1. Scanner Overview This chapter presents an overview of the 5000i scanner and provides information on how to receive technical support for hardware and software problems. Overview of the Scanner{ XE "Scanner, 5000i:Overview" } The 5000i is a device that captures the image{ XE "Image capture" \i } of a form. It sends that image to a host computer for analysis. Figure 1-1 illustrates the parts of the scanner.
• The output hopper { XE "Output hopper" }receives the forms that are successfully scanned. When the scanner starts, the output hopper is raised; when the scanner stops, the stacker is lowered, allowing you to remove the sheets. Before scanning, the output sheet stop adjustment knob { XE "Output sheet-stop adjustment knob" }should be set to the length of the scanned forms, so they will stack properly.

2. Scanner Installation This chapter describes how to set up and install the standalone 5000i scanner{ XE "Installation:Scanner" },{ XE "Scanner installation:Introduction" } the computer, the monitor, and the mouse. The 5000i scanner system consists of the following { XE "Scanner installation:Components" }components.
Installation The installation { XE "Scanner installation:Sequence of events" }sequence for the 5000i scanner includes: 1. Check the installation site { XE "Check the installation site" }{ XE "Installation site:verify readiness" }to verify that it is ready for setup and installation of the 5000i scanner with its computer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. 2. Install the scanner. 3. Install the computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and furniture. 4. Check the voltages. 5.
− The temperature must be between 60o and 80o Fahrenheit (16 - 27 C). − The humidity must be between 40% and 60% (non-condensing). • Heat { XE "Heat dissipation requirements" \i }{ XE "Installation site checkout:Heat dissipation requirements" }dissipation is 5300 - 5500 BTU/hr.
Installing the Scanner The 5000i scanner is delivered to the customer shrink-wrapped and up-right on its own four casters. Roll the scanner to its permanent location. Unpacking the Scanner To unpack { XE "Scanner installation:Unpacking" }{ XE "Unpacking the scanner, procedure" \t "See" }the scanner, do the following: 1. Remove the clear vinyl dust cover. Do NOT throw the clear vinyl dust cover away. It can be used to protect the scanner • during periods of non-use, or • when moving to another location.
Checking the Voltage{ XE "Scanner installation:Check the voltage" } Before you plug the 5000i scanner into the designated wall outlet, the following power and grounding requirements must be met and maintained to ensure optimum performance of the scanner and its peripherals. To verify that the power and grounding requirements have been met, refer to the following topics: Power Noise, Grounding, and Site Power Wiring{ XE "Wiring" \t "See Site power wiring recommendations" } Recommendations.
Dedicated Ground A dedicated isolated/insulated ground { XE "Dedicated ground specifications" }for the 5000i system must be provided. If possible, route a dedicated ground conductor { XE "Conductor:Ground, dedicated" }between the main power panel and the 5000i system branch circuit (with the dedicated feeder). If a dedicated ground conductor is not feasible, Chapter 2.
then another code-approved method must be used. (The isolated ground conductor is noted in the National Electrical Code{ XE "National Electrical Code" }{ XE "NEC" \t "See National Electrical Code" }, Section 250-74, Exception 4.) Use of an isolated ground rod or grounding to a water pipe is not acceptable. An isolated/insulated ground conductor, equal to or larger in size than the heaviest gauge AC feeder conductor in the circuit, should be bonded to the ground bus in the building main power panel.
Ground-To-Neutral Specifications{ XE "Conductor:Specifications, ground-to-neutral" \t "See" }{ XE "Voltage:Ground-to-neutral" } With circuit power turned off, the resistance between the circuit neutral conductor{ XE "Conductor:Neutral" }{ XE "Neutral conductor" \t "See Conductor, neutral" } and the isolated ground conductor must be less than 2.1 ohms.
Site Power Wiring Recommendations The table below describes the conditions{ XE "Scanner installation:Site power wiring recommendations" } { XE "Power wiring recommendations" }for power wiring at a scanner site. Condition Description Dedicated Feeder Run a separate dedicated feeder from the building main power panel to the branch power panel serving the 5000i system. The cabling should be of sufficient diameter to produce no less than 110V at the outlet when the 5000i is connected and powered on.
Electrical Requirements{ XE "Scanner installation:Electrical requirements" } The steady-state line-to-neutral voltage should be maintained within -10% to +5% of the normal rated voltage. The short term and long term frequency variations must be maintained at less than ±5% of the specified power line frequency, as measured at the input power side of the scanner when it is powered on. The table below lists the electrical requirements for the power operation of the 5000i scanner.
Logic Voltage Check-out Procedure{ XE "Adjustment:Multivolt logic power supplies" } The outputs of the power supplies { XE "Power supplies, multivolt logic:Adjustment" } { XE "Power supplies, multivolt logic:Voltage checkout procedure" }{ XE "Logic power supplies" \t "See power supplies, multivolt logic" }are read at their most critical point—the input to the Camera Controller board, the Solenoid Clutch Activation board, and the Top LED Mother board. 1.
