Fast Preview

It is recommended that you leave the PC monitor screen resolution at the 
default setting when the system is installed (1024 x 768). If the screen 
resolution is changed from this default, the rulers on the scanner preview 
window may be covered by the preview image, particularly with smaller, 
custom sized originals.

6

More - Pictorial 
Rendering

The Brightness, Contrast, and Advanced Image Adjustment controls will 
not function if the “Pictorial Rendering” selection (found in the “More” button 
on the “Image Quality” tab) is changed to “Threshold” for any “Original 
Type” other than “Text and Line Art.”

7

Background 
Suppression

Background suppression has improved significantly as compared to the 
“DocuImage 620S Scanner” and the “Production Scanner”. Specifically, the 
“Normal” selection will remove the background on the wider range of 
background darkness levels. Documents with darker backgrounds or 
darker colored stocks that previously required background suppression 
settings of “Strong” or “Very Strong” may no longer require these settings.

8

SCSI scanner 
connection

It is important to ensure the connectors on the SCSI interface cable that 
connects the scanner to the PC is properly seated and the thumbscrews 
holding the connector are tightened. If the screws on the connector are not 
tightened, the connections, particularly on the scanner, may become loose 
over time, resulting in one of the following fault codes: 62-125, 62-145.

9

System calibration

The scanner image quality may vary 

slightly

 for the first 20 - 30 minutes of 

operation if the scanner has been turned off for an extended period of time. 
If the scanner has been turned “off” for longer than 48 hours, it is 
recommended that you calibrate the scanner immediately prior to scanning 
a job for the first 20 - 30 minutes of operation after powering on.

10

Windows “Found 
New Hardware” 
message

Upon a reboot of the scanner and the PC, Windows may occasionally 
display a “Found New Hardware” message, despite having completed a full 
installation of the scanner hardware. Assuming the devices were rebooted 
in the proper sequence (scanner first, until the “Ready” light is lit, then the 
PC), this message can be ignored by selecting “Cancel” from the “Found 
New Hardware” dialog.

11

Pictorial rendering 
warning message

Changes made to the “Pictorial rendering” selection, followed by a change 
in the “Original Type” selection, may yield a warning, noting that the 
pictorial rendering has been automatically changed (“Warning - setting 
change - the following setting will be reset: Pictorial rendering”).

NOTE:  The “Pictorial rendering” selection is located by selecting the 
“More” button on the “Image Quality” tab of the scanner driver.

12

Printing Help

If you attempt to print the full contents of “Help” (Go to Help and choose the 
heading “Solving Problems”, then choose to print “selected heading and all 
subtopics”), the last subtopic entitled “Clearing Jams and Misfeeds” does 
not print and must be printed separately.
