Kodak Feeder Kit for Ultra Lightweight Paper can handle paper weights from 25 to 75 g/m2 (7 to 20 lbs). Minimum Document Size: 6.4 x 6.4 cm (2.5 x 2.5 in.). Documents as small as 5 cm (2 in.) (i.e. business cards) can be center-fed, in portrait orientation one at a time. A-61500 April 2007 3-3
