5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Loading Documents

• Automatic Document Feeder (ADF): Open the document feeder tray. Fan the stack of documents to prevent misfeeds and align the edges. Place the documents face-down into the ADF, ensuring they are within the paper guides. The ADF has a standard sheet capacity of 100 sheets.
• Manual Feed Mode: For delicate documents, thick items (up to 7mm like passports or booklets), or irregular sizes (business cards, C4 envelopes, receipts), use the manual feed mode. This mode is activated via a button on the scanner's operator panel. Carefully insert one document at a time into the manual feed slot.

5.2 Scanning with PaperStream ClickScan

PaperStream ClickScan simplifies the scanning workflow. Follow these steps:

1. Load your documents into the scanner's ADF or use manual feed mode.
2. Press the Scan button on the scanner's operator panel or initiate scanning from the PaperStream ClickScan application on your computer.
3. Once scanning is complete, the software will present options to send the scanned document to email, print it, or save it to a specified folder.

The fi-8150 supports fast scanning speeds of 50 pages per minute (ppm) or 100 images per minute (ipm) for double-sided documents, with an optical resolution of up to 600 dpi.

5.3 Duplex (Double-Sided) Scanning

The fi-8150 is capable of duplex scanning, meaning it can scan both sides of a document simultaneously. This feature is automatically handled by the scanner's advanced paper feeding system and software settings. Ensure your scanning profile in PaperStream ClickScan or PaperStream Capture is configured for duplex scanning if required.
