10 Optional Imprinter Unit

10.1 Installing the Imprinter Unit and Ink Cartridge

The imprinter unit can be used to print information such as a name, the date and time, or a serial number on the document after scanning. Depending on your goals, the imprinter can be used as a pre-imprinter or a post-imprinter.

• The pre-imprinter prints onto the face of the document prior to scanning. The printed information will also appear in the scanned image.
• The post-imprinter prints onto the reverse side of the document after scanning. The printed information will not appear in the scanned image.

Notice

• Do not use the imprinter to print on water-repellent documents such as film, coated paper, some kinds of copy paper, etc. These documents repel ink, and the ink may stain the inside of the scanner (for example, the rollers). If imprinter ink has stained parts of the scanner, clean them by using the Roller cleaning paper (KV-SS03). • The imprinter unit or ink cartridge should only be inserted or removed after the power is turned off.
