Jam and fault recovery

This section provides recommendations for application logic associated with scanner jam and fault recovery.

If your scanner is enabled and you are polling when a document jam or other fault occurs, use the following procedure to restart scanning.

IMPORTANT: Before beginning fault recovery, make sure all the headers and images have been transferred from the image buffer to the host system.

When a document jam or other fault occurs, the feeder and the transport will stop and the scanner will be disabled.

1.When all images have been retrieved from the scanner (image buffer empty), display the last image retrieved for operator viewing.

2.Use the image header of the last image retrieved to determine the image address and sequential counter.

3.Use the information above +1 to seed the next image address and sequential counter before re-enabling the scanner.

4.Instruct the operator to sort through the stack of documents being scanned to find the document that produced the last successfully scanned image. They must rescan all of the documents that follow the last successfully scanned document.

5.Enable the scanner.
