Document
preparation
Before you begin scanning documents, make certain the documents
can be fed through the scanner easily.
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so
the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under
the feed module; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into
the scanner one at a time.
• Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner and
documents. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.
• Documents with missing corners, perforated edges, hole punches in
the margins, irregular and curled edges, 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 with the lead edge of the document aligned with the
folded edge of the sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a
time, folded edge first, while using the gap release lever. Ultrasonic
multi-feed detection is not recommended when using plastic sleeves.
NOTE: When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the
elevator tray side guides must be aligned to accommodate the
width of the sleeve.
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 listed below. Scanning documents outside of
these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of scanner
reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.
Materials:
• Virgin, recycled and photographic papers
• Clear protective sleeves meeting the size and thickness
