Preparing documents
for scanning
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so that
the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under the
automatic document feeder. This allows the feeder to introduce documents
into the scanner one at a time. Documents must be positioned
face down
for scanning.
• Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner. Remove all
staples and paper clips before scanning.
• 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. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time,
folded
edge first, while lifting the gap release lever
.
• When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the input tray guides
must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.
NOTE: 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. Scanning documents that are outside of
these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of
scanner reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.
