Preparing Documents for Scanning

Recommended Documents

•A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so that the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under the automatic paper feeder; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a time. Documents must be positioned face down for scanning.

•Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.

•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. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded edge first, while lifting the gap release lever.

NOTE: Use the optional dockable flatbed to scan damaged documents.

•When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the input tray guides must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.

NOTE: 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 that are outside of these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of scanner reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.

The following chart lists the recommended document attributes.
