Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Document Scanner.

Feature Highlights

Superior Paper Feeding

- This scanner features an advanced paper-feeding mechanism that adjusts the pressure of the rollers and the amount of time that the rollers are applied to the document according to the condition of the document. As a result, this scanner can scan a wide range of paper weights, from very thin 20 g/m² (5 lb.) paper to very thick 157 g/m² (42 lb.) paper.

High-speed Double Sided Scanning

- This scanner can scan documents at high speed, regardless of the image type (monochrome / color). Single sided: 100 pages/minute, double sided: 200 images/minute (200 dpi, 300 dpi) for KV-S5076H Single sided: 80 pages/minute, double sided: 160 images/minute (200 dpi, 300 dpi) for KV-S5046H * Speeds based on scanning A4 size paper in landscape orientation.

Support for High-efficiency Scanning Jobs

- Self-cleaning function

This scanner has self-cleaning brushes that clean paper dust off of the scanning glass. The KV-S5076H also contains an ionizer that, by emitting ions, reduces the amount of paper dust that accumulates on the scanning glass.

- Stapled document detection (KV-S5076H only)

This scanner has a stapled document detection that detects documents that contain staples and stops scanning before any serious damage occurs.

- Background color switch function

Using the software, you can switch the background color of scanned images between white and black.

• Mechanical deskew (KV-S5076H only)

In addition to adjusting skewed documents via the software (deskew), this scanner supports the mechanical deskew function that detects skew in documents before they are scanned, and adjusts the document using the feeding mechanism. With this function, you can reduce the various problems that arise from skewed documents.

- Double feed detection function

This scanner contains ultrasonic sensors that detect double feeding. Double feeding can be detected even if you scan documents that contain paper of various thicknesses.

- Double Feed Skip (DFS) function

If scanning has been stopped because a double feed was detected, you can easily resume scanning by pressing the Skip button (SKIP). When you scan documents that include items that you do not want to be detected as double feeding (for example, documents that have receipts attached, envelopes, etc.), the double feed detection function can be enabled and still scan these documents.

Other Features

- You can set the left and right document guides independently. By doing so, you can reliably scan documents of differing paper sizes.

- The paper feed path can be opened widely to easily remove jammed paper and perform maintenance.

- This scanner has a counter function which indicates the approximate time for cleaning and replacement of the rollers. The counters can be configured and checked in User Utility.

Notice

  • When scanning a document manually (Manual), feed the document 1 sheet at a time.
  • When scanning important documents or bound documents, feed them manually.

Note

- When scanning a document manually (Manual), the double feed detection function is disabled.

When Scanning Documents with Pages of Different Sizes at One Time

When scanning documents with pages of different sizes at one time, please note the following.

  • Align the document pages along one side.
  • Align the document position so that the center of the smallest sheet will be fed to the center of the paper feed roller, and adjust the document guides accordingly.
  • Exiting sheets may become out of order on the exit tray. Documents may need to be reordered after they are scanned.
  • Slide the document guides selector in the direction shown in the illustration until the ◀ (①) and ● (②) marks are aligned.

- The left and right document guides can be moved separately.

("350,000 sheets" is based on scanning normal paper. Depending on the type of paper and other factors, the actual lifetime for the rollers will differ.) In User Utility, you can check the number of sheets that have been scanned.

Replacing the Rollers

If double feeding or paper jam occurs frequently even after cleaning the roller (page 56), please call your dealer to order a "Roller exchange kit (KV-SS060)", and replace the paper feed roller module and double feed prevention roller.

  1. Press and hold the power button for one second or more to turn off the unit's power.

Shading Adjustment

About shading adjustment

The shading adjustment function corrects variations in the lamp intensity and pixel sensor sensitivity, and reduces unevenness in density in scanned images. It can be carried out by means of the User Utility using the special shading paper, which is provided with this scanner.

When shading adjustment is required

Perform shading adjustment when the density and brightness of sections of scanned images is considerably uneven, or when image quality does not improve after cleaning the inside of the scanner.

Before proceeding with the shading adjustment

Before beginning shading adjustment, thoroughly clean the scanning glass (F), scanning glass (B), conveyors in the scanning area, self-cleaning brushes, ion outlets, and all rollers. If you perform shading adjustment while these parts are dirty, lines will appear on scanned images.

Shading adjustment procedure

  1. Start the User Utility.
  2. Click [User Shading...] on the main menu, and operate as the image display dictates.

Note

- For further details, refer to section "[User Shading]" in the help for User Utility.

Notice

- If the shading adjustment has not been performed properly, then lines might appear on scanned images even after adjusting the shading or lines might not be eliminated even after cleaning the scanning glass. Clean the parts, and then adjust the shading again.
