Kodak i800 Series manual January

Setting Multi-feed detection Multi-feed Detection aids in document processing by detecting documents that may go through the feeder overlapped. Multi-feeds can happen due to stapled documents, adhesives on documents, or electrostatically charged documents. 3D Multi-feed Detection combines ultrasonics (amplitude and phase) with physical length detection to virtually eliminate the chance of loosing data due to multi-feeds.

The Ultrasonic Sensor is located in the center of the transport (behind the feeder module). In order for multi-feed documents to be detected correctly, they must pass under this sensor.

Length Detection  this option can be enabled or disabled. The default is disabled. If Length Detection is enabled, enter the maximum length (in inches). This is the minimum length of the document that can be scanned with a multi-feed being detected. Length detection is used when scanning same-sized documents to check for overlap. For example, if you are scanning 8 ½ x 11” documents in portrait mode, you may want to enter a value of 11.25 in the Maximum Length field. The maximum value is 30.5 inches.

Auto Set  when enabled, will automatically set the maximum length value to .50-inch greater than the length of the currently selected page size.

Units  length detection will be displayed in inches. Pixels and Centimeters are not available through the graphical user interface.

Stop Scanner  if this option is not selected, the scanner will display and log the condition but continue to operate. If selected, the scanner will display, log the condition and stop the feeder (the scanner will remain enabled). When an overlap or multi-feed is detected, the scanner stops the feeder, clears the transport of all pages and then the documents can be refed.

End Job  if this option is selected, the scanner will display, log the condition and stop the feeder and transport (the scanner will be disabled). Scanning can only be resumed when the scanner is re-enabled from the host.
