The Scanner Interface
The scanner unit is installed in the left side of your machine (as shown in the il-
lustrations) The scanner unit connects to a computer through a 50–pin half –
pitch (pin type) SCSI connector.

Requirements
In order to use your machine as a scanner, the following hardware/software is
required in the computer that will be connected to the scanner. Make sure that
all the necessary hardware and software is in place before attempting to scan.
❖
❖❖
❖
CPU
Intel®Pentium 75MHz or better.
❖
❖❖
❖
OS
Windows®95/98/3.11, Windows NT®3.51, or NT®4.0.
❖
❖❖
❖
Memory
16MB or more (for scanning).
48MB recommended.
❖
❖❖
❖
Hard disk
100MB or more of free disk space recommended. Approximately 16MB of
space is required to save one page of an A4 monochrome image scanned at
400dpi with a 256–value gray scale.
❖
❖❖
❖
SCSI board
Use a SCSI board recommended by the local dealer. The system may not op-
erate properly with some SCSI boards.
❖
❖❖
❖
SCSI interface cable
Use a SCSI interface cable recommended by the local dealer. The type of SCSI
interface cable required depends on the SCSI board that is installed in the
computer.

Connecting to the Computer
The scanner unit uses SCSI-2 interface to connect to the computer.
Important
❒Do not daisy chain other SCSI devices with the scanner.
❒The scanner might not operate properly with some SCSI boards (installed in
the computer).
❒Since the scanner unit has a built-in terminator, no terminator needs to be
connected to the scanner. A terminator is only required at the other end of the
connection (i.e.,on the SCSI board in the personal computer).
Making the connection
ATurn the computer off.
BMake sure that none of the other functions are in use, and then turn off the
main power switch of the machine.
CConnect the 50–pin half-pitch (pin type) end of the SCSI interface cable to
the SCSI connector on the machine.
DConnect the other end of the SCSI interface cable to the computer.
Setting the SCSI ID
The SCSI ID for the scanner is initially set to “4”. Normally, there is no need to
change this ID. If it is necessary to change this ID, follow the procedure bellow.
ATurn the computer off.
BTurn on your machine, and wait until ”Ready” appears on the panel dis-
play of the machine.

2. Setting Originals
This chapter explains how to set the originals in the machine when using it as a
scanner. The originals can be set either on the exposure glass or in the document
feeder (ADF).

Setting Originals on the Exposure Glass
The exposure glass can be used when scanning originals that cannot be set in the
document feeder (ADF), such as books or originals that have been pasted togeth-
er. For convenience, these types of originals will be referred to as “book origi-
nals.” Follow these steps to set originals on the exposure glass.
ALift the platen cover or the document feeder(ADF), and place the original
face down on the exposure glass.
1. Reference mark
Important
❒Set the original after correction fluid and ink has completely dried. Not
taking this precaution could mark the exposure glass and cause marks to
be copied.
Note
❒Set the original in the direction shown in the illustration. The direction of
resulting scan is as follows.

Setting Originals In The Document Feeder
(ADF)
You can set several pages of originals in the document feeder (ADF) at a time.
Only originals that consist of separate sheets of paper can be set in the document
feeder (ADF); for convenience, such originals will be called “sheet originals.” It
is possible to copy not only one side but both sides of originals that are set in the
document feeder (ADF).
❖
❖❖
❖
Non-recommended originals for the document feeder
Setting the following originals in the document feeder might cause paper mis-
feeds or damage to the originals. Set these originals on the exposure glass.
• Originals other than those specified in the copy reference
• Stapled or clipped originals
• Perforated or torn originals
• Curled, folded, or creased originals
• Pasted originals
• Originals with any kind of coating, such as thermal fax paper, art paper,
aluminum foil, carbon paper, or conductive paper
• Originals with indexes, tags, or other projecting parts
• Sticky originals such as translucent paper
• Thin original that has low stiffness
• Originals of inappropriate weight in the copy reference
• Bound originals such as books
• Transparent originals such as OHP transparencies or translucent paper
❖
❖❖
❖
Setting Originals In The Document Feeder
• Do not stack originals above the limit mark
• When copying thin originals (41–52g/m211–14lb), select [
DF Setting
]and
set to Thin Paper mode, or set your originals on the exposure glass to avoid
damage due to a multi-sheet feed (if several sheets are fed together at the
same time).
See”Thin Paper mode”in the copy reference.
• The original might become dirty if it is written with a pencil or similar
tools.
• For 1–sided originals, you can select the ADF tray or the ADF external tray
as an output tray
See”22.ADF Orig.Ejection”in the System Settings.
• Scanning speed might be a little reduced if the ADF tray is selected as an
output tray. (for 1–sided originals)

1-sided Scanning
ASet the originals into the document feeder (ADF) with the side to be
scanned face up.
Note
❒The sheet of the original should be ordered in the preferred page sequence.
❒To avoid a multi-sheet feed (in which the ADF feeds through more than
one sheet at a time), fan the pages of the original before setting them in the
document feeder (ADF).
