Features of the ArtixScanDI 2020
TheArtixScanDI 2020 comes with several important features, including the following:
• IncludedAutomatic Document Feeder (ADF) — The high-capacityADF for the
ArtixScanDI 2020 holds up to 100 sheets of paper, supporting dimensions from
2.75"x2.75"upto 8.5"x14"(legalsize).
• Duplex scanning support — With the use of the ADF, both sides of a document
can be scanned with the scanner.
• Automatic paper loading—Paper put in the Document Feed Tray of theADF is
automatically sensed by the scanner, and the tray automatically rises to the
correct position in preparation for scanning.
• Hi-Speed USB port — Hi-Speed USB is capable of data transfer rates of up to 480
MB/sec. Hi-Speed USB is backward compatible with the original USB standard,
providing the high/low data transfer rate via the included Hi-Speed USB cable.
• Support for ISIS andTWAIN — ISIS is a module-extensible standard for
acquisition, viewing, data format conversion, printing and storage. TWAIN is
another widely used standard implemented in many imaging applications today.
Note: If your application does not support ISIS, use a TWAIN application for the
ArtixScanDI2020.
• Microtek ScanWizardDI scanning software — Supporting both ISIS and TWAIN,
ScanWizardDI also features full document scanning tools and on-screen proofing.
Its multi-scanning area and preview option allow you to obtain quick scans in the
previewwindow.
• Three programmable function buttons — The programmable function buttons on
the front panel of the scanner provide you with an intuitive and easy way to
access scanner functions.
• Auto-crop and auto-deskew — The auto-crop function automatically detects the
size of the original image, crops the full scan frame to fit the image, and removes
unwanted black borders. The auto-deskew function automatically corrects
distorted images for proper alignment.
• Color dropout — Red, green and blue colors can be dropped out to allow for
clearer and more accurate forms processing with problematic color documents.
• Space-saving design — The unique design of theArtixScanDI 2020 does not
require much room for storage and frees up space in workstations for other
equipment.

Positioning Your Documents
This section shows you how to position a single-sheet document, as well as a stack
of documents.
To position a single-sheet document (such as a single photograph or a page from a
book):
Raise the scanner lid, and place the document to be scanned face down on the
scanner glass surface. Place the top end of the document towards the back of the
scanner, then lower the scanner lid on the scanner glass surface.
To position a stack of documents:
Pull out the Feed Tray Extender, and load the stack of originals onto the Document
Feed Tray, with the side to be scanned facing up. Push the stack of papers onto the
tray until the papers' edges touch the front edge of the Document Feed Tray.
With the document face down on
the scanning glass, align the
document against the Horizontal
Ruler of the scanner.
When scanning, the rear glass
surface should be kept clear and
free of obstruction at all times.

ArtixScanDI 2020 Supplement 5
Scanning Scenarios
The following pages provide various scenarios for scanning with theArtixScanDI
2020,includingthefollowing:
• Scanning a single-sheet document. This scenario can also be your first scan in
order to familiarize yourself with scanning basics.
• Scanning a stack of documents. This scenario utilizes the ADF to scan a stack of
documents.
• Scanning multiple scan frames. This scenario lets you scan as many scan frames
as you wish and set as many different scan frame attributes as you require. The
sample scenario uses a document with mixed text and pictures to illustrate the
creation of a main scan frame along with other subframes.
• Scanning for archiving. This scenario utilizes theADF to scan documents for
archiving.
• Scanning for copying. This scenario utilizes the ADF to send documents to your
printer.
• Scanning for OCR. This scenario utilizes the OCR function to scan a text
document and convert it to a fully editable text file.

ArtixScanDI 2020 Supplement 9
Before you use the ADF extensively, you may wish to use the “Preview” feature
Previewing can be useful to see if the physical mechanism in your ADF is working properly in
conjunction with the ScanWizardDI scanning software. Previewing requires only the use of a single
sheet of paper (with some text or material on it). Once the paper-scanning mechanism is established
and verified, you can then proceed to use the ADF extensively and with assurance.
To do the preview, follow the steps below:
1. Load a piece of paper from the paper stack into the ADF’s Document Feed Tray.
2. Click the Preview button to perform a preliminary view of the entire image. When done, a preview
image appears in the preview window.
At this moment, the previewed page is delivered to the document tray from the ADF's Document Feed
Tray. Load the previewed page, along with the paper stack to be scanned, on the ADF's Document Feed
Tray. You are now ready to scan.
5. If necessary, adjust image quality by using the image correction tools.
6. Click the Scan or Scan To button to start multiple, automatic scanning.
If ScanWizardDI is launched from an image-editing program, the scanned image is
delivered after the scan to your application, where the image can be saved,
printed, or modified further.
If ScanWizardDI is launched as a stand-alone program, the scanned image can
be saved after the scan to a file, opened in an image-editing program, or sent to
a printer.
Note: After you click the Scan or Scan To button, the stack of papers to be
scanned moves automatically to the correct position in preparation for
scanning to take place.

Care and Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance from theArtixScanDI 2020, it is important to clean
several critical parts of the scanner on a regular basis.
Cleaning the Scanner Glass Surface
Lift theADF, then use a soft, non-abrasive and lint-free cloth to gently wipe the rear
and front glass surface areas on the scanner flatbed.
Cleaning the Mylar Cartridge
Use the same kind of cloth for cleaning the scanner glass surface to clean the black
Mylar cartridge located at the bottom of theADF.
Clean the rear and front
glass surface areas

16 ArtixScanDI 2020 Supplement
Cleaning the Rollers
Prolonged used of theADF may result in accumulation of ink and other residue on
the feeder’s rollers, affecting their efficiency. Clean the rollers periodically to maintain
performance.

Maintenance
The rubber pad and the feed-roller assembly in yourAutomatic Document Feeder
(ADF) are designed to make document feeding smooth. After usage for a period of
time, the rubber pad and feed-roller assembly may become worn, and a problem such
as a document double-feed may occur. In this case, check either the rubber pad or
the feed-roller assembly, and replace them if needed. Follow the procedure below for
replacement of the rubber pad and feed-roller assembly.
