WARNING:

Your warranty will be voided if you scan documents with staples, paper clips, or thick plastic documents like credit cards. Feeding these items may cause scratches on the CIS glasses resulting in permanent vertical streaks in the image.

KODAK Sidekick 1400U - Paper weight: - 2

CAUTION:

If you scan other types of documents, paper jamming or multiple-sheet feeding may occur.

  • Scanning paper such as carbon or carbonless paper may cause skewing, paper jamming or multiple-sheet feeding because it makes the rollers dirty and chemicals can cause rollers to swell.
  • The quantity of documents in the feeder should not exceed the limit mark on the document guide. This may cause a paper jam or skew.
  • Be sure to remove the documents from the exit tray after they are scanned.
  • When you scan an irregular or fragile document, you should make a copy and then scan the copy.
  • When scanning a curled or folded document, flatten the document before feeding it.

Clearing Paper Jams

Torn documents, thin documents or creased documents may cause paper jams. If a paper jam occurs, remove the jammed sheet according to the following procedure.

Removing paper jams from the feeder

1 Push the ADF door release button to open the ADF door.

Stop/Start button operation

The scanner Stop/Start Button has different functions depending on the mode of operation.

Emergency Stop mode (default)

If the scanner is running and feeding paper, press the blue Stop/Start button to immediately stop the paper in the scanner. This is the default mode of operation.

Follow the Clearing Paper Jams steps to remove the paper jammed in the scanner.

KODAK Sidekick 1400U - Stop/Start button operation - 1

text_image Stop/Start Button

Start Feed mode

See Wait for Start button mode description page 32.

Multifeed Ignore (1400u Only)

When double feed detect is set to stop(the default setting) you can enable the Multifeed Ignore Functionality

Multifeed Ignore enables you to allow a single page to go through the scanner without having the scanner stop for a multifeed condition. Multifeed Ignore can be used with envelopes, documents with attached notes, documents with photographs or any other document that is comprised of two overlapping items. The Multifeed Ignore function works for only the top document in the scanned batch, once the scanner has been set up for Multifeed Ignore. If you require multiple documents to go through the scanner that will trigger the scanner to stop because of a multifeed, consider modifying the multifeed settings. Refer to "Detect Double Feed" for instructions on how to do this.

If a multifeed error occurs, remove the document from the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) by opening the ADF or by pressing the STOP/START button.

Press and hold the STOP/START button for 2 seconds until the LED light alternates between green and orange. When this occurs, the scanner is in Multifeed Ignore mode. Re-insert the document in which you want to ignore the multifeed on top of the document stack and place on the ADF.

Either re-initiate the scan within your scanning software, or the scanner will automatically begin scanning again.

KODAK Sidekick 1400U - Stop/Start button operation - 2

NOTE:

The Multifeed Ignore function only works for one document at a time. Once a document goes through, the scanner will stop if a new multifeed condition occurs.

To clear the Multifeed Ignore feature, open either the imprinter door, the top of the ADF or the bottom of the ADF

Feed Modes

If the Scan Application (such as Capio™) supports the Advanced Scanner Settings, the scanner can be configured in either Automatic, Manual or Wait for Start feed modes via operator selection of the Advanced Settings - Manual Feed Mode.

KODAK Sidekick 1400U - Feed Modes - 1

OK Cancel Default Image Options □ Deskew □ Black Border Removal □ Fit to Page □ Length Control □ Detect Double Feed Drop Out Color ○ Front ○ Back None Manual Feed Mode Off Timeout (s): 300 Manual Feed Mode

Automatic Document Feeding -Default mode-

Set Manual feed Mode selection to Off.

Load the documents in the scanner and click the Start Batch button (or button with similar name) in the Scan Application to start scanning the batch of document from the application. The scanner paper feed rollers will automatically start and stop to feed the documents in the scanner. This is the standard mode of operation.

Manual Feed

Set Manual feed Mode selection to On.

Click the Start Batch button (or button with similar name) in the Scan Application and start feeding manually the batch of documents one by one in the feed rollers. As the lead edge of a document comes close to the feed rollers, the paper feed rollers will automatically start and feed the document in the scanner.

Use this mode when feeding mixed document types that are difficult to separate and typically cause multi-feed problems.

Wait for Start to Feed

Set Manual feed Mode selection to Start Button.

In this mode, the operator can manually control the START and the STOP of a batch using the Stop/Start button.

① Click the Start Batch button (or button with similar name) in the Scan Application. Note that the scanner will not start feeding as it is waiting for the Start button.
② Load document(s) under the paper feed roller.
③ Press the Stop/Start button to START scanning.

The scanner will start scanning and will continue till the feeder is empty or till the operator presses the Start/Stop key to STOP the batch.

④ During the Scan operation, press the Stop/Start button to STOP scanning. This is not an emergency stop as the scanner will first complete scanning the document then stop prior feeding the next document.

The operator now manually controls the scanner START and STOP document feed operation. Continue between steps 2, 3 and 4 till you need to close your batch with the Scan Application.

Detect Double Feed (1400u Only)

This function detects the feeding of more than one sheet at a time. If a double feed is detected, you can opt to be notified. The default setting for this function is stop.

→ NOTE:

With this function, ultrasonic waves are aimed at the document to detect double feed by the level at which the waves pass through the sheets. The function can detect double feed even when sheets are superimposed exactly on top of each other, but it may not be detected properly with some paper thicknesses and when creasing and other factors are present.

When important documents are to be scanned, check the number of document sheets and the number of scanned image sheets.

When scanning a document containing paper in different sizes, double feed can be detected when this function is selected.

The default for Detect Double Feed is ON.

  1. Navigate to your scanning application and select Settings.
  2. Click the More button in the Settings dialog box.
  3. Select the Detect Double Feed button in the Feeding Features section of the Advanced Settings dialog box.
  4. If the Detect Double Feed function operates incorrectly, adjust the sensitivity level by selecting one of the levels in the Sensitivity drop-down list.
HighSelect this when feeding thin documents.
NormalThis is the standard sensitivity.
LowSelect this when feeding thick documents.
  1. Select one of the following from the Action drop-down list:

Stop ScanningStops the scanning process for operator attention. This is the default setting.

If a Multifeed occurs, remove the document from the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder). For instructions on removing papers jams, refer to Clearing Paper Jams Either separate the multifed pages and/or reinsert the document(s) into the ADF and press the STOP/START button to resume scanning.

Troubleshooting Operations

If a problem still occurs after you checked the Status Message and Error code (previous table), please check the following items. If the scanner still malfunctions, turn it OFF, unplug the power cord and call for service.

Symptom Possible Cause Remedy
The LED does not light when the power switch is turned ON.(1) Power cord is not plugged in.(2) Problem with power supply.(1)Insert the power plug firmly.See page 18.(2) Disconnect the scanner from the electric outlet and call for service.
The computer does not recognize the scanner.(1) Scanner is not connected to the computer correctly.(2) Scanner is not properly configured via “Found New hardware”.(1)Connect the cablescorrectly. See page 18.(2) Uninstall the scanner from PC. Register the scanner hardware again. (Refer to the Initial Setup and Installationsection. See page 18.
USB connectionThe USB interface of the computer is not installed correctly.Check your computer USB interface and see if it is configured via Device Manager's properties.
The scanner is connected via USB hub.Do not connect via USB hub.
The USB cable does not have a High-Speed logo..Use the cable provided with the Sidekick scanner.
