Scanner components Front view Back cover Scanner top cover Indicator lights Exit stop wire Side cover Exit tray Automatic feeder Input tray Automatic feeder and input tray — depending on the document thickness and condition, holds up to 50 documents. Place documents in the input tray for scanning (i6060 and i6090 Scanners only). Indicator lights (LEDs) — illuminates or flashes indicating scanner status. See Chapter 5, “Indicator lights” for more information.
Inside view 4 3 Inkjet printer Entry separation drive roller 2 1 Entry separation drive roller — feeds checks into the scanner (i6060 and i6090 Scanners only). Main drive rollers (1 - 4) — these rollers along the scanner path, provide smooth document feeding of various sizes, thicknesses and textures of documents. Inkjet printer (optional) — prints endorsements on the back of documents before scanning.
3 Using the Scanner Turning the scanner on and off • Toggle the power switch on the back of the scanner to turn the scanner on or off. After you turn on the scanner, wait for it to complete the self-test. When completed, the red LED will remain on and constant. NOTE: Once your application has detected the scanner, the red LED will change to green. If checks are in the input tray, the Paper Detect (left LED) will illuminate. Document preparation • For i6060 and i6090 Scanners only.
Scanning your documents 1. Place the documents into the input tray of the scanner until the left LED is lit. Be sure to slide the documents far enough forward so the scanner can detect the documents. NOTE: If checks do not sit flat in the paper path, the Paper Detect LED may not recognize their presence. Be sure that the checks are flat and not lifted at a slight angle. The documents should be placed in the input tray facing away from the scanner. 2. Using your application software, click Scan.
4 Maintenance Supplies and consumables Cleaning the scanner Contact your scanner supplier to order additional supplies: Description CAT No. Cleaning Kit / Kodak i6000 Series Check Scanners (including cleaning cards and swabs) 802 7393 Inkjet Cartridge hp c6602a 830 1087 Cleaning will depend upon how frequently your scanner is used. It is usually needed after scanning 3,000 to 5,000 documents.
4. While holding the cleaning card in place, select Scan from the Kodak ScanTest Software window allowing the entry rollers to scrub the card. 5. Wait until the motor stops, then remove the card, observing the dirt and flip the card to a clean corner and repeat Step 4. To clean the remaining drive rollers: 6. Place the cleaning card in the input tray and select Scan. You may need to give the cleaning card a slight push to start it through the transport. 7. Turn the cleaning card over and repeat Step 6. 8.
Weekly cleaning procedure A weekly cleaning should be performed approximately every fourth regular cleaning cycle. 1. Before starting this procedure, perform the daily cleaning procedure as outlined in the previous section. 2. Turn the scanner off. 3. Remove the scanner top cover. 4. Lift and remove the side cover. 5. Pull the exit stop wire out about 4 inches to provide adequate clearance for removing the back cover. NOTE: Do not remove the exit stop wire from the scanner.
6. Lift and remove the back cover. NOTE: If the back cover does not easily lift up, be sure that the exit stop wire is pulled out approximately 4 inches. 7. Loosen and remove the thumbscrew that holds the scan tower door in place. 8. Open the scan tower door. 9. Using the cleaning swab wipe both surfaces of the scan heads. 10. Close the scan tower door and reinstall the thumbscrew. 11. Replace the back cover first, then the side cover and turn the scanner on.
12. Launch the Kodak ScanTest Software. 13. Clean each drive roller by selecting Eject on the Kodak ScanTest Software window. Selecting Eject will turn the drive rollers for about 5 seconds. 14. Thoroughly clean all of the drive rollers (black and white) with the swab. While the rollers are turning, use an up-and-down motion to clean the entire roller. You may need to use several cleaning swabs if the rollers are very dirty. 15. Replace the top scanner cover.
Replacing the ink cartridge If you are using the Inkjet Printer, periodically you will need to change the ink cartridge. The ink cartridge should be changed when the endorsement print is light and difficult to read. Replacement cartridge: Hewlett-Packard Inkjet Cartridge hp c6602a (CAT No. 830 1087). 1. Turn off the scanner. 2. Remove the scanner top cover. 3. Lift up the tab at the rear of the ink cartridge and pull it out of the ink cartridge holder. 4.
5 Troubleshooting Occasionally you may encounter a situation with your check scanner where it may not function properly. Refer to the information in this chapter to help you resolve the situation before calling Technical Support. Indicator lights A-61557 December 2006 The two indicator lights provide information on the current state of the scanner: LED Scanner State Right LED on - red Scanner is powered-on.
Clearing a document jam If a document jam occurs, try one of the following methods to clear the document path: • If you are using the Kodak ScanTest Software, select the Eject button. • If the document does not clear the paper path, grasp the document with both hands and carefully wiggle it back and forth as you lift it out of the paper path. • If the document cannot be easily removed, do the following: 1. Remove the scanner top cover. 2.
Problem solving Use the chart below as a guide to check possible solutions to problems you may encounter when using the Kodak i6000 Series Check Scanners. Periodic and scheduled cleanings should be performed before determining if any further problem resolution is needed. Refer to Chapter 4, Maintenance for complete cleaning procedures. Helpful hints: • Always jog the documents to align the leading and bottom edges. Visually check the leading edges for bent or curled corners and straighten them as needed.
Problem 553 No print head Possible Solution The check scanner may not be recognizing the ink cartridge for one of the following reasons. Refer to the procedures in “Replacing the ink cartridge” earlier in the chapter for proper installation procedures. • Be sure the inkjet cartridge is properly installed. • If it is, remove the cartridge and reseat it. • Try installing a new inkjet cartridge.
