Using the Multi-Feed Detector

Introduction

Before you begin

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.

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.

*All Kodak Digital Science 9000 series Document Scanners and Kodak Imagelink 900 series Scanners come with the Advanced Document Controller installed.
