Chapter 2: Scanner Basics
Document Preparation
34 Scantron
i
NSIGHT 20 Scanner
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner for
document imaging must be arranged so the leading
edges of all documents are aligned and centered in the
input tray; this allows the feeder to introduce
documents into the scanner one at a time.
• Paper Types: The iNSIGHT 20 moves paper very
well and will handle virtually any type of paper that is
not abrasive or excessively stiff.
NOTE:
Chemically coated papers may cause more rapid
wear/swelling of the tires.
• Paper Inks: All inks on the paper must be dry before
scanning is started. This includes: standard offset
printing, inkjet printer, thermal transfer, handwriting
inks.
• Correction Fluids: Liquid Paper
®
, Tipp-Ex
®
, Wite-
out
®
, and other similar correction fluids must be dry
before scanning is started. If not fully dry, correction
fluid can get on the imaging guides and cause errors.
• Paper Weights: 9 lb. bond to 110 lb. index (34 to
200 g/m
2
kg)
• Minimum Document Size: 2.5" x 2" (6.4 x 5.1 cm)
• Maximum Document Size: 8.5" x 34"
(21.6 x 86.0 cm)
Damaged Documents
Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported
successfully through the scanner. However, no scanner
can transport every possible type of damaged paper.
• If in doubt about whether a specific damaged
document can be transported through the scanner,
place the document in a clear protective sleeve.
Sleeved documents should be manually fed, one at a
time, while lifting the gap release lever. (Do not use
protective sheets for data collection scanning.)
• When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve,
the input tray guides must be adjusted to
accommodate the width of the sleeve.
