Preparing Documents
for Scanning
• 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.
