Safety
User Precautions
- Place the scanner on a sturdy, level work surface capable of supporting 5.5 kg (12 lbs.).
- Do not install the scanner in a location exposed to dust, humidity, or vapor, as this could cause electric shock or fire. Use the scanner indoors in dry locations only.
- Ensure the power outlet is within 1.52 meters (5 feet) of the scanner and easily accessible.
- Use only the power cord provided with the scanner. Using a different power cord may cause electric shock or product damage.
- Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or fire.
- Do not damage, knot, cut, or modify the power cord, as this could cause electric shock or fire.
- The scanner requires a dedicated power outlet. Do not use an extension cord or power strip to connect the scanner.
- Use only the AC adapter provided with the scanner. Do not use the scanner's AC adapter with other products.
- Leave sufficient space around the power outlet for easy disconnection in case of emergency.
- Do not use the scanner if it overheats, emits a strange odor, smoke, or makes unusual noises. Stop the scanner immediately, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and contact Kodak technical support.
- Do not disassemble or modify the scanner or AC adapter.
- Do not move the scanner with the power cord or interface cable connected, as this can damage the cables. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before moving the scanner.
- Follow Kodak's recommended cleaning procedures. Do not use cleaning products applied with air, liquid, or gas sprayers, as these products only displace dust, dirt, or debris to other parts of the scanner, potentially causing malfunction.

Installing the Flatbed
Before you begin, ensure your Kodak i2400/i2600/i2800 scanner is already installed.
- Connect the USB/power adapter to the Kodak A4 or A3 Flatbed Accessory.
- Insert the USB cable into the USB port of the USB/power adapter, then insert the other end of the USB connector into an available USB port on the host PC (must support USB 2.0 high speed).
- Connect the power supply to the USB/power adapter.
- Connect the AC power cord to the power supply, and then connect the AC power cord to the wall outlet.
- When the green LED indicator on the flatbed is solid, the accessory is ready for use.
- Verify that the green flatbed LED is illuminated before powering on the Kodak i2400/i2600/i2800 scanner. If the scanner was powered on before the green flatbed LED was solid, you will need to power the scanner off and on again.
NOTE: If you need to remove the USB/power adapter, press the red tab to release it from its position.

Scanning multiple special documents with the flatbed will be easier using the flatbed start button to initiate scanning.
NOTE: Each time the start button is pressed, an image file will be generated.

- Close the flatbed cover.
- Initiate the scanning process. You can scan the document using the scanner start button, the flatbed, or the host PC.
Cleaning the Flatbed
Dirt or fingerprints may be deposited on the scanning surface glass of the flatbed, which could cause a decrease in image quality. Use Kodak Scanner Cleaning Cloths (Catalog # 896 5519) or Kodak Brillianize Scanner Cleaning Wipes (Catalog # 826 6488) to clean the glass platen.
IMPORTANT: Staticide cleaning cloths contain isopropanol, which can cause eye irritation and skin dryness. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after performing maintenance procedures. For more information, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
- Open the flatbed cover.
- Clean the glass platen with a Brillianize cleaning wipe (step 1) or a nearly dry Staticide wipe.
- Dry the glass platen with a nearly dry Brillianize cleaning wipe (step 2) or Staticide wipe to remove any streaks.
- Close the flatbed cover.
The Kodak Black Background Accessory (Catalog # 863 6870) is available for use with the Kodak A4 Flatbed Accessory. This accessory eliminates spotting when scanning both sides of a document. It can also be used to scan white documents with a defined black border for images.
