Operating the scanner
with the Multi-Feed
Detector enabled
When the Multi-Feed Detector is enabled, the scanner is
continuously checking documents for multi-feeds when the transport
is running. When a multi-fed document is encountered, an error will
be reported. The scanner will report a document as a true multi-fed
document if it overlaps another document by ¾ of an inch or more.
When a multi-feed is detected, one of the following errors will occur
(depending upon how the scanner is configured):
• If the scanner is setup to stop and display an error, an E204
message will be displayed. The transport will stop and both Multi-
Feed Detector indicators will be illuminated. To recover from an
E204 error:
- reset the image address
- reset the document stack
- start the transport again
• If the scanner is setup to beep and display an error or just display
an error, an E107 message will be displayed. The transport will
continue to run, and both Multi-Feed Detector indicators will be
illuminated. To recover from an E107 error:
- reset the image address
- reset the document stack
- press either the Enable, Calibrate or Stop button in order to
reactivate the Multi-Feed Detector.
NOTES:
• A skewed document can also trigger an E107 or E204 error. If
only the Multi-Feed Detector Enable button is illuminated when an
E107 or E204 error is displayed, then the document was skewed.
• If for some reason, a document misses the Multi-Feed Detector
sensor, the error situation described above will also occur
(according to the setup of the scanner).
