Preparing Documents
for Scanning
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so
that the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered
under the automatic paper feeder; this allows the feeder to introduce
documents into the scanner one at a time.
• Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully
through the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every
possible type of damaged paper. If in doubt about whether a specific
damaged document can be transported through the scanner, place
the document in a clear protective sleeve. Sleeves should be
manually fed, one at a time, folded edge first, while pressing the
gap release button on the scanner.
• When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the input tray
guides must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.
NOTE: Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents
that represent the broad spectrum of document types found in
the most common business applications. Optimal scanner
performance is achieved when scanning documents within the
recommended document specifications listed below. Scanning
documents that are outside of these specifications may lead to
undesirable results in terms of scanner reliability, image quality,
and/or consumable life.

NOTE: Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported
successfully through the scanner, but no scanner can transport
every possible type of damaged paper. If in doubt about
whether a specific damaged document can be transported
through the scanner, place the document in a clear protective
sleeve and feed it manually, folded edge first, while pressing the
gap release button on the scanner.
