Introduction

Scanner Overview
This section explains the main features of this product, the names of parts and their functions.
Main Features
The scanner is equipped with the following features:
●High speed scanning
Realizes a scanning speed of 90 ppm/180 ipm [fi-8190/fi-8290] (*1) (*2), 70 ppm/140 ipm [fi-8170/fi-8270]
(*1), or 50 ppm/100 ipm [fi-8150/fi-8250/fi-8150U/fi-8250U] (*1). Furthermore, up to 100 sheets of
documents (*3) can be loaded for continuous scanning which enables you to quickly digitize a large volume of
documents.
●Network connection [fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270/fi-8150/fi-8250]
The scanner can be connected via a wired LAN.
Even with a network connection, the scanning speed is equivalent to that of a USB connection.
During a network communication, in order to prevent information leaks due to interception of communications,
you can encrypt scanned images.
For details, refer to the Network Setup Tool for fi Series Help or Network Settings (fi Series Network Settings)
[fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270/fi-8150/fi-8250] (page 399).
●Equipped with a Liquid Crystal Display [fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270]
The scanner mounts an LCD that displays various operational settings for scanning, number of pages scanned,
and error status.
This allows you to easily configure various operational settings for a scan or check the number of pages
scanned or the error status.
●Equipped with a Function Number Display [fi-8150/fi-8250/fi-8150U/fi-8250U]
The scanner mounts the Function Number Display that displays the error status.
This allows you to easily check the error status.
●Capable of scanning documents folded in half, envelopes, multi-layered transfer paper, and booklets such
as passports
This scanner mounts the [Manual Feed] button that is used to switch the mode to Manual Feed Mode.
Switching the mode to Manual Feed Mode reduces the load on documents being fed so that documents are fed
and scanned successfully.
●Improved efficiency for pre-scan work
The scanner can perform "mixed batch scanning" which allows you to scan documents with different paper
weights and sizes, such as A4 size wood-free paper and plastic cards, at once.
This simplifies the process of sorting the documents before scanning.
22
●Reduced work loss caused by multifeeds
The scanner has ultrasonic multifeed sensors that accurately detect "multifeed" errors where two or more sheets
are fed through the scanner at once.
This detection for overlapped documents is reliable even when scanning a mixed batch of documents with
different paper weights and sizes, such as A4 size wood-free paper and plastic cards, avoiding potential work
loss.
●Intelligent multifeed detection function
When there is paper of the same size attached to a designated location on the page, the intelligent multifeed
detection function enables the scanner to recognize the area of the attachment.
The scanner does not detect the recognized area where the attachment is on as overlapping of documents so
that scanning can continue.
●Paper protection function by detecting paper jam noise [fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270]
The scanner is equipped with a function that detects a paper jam by noise made while a document is being fed
and stops the scan.
This function reduces the risk of having valuable documents damaged.
●Paper protection function by monitoring documents that are fed skewed
The scanner is equipped with a function that detects a paper jam by the amount of skew that has occurred on a
document while it is being fed and stops the scan.
This function reduces the risk of having valuable documents damaged.
●Advanced image processing function
The scanner is equipped with a function that automatically detects whether a document is in color or
monochrome and then outputs an image of the document.
This function reduces the risk of color deviation or stripes from occurring on documents and allows you to
output highly reproducible images.
●Preventing images form missing any parts even if documents are fed skewed [fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/
fi-8270]
The scanner is equipped with a function that detects the top and bottom of a document when a document is
fed skewed and then outputs an image of the document.
This function prevents images from missing any parts even if documents are fed skewed.
●An imprinter can be installed [fi-8190/fi-8170/fi-8150/fi-8150U]
The imprinter is available as an optional imprinter that can print characters on a document after a scan.
Using an imprinter improves work efficiency in document management or in the verification of documents.
●Capable of scanning a document in a black background on the flatbed [fi-8290/fi-8270/fi-8250/fi-8250U]
A black document pad for the flatbed is available as an option.
Scanner Overview
23
Using a black document pad when scanning a document that has a white background allows you to output the
scanned image in the actual size of the document.
●Capable of scanning photographs, clippings, and documents that are too big to be loaded in the scanner
The Carrier Sheet and Photo Carrier Sheet are available as an option.
Using them allows you to scan photographs that can be damaged quite easily, clippings, or non-standard size
documents that cannot be loaded in the scanner.
●Capable of scanning a booklet such as a passport without damaging it
The Booklet Carrier Sheet is available as an option.
Even if the scanner is not equipped with the flatbed, using it allows you to open and scan a booklet such as a
passport that can be damaged quite easily.
●Centralized operation of multiple scanners [fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270/fi-8150/fi-8250]
With PaperStream NX Manager, multiple scanners can be operated together.
For example, you can specify the scanner that you want to use and specify scanning menus that are customized
for each scanner, and distribute them to the scanners.
You can also save images in a specified linked destination, and monitor the processing status of images.
For details, refer to the PaperStream NX Manager User's Guide.
The PaperStream NX Manager User's Guide can be downloaded from the following web page:
https://www.fujitsu.com/global/support/products/computing/peripheral/scanners/fi/manuals/
●Centralized management of multiple scanners
With Scanner Central Admin Server, multiple scanners can be managed together.
For example, the application can be used to update the setting information and scanner drivers for all scanners
at once, and can be used to check the operating status of each scanner.

Conditions Required to Accurately Detect Overlapped Documents (Multifeed)
Multifeed is an error that occurs when two or more sheets are overlapped and fed at once.
Overlapped documents are detected with the ultrasonic sensor or according to the difference in length of the
documents.
For documents that are loaded, the following conditions are required for overlapped documents to be detected
accurately.
Detecting Overlapped Documents with the Ultrasonic Sensor
●Paper weight: 20 to 465 g/m2 (5.3 to 124 lb)
●Do not punch holes within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of the document.
Refer to Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 124).
●Do not attach other documents with glue or other adhesive within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of
the document.
Refer to Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 124).
Detecting Overlapped Documents according to the Difference in Length
●Load the documents of the same length in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
●Variation in document lengths: 1% or less
●Do not punch holes within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of the document.
Refer to Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 124).
Detecting Overlapped Documents with the Ultrasonic Sensor and According to the Difference in Length
●Load the documents of the same length in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
●Paper weight: 20 to 465 g/m2 (5.3 to 124 lb)
●Variation in document lengths: 1% or less
●Do not punch holes within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of the document.
Refer to Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 124).
●Do not attach other documents with glue or other adhesive within 35 mm (1.38 in.) over the center of
the document.
Refer to Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 124).
ATTENTION
The above condition applies when the document is set to the center of the pick roller width.
HINT
●The accuracy of detection for overlapped documents may drop depending on the document type.
Overlapping cannot be detected for the top 30 mm (1.18 in.) of a document in the feeding direction.
●In the Software Operation Panel, you can specify an area not to detect overlapping of documents within
the area described in Fig. 1 in Area Not to Be Perforated (page 124).
For details, refer to Settings Related to the Detection for Overlapped Documents (Multifeed) (page 378).
How to Load Documents
125
●When [Standard mode] is selected for [Intelligent Multifeed Function], overlapping is not detected for a
piece of paper (80 mm (3.15 in.) or less in the feeding direction) attached on a document (such as sticky
notes).

126
Conditions for Mixed Batch Scanning
The following conditions apply when a mixed batch of documents with different paper weights/friction
coefficients/sizes is scanned.
Make sure to test a few sheets first to check if the mixed batch of documents can be fed.
For details about scanning, refer to Scanning Documents with Different Widths (page 176).
Paper Direction
Align the direction of the paper fiber with the feed direction.
Paper Weight (Thickness)
When scanning documents with different paper weight in the same batch, keep the paper weight within
the following range:
27 to 413 g/m2 (7.2 to 110 lb)
Friction Coefficient
It is recommended that the same paper brand from the same manufacturer is used for documents.
When different paper manufacturers/brands are mixed in documents to be scanned, it affects the feeding
performance as the difference in friction coefficient increases.
The following friction coefficients are recommended:
0.35 to 0.60 (reference value for paper friction coefficient)
Document Position
Load all documents covering the width of the pick roller (approx. 39 mm/1.54 in. wide).
How to Load Documents
127
For a guideline for mixed batch scanning, refer to Combinations of Standard Paper Sizes in a Mixed Batch
(page 129) in Paper Size (page 128).
HINT
When the smallest document covers the width of the pick roller even when it is loaded towards one side
as shown in the image below, load documents aligned on one side. So that it prevents documents from
skewing when being fed.
Paper Size
When a mixed batch with different sizes is scanned, not feeding the documents straight may cause
troubles such as paper jams or part of the image to appear missing.
It is recommended that you check the scanned images if the documents were fed skewed.
How to Load Documents
128
ATTENTION
●When a mixed batch with different sizes is scanned, documents are more likely to skew because the
side guides do not fit every sheet properly.
●Do not specify the detection method by document length when scanning a mixed batch of documents
with different lengths and detecting overlapped documents.
Combinations of Standard Paper Sizes in a Mixed Batch
Refer to the table below for a guideline of the range available for mixed batch scanning.

Configuring Not to Detect Certain Overlap Patterns
If detecting overlapped documents during a scan is set, when you scan a document with a paper attachment
such as a sticky note, receipt, or photo, it is detected as overlapped documents, and the scan may stop. Use the
intelligent multifeed detection function not to detect these types of documents.
This function has two modes, a mode that is used to configure the settings manually by a user every time the
scanner detects overlapped documents, and a mode that is used to configure the settings automatically by the
scanner based on the overlap patterns (length and location) for paper attachments such as sticky notes,
receipts, or photos that the scanner has memorized.
To use this setting, detecting overlapped documents needs to be set in advance.
●[Multifeed Detection] in the scanner driver
For details, refer to the help for the scanner driver.
●[Multifeed] in the Software Operation Panel
For details, refer to Specifying a Method to Detect Overlapped Documents [Multifeed] (page 378).
The following four operation modes are available.
Operation Mode Description
Standard mode Specify whether or not to detect overlapped documents every
time they are detected.
Overlapping is not detected for a piece of paper (80 mm or less
in the feeding direction) attached on a document (such as sticky
notes).
Scanning will stop immediately if overlapped documents are
detected.
Note that if the setting for stopping the scan to check images is
set to on in the scanner driver, scanning will stop after
overlapped documents are ejected.
Manual mode Specify whether or not to detect overlapped documents every
time they are detected.
Scanning will stop immediately if overlapped documents are
detected.
Various Ways to Scan
205
Operation Mode Description
Note that if the setting for stopping the scan to check images is
set to on in the scanner driver, scanning will stop after
overlapped documents are ejected.
Auto mode 1 Specify the setting not to automatically detect overlapped
documents when the paper attachment is the same length and
in the same location as memorized.
Scanning will stop after the overlapped documents are ejected.
In this operation mode, up to four overlap patterns can be
memorized at a time (when one sheet is scanned), and up to 32
overlap patterns can be memorized in total.
When the 33rd overlap pattern is detected, the first pattern that
was memorized is overwritten.
However, when turning the scanner off and on, the number of
memorized overlap patterns depends on the setting for
[Remember overlap patterns at power-off] in the Software
Operation Panel.
For details, refer to Setting to Ignore Certain Overlap Patterns
[Intelligent Multifeed Function] (page 386).
Auto mode 2 Specify the setting not to automatically detect overlapped
documents when the paper attachment is the same length or
shorter as memorized.

Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner (ADF) with a Cloth
The inside of the ADF can be cleaned with a piece of cloth moistened with Cleaner F1, or a sheet of Cleaning Wipe.
As the scanner continues to feed the documents, paper dust will accumulate inside the ADF and it may cause
problems related to scanning or affect the scanned results. Cleaning should be performed approximately every
5,000 sheets scanned. Note that this guideline varies depending on the types of documents you scan. For instance,
it may be necessary to clean the scanner more frequently when you scan documents on which the toner is not
sufficiently fused.
CAUTION
The inside of the ADF becomes very hot when the scanner is being used.
Before you start cleaning the inside of the ADF, make sure to turn off the power, unplug the
power cable and wait for at least 15 minutes for the inside of the ADF to cool down.
ATTENTION
●Do not use water or mild detergent to clean the ADF.
●It may take a long time to dry if an excessive amount of Cleaner F1 is used. Use only a small amount. Wipe off
the cleaner completely to leave no residue on the cleaned parts.
1Turn off the scanner, unplug the power cable and wait for at least 15 minutes.
For details, refer to How to Turn the Power OFF (page 73).

Notes for Distributing Assets with the Scanner Central Admin Server
This section describes notes for distributing assets such as the scanner settings and firmware to scanners that are
operated with PaperStream NX Manager by using the Scanner Central Admin Server.
For details about how to distribute assets to other scanners by using the Scanner Central Admin Server, refer to the
Scanner Central Admin User's Guide.
●Depending on the network environment, the communication between the Scanner Central Admin Server and
the scanner may fail due to the network load.
In this case, use Scanner Central Admin Console to reduce the number of scanners for which the assets are
distributed, and the maximum number of scanners which can be connected together at the same time.
For details, refer to the Scanner Central Admin User's Guide.
●Assets such as the scanner settings and firmware will be distributed and applied to scanners in the following
cases:
-When a scanner is turned on
-When an operation to log out from PaperStream NX Manager is performed
To prevent assets from being distributed or applied during working hours, secure sufficient time between the
time the scanner is turned on and the time operations begin.
In addition, Scanner Central Admin Console allows you to specify a time zone in which assets are to be
distributed.
For details, refer to the Scanner Central Admin User's Guide.
