Preparing documents for scanning
Recommended documents
???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 document feeder. This allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a time. Documents must be positioned face down for scanning.
???Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.
???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 lifting the gap release lever.
???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. Scanning documents that are outside of these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of scanner reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.
The following chart lists the recommended document attributes.

Most documents will feed perfectly fine with the default separator module tension. However, there may be times when you are scanning documents that are lighter or heavier than normal. Two additional positions for the separator module spring allow you to adjust the tension to improve the scanning of these types of documents. The spring can be placed in one of the two channels or it can be released and left on the flat surface.

Color image quality is highly subjective. Here are some things to consider when scanning in color:
???The difference in the color outputs of scanners, printers, and monitors can affect the perception of the scanned document.
???Computer displays and printer output can vary from model to model, and from manufacturer to manufacturer. An image may be acceptable on one display and unacceptable on another.
???Area lighting (fluorescent, natural, incandescent) can affect color perception.
???The appearance of a colored area within an image can be perceived differently, based on what surrounds it.
???The characteristics and condition of a document can have an impact on color consistency.
???Color requirements may differ between environments (e.g., in a business document environment, images are generally viewed on a monitor, whereas in a ???print on demand??? environment, scanned images are printed).
To ensure that your scanner is delivering the best image:
???Clean the scanner. Contamination within the scanner degrades image quality. (Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning information.)
Problem solving
Occasionally, you may experience a problem with your scanner. In many cases, you can easily fix the problem yourself. To perform suggested maintenance, refer to the Maintenance section. You may also need to check your scanning application.
