1. Introduction
The Copiscan 8000 Plus Series scanner is designed to handle heavy workloads and harsh
production environments. The scanner requires minimal operator adjustments, has self-
calibrating cameras and self-adjusting lamps, as well as a self-diagnostic exam at start up.
Additionally, there are only a few consumables with this scanner. The exit tray design
ensures that document output is sequenced the same as the input, resulting in efficient,
clean scanning. With easy access to entire paper path, the Adaptive Contrast
Enhancement (ACE) feature, and the multifeed detector, the Copiscan 8000 Plus Series
scanner is the best choice for document scanning.

• Do not remove the feeder. Only qualified personnel should remove the feeder.
NOTE:
When the side panel of the scanner is opened, a safety interlock removes power from
the transport circuitry before any hazardous parts are accessible. This interlock
protects the user from the possibility of the transport running while the user panel is
open.
• Do not override the safety interlocks.
• Do not place cups containing liquids or other such objects on top of the scanner.
Normal scanner operation may cause cups to overturn and spill their contents into it,
causing damage to the scanner.
• Do not lean on the scanner.
NOTE:
There are no user-replaceable fuses in the unit. If the unit fails to power up, refer to
the Contact Information page in the front of this manual to contact a Bell & Howell
representative.

2. Operational Overview
Figure 1. Copiscan 8000 Plus Series Scanner
NOTE:
This manual assumes that you have a duplex scanner. Separate procedures will be
indicated for simplex scanners where procedures are different.
The scanner uses internal cameras to capture and digitize both sides of a document in a
single pass through its paper path. This digital information is sent via the host computer to
various storage media, including magnetic and optical.
The scanner can scan both “controlled” and “uncontrolled” document types. Controlled
documents are uniform in size and do not require a lot of preparation such as sorting or
removal of staples. Uncontrolled documents (business cards, sticky notes, carbon copies,
and dog-eared paper) are rarely uniform. The scanner minimizes prep work by handling
controlled and uncontrolled documents alike.
The scanner adjusts itself to accommodate the size, volume, condition, and skew of each
document. The front of the scanner houses a control panel, containing 13 keys and a two
line status message and diagnostic operator interface display. Operation of the controls
and the meaning of the codes and messages are explained later in this manual.
The operator controls let you capture information from a wide variety of
foreground/background and color/intensity combinations. Although the scanner can
digitize a wide variety of documents, it has been designed to primarily handle text images.

As documents travel through the transport, they are guided by seven sets of transport
rollers. Documents are delivered to the stacking surface on the exit tray, while the
scanner maintains the original document feed sequence. Both the feeding and retrieval of
documents are executed from the front of the scanner.
2.1 Front of the Scanner
This section introduces you to key components located on the front of the scanner. These
are components that you will use to operate the scanner and monitor its status. Section 5,
Operation contains detailed instructions about how to operate and read these
components. The figure below illustrates the front of the scanner and points out where the
components are located.

protrudes at a slight angle from the front of the scanner. When the scanner receives a
scan command, the scanner takes one document at time from the stack into its transport
system. The feeder has two adjustable guides that keep the documents in an orderly stack,
thereby preventing them from entering the scanner at an angle, which could cause
scanner jams or multifeeds.
2.1.2 Exit Tray
The exit tray is the plastic tray on the top front of the scanner where documents exiting
the transport system are stacked in the order in which they were fed. The exit tray is
adjustable, and it can be placed in different positions, depending on what size of
documents you are scanning.
2.1.3 Transport Latch
The scanner transport can be opened to access the occasional paper jam or for transport
maintenance. The transport is held shut by a transport latch located to the right of the
skimmer assembly and above the feeder. To open the transport, disengage the latch by
depressing it with your hand. The scanner will not operate with the transport open.
2.1.4 Side Access Panel
The side access panel is located on the left side of the scanner. It allows access for
replacing lamps, inserting and/or removing color dropout filters, air filter, and
maintenance of the scanner. The side access panel is held shut by a magnetic latch. The
side panel can only be opened when the transport is opened. The scanner will not operate
with the side access panel open.
2.1.5 Operator Controls
The control panel is located on the front of the scanner. It contains 13 keys and an LCD
display. The keys perform the following functions:
• Stop scanning; immediate stop
• Carry out scanner diagnostics
• Select scanning options
• Clear errors
The LCD display lets you monitor the scanner’s operational status and navigate its
functional menus.
2.2 Rear of Scanner
Components on the back of the scanner interface the scanner to a power source and to
the host computer, turn on the scanner, and help to cool it during operation.
