Introduction User Manual H12 / SCAMAX® 8x1 - Version 2019.12
Page 11 of 136
1. Introduction
This manual contains information about the correct handling of SCAMAX® document scanners, type
H12 . This type includes the models 801, 811 and 821.
Additional models and special editions with a dierent conguration are possible.
All models are identical in design. If a specic model is not explicitly mentioned in this manual, the
description covers all models alike. In order to exclude operating errors, before you start working with
the SCAMAX® scanner, the pertinent safety precautions in this manual are to be observed.
This manual only describes the operation of SCAMAX® H12 type scanners and the integrated software
interface. The operation of external scanning software and the scanning computers used with them
from other manufacturers can be found in the respective manuals.
1.1. Safety instructions
The unit may only be connected to a grounded outlet.
Removing of housings using tools is only permitted for trained technicians and authorized experts.
Under normal conditions the removing of housings isn’t necessary.
Risk due to moving parts! Keep ngers and other body parts away.
1.2. Specic Danger Spots
While running, moving or opening and closing the unit, specic danger spots can arise which are
partially marked with warning decals and described in the following chapters. All gures are based
on a unit with full expansion (Dual Input Hopper and 2nd Output Hopper), as certain danger spots are
only existing with those modules.
1.2.1. Unmarked Danger Spots
1.2.1.1. Covers
The scanner may only be operated with closed covers (see chapter 6.3./6.5.). Magnetic switches at
all relevant positions prevent from operation with opened covers. When reaching into the covered
area, a small risk of pinching and grazing remains, due to exposed parts of the transport mechanism.
WARNING
All paragraphs with WARNING indicate that injury to the operator may be possible in case of
non compliance.
CAUTION
All paragraphs with CAUTION point out that non-observance can cause damage to the device
under certain circumstances.
WARNING
As an non-observance of the subsequent described danger spots can result in substantial
injuries, unconditional attention should be paid to all related notes and handling instructions.

1.2.1.2. Dust Exposure
Dependent on age, condition and the previous storage of the scan documents the dust exposure can
increase in the immediate vicinity of the scanner. If symptoms like tussive or mucosal irritations sud-
denly occur in coherence to such a material, an adequate ventilation should be ensured. In extreme
cases a suitable inhalation protection must be used.
1.2.1.3. Dual Input Hopper
The Dual Input Hopper isn’t blocked anymore and can be moved manually if the scanner is powered
o. Because of that, the Dual Input Hopper must be dismounted or protected against unwanted
shifting by appropriate means while moving or transporting the unit.
While running the scanner with a Dual Input Hopper the lateral movement range may not be blocked.
Non-observance can result in crush or jam injuries.
During the lateral movement of the Dual Input Hopper in case of a refe-
rence move or an Input Tray switching, its center bridge moving along the
housing edges. The distance between the center bridge and the edges is
big enough to prevent jams. Nevertheless, a small risk remains at this point.
1.2.1.4. Input tray
Inside the Input Tray of the Paper Input laterally slotted holes are existing
where the plate of the Input Tray is guided. The slight width of the slotted
holes prevent jams. Nevertheless, a small risk remains at this point.
1.2.2. Marked Danger Spots
Areas with increased risk potential are identied with the following warning icons directly bonded
to the unit.
1.2.2.1. General Danger Spot
This warning icon indicates a general or not specied danger spot which can contain
dierent possible causes of risk.
In the present case the warning
icons are placed behind the Gaiters
of the present Output Hoppers and
should indicate that the scanner
may not be driven with an open
Gaiter, as rotating parts or crushing
zones are unprotected and result in
a higher risk of injuries.

1.2.2.2. Danger Spot Seize/Entangle
The beside warning icon indicates to the risk of seize or entangle, which is caused by
the fast rotating Input Rollers or Paper Transport Rollers in case of this scanners. Besi-
de the risk to grab with the ngers into the rotating rollers, it is oering a higher risk
to entangle long hairs or similar parts in it.
As the Transport Area is inside the
scanner and the unit can’t be driven
in an open condition or with mis-
sing covers, only the Paper Input,
means the Feeder Roller Assembly,
and the front Transport Rollers of
the Paper Output in the Output
Hoppers are pointed as danger
spots. While the Paper Transport
is running, it is not allowed to grab
into the moving areas and long
parts (hairs, chains, ties, etc.) which
can entangle into the rollers must
kept away from it.
1.2.2.3. Danger Spot Crush/Jam 1
This warning icon indicates to the possible risk of crush or jam body parts while open
or close the dierent scanner parts (see chapter 6.). While opening the scanner parts,
the danger spots are located at the rear side of the scanner inside the wedge-shaped
housing notches above the Rear Paper Output and between the two Output Hoppers.
While closing the scanner parts, the areas between the surfaces which overlaps in
closed condition are more relevant.

1.2.2.4. Danger Spot Crush/Jam 2
This warning icon indicates to the possible risk of crush or jam body parts if the Rack
Gaiters has been released. In this case metal braces between the Lifting Columns are
exposed, which are normally covered by this Gaiters. While lower the scanner by its
Height Adjustment there will exist a higher risk of crush or shear o body parts.
1.2.2.5. Danger Spot Crush/Jam 3
Also this warning icon is related to the Height Adjustment of the scanner and indicates
to the possible risk of crush or jam the body while lower the scanner. Because of the
heavy weight of the unit it’s not allowed to lower the scanner while anybody is under-
neath the unit.
1.2.2.6. Danger Spot Electrical Voltage
The beside warning icon indicates to an area of electrical voltage. In the actual case it
points to the housing of the Power Supply which is normally covered by the right hand
Rack Gaiter. This housing may only be opened by a trained technician while the scan-
ner is not connected to a power cord.

2. General description
The SCAMAX® H12 type scanners are designed for daily document processing in large volumes. They
are among the most powerful and exible high volume scanners that are oered on the market.
The integrated motorized height adjustment moves the console machine to the desired working
height of the user if necessary, and thus allows an optimized workplace ergonomics.
An internal proprietary scan client guarantees autonomous scanning using all available equipment
functions at maximum speed. The resulting images are exported outside together with associated
metadata in a dened manner. The available drivers allow easy integration into any existing scanning,
workow and archiving system.
The scanning is done one or double sided, with a selectable scan between 75 and 600 dpi.
The models are equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet port to export the scan data of the internal scan
client and a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed port to control the scanner using Twain™ driver or ISIS-compatible
MS61 driver.
The scanners have a Single Input Hopper with a capacity up to 1,000 sheets, making it possible to scan
documents in batch mode. Optionally, the device can also be equipped with a Dual Input Hopper.
This doubles the feeder capacity and enables continuous processing.
The integrated and controllable ultrasonic sensors reliably detect unintended double feeding, even
with changing sheet thickness, and can react dierently to it.
All settings for paper handling are made on the scanner.The documents are processed in unchanged
sequence and generally also output in the same manner. The existing "Straight" Through Paper Pass
with rear ejection and the possibility of extension with a second Output Hopper, paper output can
also be controlled based on project. Sorting out of individual control sheets is also possible.
The sensors in the paper transport path, in the case of a paper jam, ensures that the transport is stop-
ped in fractions of a second. Damage to the documents can be largely avoided.
By the capacitive touch screen, the conguration and operation of the scanner has become even easier.
With today's conventional controls, projects and proles can be easily set up. Unique icons, full text
aids and full text error messages guarantee a safe and logical operation of the scanner.
The scanners are factory equipped with two imprinters. These print a line of text either on the front
or back of documents, with freely selectable information such as date, time, project name and a
serial number.

2.1. SCAMAX® upgrade concept 801/811/821
The H12 scanner type supports the exible upgrade system developed by InoTec GmbH. Through
this the document scanner can be optimally adapted to changing production volumes by upgrading
the scanning speed.
By specifying time limits, also providing temporary upgrades to carry out tests or to intercept occur-
ring performance peaks is possible.
The middle number in the model name stands for the enabled speed level. The model 801 thus
constitutes the basic model with a throughput of up to 160 pages per minute (ppm), while the
model 811, the average speed maximum 220 ppm and the model 821 provides the highest speed
of maximum 300 ppm.
All speed information relating to the scanning of A4 documents in landscape mode with a resolution
of 200 or 300 dpi.
Additional models and special editions with a dierent conguration are possible.
2.2. Extensions/options
Similar to the speed, the H12 scanner type can optionally be extended in other areas. The previously
known or planned extensions are listed below.
2.2.1. Dual Input Hopper
In order to enable continuous processing and thereby increase the eciency of the scanning work-
station, a Dual Input Hopper (see chapter 2.3.1.2.) can be used instead of a Single Input Hopper. This
has two adjacent Input Trays with a capacity of 1,000 sheets each, which are alternately executed. In
order for the scan operator to have the option to ll the empty Input Tray with documents, without
having to interrupt the scanning process.The project-based conguration ability and the use of these
Dual Input Hopper is described in chapter 5.4.4.
2.2.2. HighSpeed Stacker Arm
Since paper develops its own momentum during transport at high speed, a special stacking arm was
developed for handling the Highspeed Output Mode, which not only specically intercepts ejected
sheets, but also controls the lowering of the output tray and registers jams during the output to ensure
an optimized and as trouble-free as possible paper output. Since it features integral speed manage-
ment, the same HighSpeed Stacker Arm can be used with all three scanner models.
2.2.3. 2nd Output Hopper
To reect on the benets of the aforementioned Dual Input Hopper also in the output area, the H12
type can be equipped with a 2nd Output Hopper (see chapter 2.3.1.2.).The project-based conguration
possibility and the use of this second shelf is described in the chapters 4.6.3.3.1. and 5.7.5.
2.2.4. Imprinter HD
The two imprinters supplied in standard congurations (Kapitel 2.3.4.) may be replaced with an optio-
nal HD variant. Apart from oering three dierent print quality settings, HD imprinters are capable of
printing up to four lines simultaneously, in varying font sizes. Also, they can produce bar codes based
on three dierent bar code types. For more information, please refer to chapter 8.

2.2.5. Straight Through Paper Path Elevation
Should scan material be processed, by which the thickness signicantly exceeds the bounds of a
document, for example, closed envelopes with multiple inlaid sheets, the possibility exists with this
option to gradual increase the straight-through paper path by more than 100%. For more information,
please refer to chapter 5.7.6.1..
2.2.6. Extension kits for over-sized documents
If you need to process documents longer than A3, extension kits are available for the input hopper(s)
(see chapter 5.4.2.) and for the front output hopper(s) (see chapter 5.7.1.). The rear output hopper can
be replaced with an optional, sloping version (see chapter 5.7.6.), which is variable in size and capable
of accepting documents of up to 62 cm in length
