Using the Multi-Feed Detector
Introduction
The
Kodak Digital Science
Multi-Feed Detector aids in document
processing by detecting documents that may go through the feeder
one on top of the other. Multi-feeds can easily happen due to damp
documents, adhesives on documents, electrostatically charged
documents, or a maladjusted feeder gap.
The Multi-Feed Detector is an accessory on the following models:
•
Kodak Digital Science
Scanner 9500 (S or D)
•
Kodak Digital Science
Scanner/Microimager 990 (S or D)
•
Kodak Imagelink
Scanners 900 and 923 (S or D)
•
Kodak Imagelink
Microimager 70
For the purpose of this User’s Guide, the equipment listed above will
be generically referred to as “scanner”.
NOTE: This accessory is not intended for use on machines with the
Check Feeder accessory.
Before you begin
For the Multi-Feed Detector to function properly be sure of the
following:
• Documents must be greater than or equal to 2.5 inches (104 mm)
in length. (Length is measured parallel to the direction of feeding.)
• Minimum document width is 4.5 inches.
• The thickness of the documents within a batch must be the same
within ±10% from any nominal value from 2.0 to 7.0 mils.
• Documents should be in good condition.
• The document stack is fanned before feeding to aid in document
separation.
• For a microimager, be sure the Advanced Document Controller*
and skew detection is installed and enabled in the desired mode.
