UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROLS OF SMARTLF

SmartLF  Gx/GxT  document  loading  is  fully  automatic.    The  document  is  detected  using  optical  sensors

located near the center and at the side of the scanner nearest the control panel.

With two hands, place the document on the scanner with the longest edge (if possible) towards the scanner opening.

The document is now  pushed against the  stationary  rollers,  ‘squared  up’  and  held  in  this  position.    The  display  will

change to ‘LOAD’ as SmartLF Gx/GxT detects the media.  After approximately one second SmartLF Gx/GxT will start

to load the document.   After the document is loaded the display will return to ‘Ready’

When a document is loaded and the SmartLF software (or ScanWorks and CopySmart optional software) is running,

either the software icons or the scanner panel buttons can be used to start and stop the scanning process. The panel

display will show the word ‘Scanning’ just before and during movement of the document through the scanner.

REMOVING A LOADED DOCUMENT/ CORRECTING A SKEWED DOCUMENT

Pressing  the  red  STOP  /  REWIND  button  on  the  Gx/GxT  panel  during  or  after  a  document  has  been

loaded will REWIND the document.  The document will rewind for as long as the button is held down.

This  is  useful  when  a  document  skews  slightly,  loads  awkwardly  or  needs  to  be  rotated  to  present  a

better or longer side to the scanner.

A document can be rewound at any time.  The STOP button may be pressed during

display of the ‘Abort load?’ message.

ADVANCING (FORWARD FEEDING) THE DOCUMENT

After a document is loaded pressing this button will 

forward advance

 the document.  SmartLF Gx/GxT will

move the document for as long as the button is held down.

EJECTING THE DOCUMENT

After a scan has completed and where the software is instructed to 

hold

 the document, this button can be

used to 

eject

 the document from the rear of the scanner.

STOPPING SMARTLF GX/GXT WHEN UNDER PROGRAM CONTROL

STOPPING SMARTLF GX/GXT

SmartLF Gx/GxT

STOP / REW

 again to rewind the document or 

do nothing

 to have the document

stay at its current position.  A loaded document can be rewound at any time using

the
