3 Operating the Scanner
Overview
This chapter provides instructions for selecting modes, using temporary
operating values and feeding documents using either the semi-
automatic feeder or the automatic feeder.
The scanning process consists of the following steps:
1. Prepare the scanner for operation (refer to Chapter 2,
Getting
Started
for more information.)
2. The scanner is enabled by the host system.
3. Select a mode for the application. Typically the host computer
performs this step, but it may also be performed by the operator.
4. Select temporary operating values (if required).
5. Press the Run key.
6. Feed documents into the transport (refer to

using the semi-automatic

later in this chapter).
• The scanner assigns a sequential ID number (for digital image
storage), the document image level and image address.
• The document is scanned.
• The document image header is created.
• The host computer initiates transfer of the document image
header and document image to the host system for storage on
magnetic or optical disk media.
• Documents are deposited in the exit hopper, face down, in the
order in which they were fed into the transport.
7. Press the Stop key.

NOTE: If the scanner will not be used for 8 hours or more, turn off
the main power switch.
