Operating Instructions
1. Loading Documents
- Ensure the input tray is extended.
- Fan the stack of documents to separate pages and align the edges.
- Place up to 50 sheets of standard paper (Letter size) into the input tray. Adjust the side guides to fit the width of your documents.
- For hard or embossed cards (up to 1.4mm thick), load them individually or in small stacks, ensuring they are properly aligned.
2. Performing a Scan
- Ensure the scanner is powered on. The power button is located on the control panel.
- Open your scanning application on your computer.
- Select your desired scanning profile (e.g., color, grayscale, black & white, resolution).
- Press the 'Scan/Stop' button on the scanner's control panel, or initiate the scan from your software.
- The scanner will automatically feed and scan the documents. The ultrasonic double-feed detection will help prevent errors.
- After scanning, review the images in your software and save them to your desired location.
3. Using Smart Multi-Feed and Automatic Separation
The scanner's smart multi-feed function is designed to handle documents that might appear to be double-fed but are intentionally overlapping, such as receipts taped to a sheet. The enhanced automatic separation function helps in correctly identifying and processing individual documents within a batch, improving efficiency for mixed document types.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures consistent scan quality and extends the life of your scanner.
1. Cleaning the Scanner
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the scanner with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Glass and Roller Cleaning: Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual (usually provided with the software or available online) for cleaning the glass scanning surface and feed rollers. Use only approved cleaning kits or isopropyl alcohol on a soft cloth.
- Sensor Cleaning: Dust or debris on the ultrasonic double-feed detection sensor can affect its performance. Clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth or a cotton swab.
2. Consumables
The feed rollers and separation pads are consumable parts that wear out over time. Replace them when scan quality deteriorates or paper feeding issues become frequent. Replacement kits are available from Fujitsu or authorized resellers.
