8825/8830 DDS User Guide/15
Getting to know the 8825/8830 DDS
Power On
The components of the 8825/ 8830 DDS should be switched on in the
following order:
•
Scanner
•
Controller (circuit breaker, if so equipped)
•
Printer.
Switching on the Scanner
To switch on the Scanner, press the Power On/ Off Switch to the I position.
When the Scanner is switched on, the fluorescent lamp inside the Scanner
will illuminate immediately. If the lamp does not illuminate, refer to the
Problem solving section of this User Guide.
Note: the DDS User Interface only operates when the Controller is switched
on. The panel is not electrically connected to the Scanner.
Warmup
The Scanner requires about 2.5 minutes to warm up and initialize after the
operator switches it on. During this time, internal circuitry and external
communications are checked, and the internal cameras are normalized,
using the Document Hold-down Guide as a color reference.
Note: if the guide is not installed when the Scanner is switched on,
normalization will fail, and either you will not be able to scan documents or
you will obtain unsatisfactory images.
At the start of the normalization sequence, the document drive motor will
operate briefly in the reverse direction to ensure that no document blocks the
view of the Document Hold-down Guide. Documents will not be accepted by
the document drive mechanism until normalization is completed
successfully. Once normalization is complete, the operator may insert a
document, and the Scanner will transport the document to the starting
position. This transportation of the document is called
staging.
If you cannot insert a document into the feed mechanism and achieve
staging after approximately 2.5 minutes, refer to the
Problem solving section
of this
User Guide.
