Security Notice

The management of documents and scanned data is the responsibility of the user. In particular, pay attention to the following points.

Make sure you have the same number of pages for important documents both before and after scanning, and take care not to leave any pages in the scanner.

Periodically back up important data.

When having your computer or hard disk serviced, or when disposing of your computer or hard disk, completely erase any stored image data.

Others

Make sure to remove paper clips and staples from documents before scanning. Failing to do so can damage the unit, document, or both.

Do not use thinner, benzine, or cleaners containing abrasives or surfactants, for cleaning the outside of scanner.

Do not wear accessories, otherwise they may get caught in the machine or obstruct its operation. Long hair should be tied up.

The feed tray and the exit tray move up or down depending on the scanner's status. Do not apply excessive force to the feed tray or the exit tray, and do not place anything under the trays.

10 Optional Imprinter Unit

10.1 Installing the Imprinter Unit and Ink Cartridge

The imprinter unit can be used to print information such as a name, the date and time, or a serial number on the document after scanning. Depending on your goals, the imprinter can be used as a pre-imprinter or a post-imprinter.

The pre-imprinter prints onto the face of the document prior to scanning. The printed information will also appear in the scanned image.

The post-imprinter prints onto the reverse side of the document after scanning. The printed information will not appear in the scanned image.

Notice

Do not use the imprinter to print on water-repellent documents such as film, coated paper, some kinds of copy paper, etc. These documents repel ink, and the ink may stain the inside of the scanner (for example, the rollers). If imprinter ink has stained parts of the scanner, clean them by using the Roller cleaning paper (KV-SS03).

The imprinter unit or ink cartridge should only be inserted or removed after the power is turned off.

Note

The imprinter cannot be used when "Mechanical Deskew" is enabled. For details about "Mechanical

Deskew", refer to the Image Capture Plus, TWAIN, or ISIS help.

11.3 Shading Adjustment

11.3 Shading Adjustment

When shading adjustment is required

Perform shading adjustment when the density and brightness of sections of scanned images are considerably uneven, or when image quality does not improve after cleaning the inside of the scanner.

Before proceeding with the shading adjustment

Before beginning shading adjustment, thoroughly clean the scanning glasses, conveyors in the scanning

area (page 68), and all rollers (page 70).

If you perform shading adjustment while these parts are dirty, lines will appear on scanned images.

Shading adjustment procedure

1.

Start User Utility.

2.

Click [User Shading...] on the main menu, and operate as the image display dictates.

Note

For further details, refer to section "[User Shading]" in the help for User Utility.

Notice

If the shading adjustment has not been performed properly, then lines might appear on scanned images even after adjusting the shading, or lines might not be eliminated even after cleaning the scanning glass. Clean the parts, and then adjust the shading again.

The scanning speed differs depending on the host computer, the operating system, the application, the measuring method, the quantity of data in the image, and the paper type. The scanning speed depends on a measuring method of Panasonic.

When scanning a document larger than A5 size at high resolutions over 600 dpi, the scanning may fail due to insufficient memory.

For details, see "7.1.1 Compatible Paper" (page 39).

Using "Long Paper", you can scan a long document to a series of split scanned images. For details about "Long Paper", refer to the Image Capture Plus, TWAIN, or ISIS help.

Use "Thin paper mode" (page 28) when scanning the document less than 40 g/m² (10.6 lb.).

For details, see "9.3 Replacing the Rollers" (page 77).
