Safety
User Precautions
• Place the scanner on a sturdy, level work surface capable of supporting 20.4 kg (45 lbs) and leave adequate clearance on all
sides of the scanner.
• Do not install the scanner in a location subject to dust, humidity or steam. This may cause electrical shock or a fire. Only use
the scanner indoors in a dry location.
• Make sure the electrical power outlet is located within 1.52 meters (5 feet) of the scanner and is easily accessible.
• When disconnecting equipment from the electric socket, be sure to grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Be sure the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause electrical shock or fire.
• Do not damage, knot, cut or modify the power cord or use a damaged power cord. This may cause electrical shock or fire.
• The scanner requires a dedicated and properly grounded power outlet. Do not use an extension cord or power strip with the
scanner.
• Leave sufficient space around the power outlet so it can be easily unplugged in case of an emergency.
• Do not disassemble, service or modify the scanner except as explained in the User’s Guide.
• Do not move the scanner with the power cord and interface cable attached. This may cause damage to the cord/cable.
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet before moving or relocating the scanner.
• Follow the Kodak Alaris recommended cleaning procedures. Do not use air, liquid or gas spray cleaners. These cleaners
displace dust, dirt and debris to other locations within the scanner, which may cause the scanner to malfunction.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemical products are available on the Kodak Alaris website at:
www.kodakalaris.com/en-us/about/ehs. When accessing the MSDSs from the website, you will be required to provide the
catalog number of the consumable you want the Material Safety Data Sheet for. See the section entitled, “Supplies and
consumables” later in this guide for supplies and catalog numbers.
Users and their employers need to observe the common sense precautions applicable to the operation of any machinery. These
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not wear loose clothing, unbuttoned sleeves, etc.
• Do not wear loose jewelry, bracelets, bulky rings, long necklaces, etc.
• Hair length should be kept short, using a hair net if needed, or tying long hair up in a bundle.
• Remove all other loose objects from the area that could be drawn into the machine.
• Take sufficient breaks to maintain mental alertness.
• Use only the recommended cleaning supplies.
• Do not use canned/compressed air.
Supervisors should review their employee practices and make compliance with these precautions a part of the job description
for operation of the scanner or any mechanical device.

12 A-61771 September 2016
Getting your documents ready to scan
• Standard paper size documents feed easily through the scanner. When
organizing your documents for scanning, stack the documents so the lead
edges are aligned and centered in the input tray. This allows the feeder to
introduce documents into the scanner one at a time.
• Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. Staples and paper clips
on documents may damage the scanner and documents.
• All inks and correction fluids on the paper must be dry before scanning is
started.
• 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, you can use the flatbed or place the
document in a clear protective sleeve and use the rear document exit.
Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded edge first, when using
the gap release or the rear document exit.
4. Place the documents you want to scan in the input tray. If you are scanning
one-sided documents, be sure the side you want to scan is facing up.
NOTE: Some very thick and/or stiff documents; such as shipping envelopes,
may require the following:
• Use the flatbed or rear document exit.
• Use of the gap release.
• Scanning at 400 dpi or more to reduce the scanner transport
speed.
5. When 1 - Color PDF is displayed on the operator control panel, press the
Start/Resume/Pause button.

the Scan button is pressed, the scanner will only scan from the input tray. To
scan from the flatbed, the Scan button will need to be pressed again.
• When scanning a document/book from the flatbed, be sure the flatbed cover
is closed. The cover will automatically adjust to the thickness of the
document/book.
• When placing the document/book on the flatbed, the document may extend
all the way to the edge of the flatbed. However, the flatbed will only scan any
information that is aligned with the line on the frame of the flatbed glass.
• The white background on the flatbed cover must be clean and smooth. If
there are any imperfections, it may affect auto crop performance.
A-61771 September 2016 19
Using the rear
document exit
Documents that require special handling (i.e., fragile documents, shipping
envelopes, etc.) can be output using the rear document exit. This exit provides
the straight-through paper path option that allows an exception document to
pass through the transport, thus reducing the possibility of a document jam.
To use the rear document exit, lift the rear document exit lever up.
Use the rear document exit when:
• documents are too stiff (e.g., rigid) to make the turn in the transport and are
jamming (U9 is being displayed on the operator control panel).
• documents are fragile and you do not want to bend them.
• output stacking order is not important.
• scanning directly into the recycle bin when documents are no longer needed
after scanning.
• scanning photographs.
NOTES:
• Be sure to lower the rear document exit lever into it’s original position when
finished.
• Be sure that you have adequate clearance behind the scanner to feed the
document(s) through when using this option.
• When scanning several documents through the rear document exit, the
documents will be output in the reverse scanning order.
• When using the rear document exit, you cannot use the document printing
option.
20 A-61771 September 2016

5 Maintenance
This chapter describes the required cleaning and maintenance procedures for
the Kodak i3200/i3250/i3300/i3400/i3450/i3500 Scanner. The frequency of
these procedures will vary with different scanning environments, paper types
and image processing requirements. High volumes of scanning will demand
more frequent cleaning of the scanner and more frequent replacement of
consumables. Years of production scanning experience proves that properly
cleaning and maintaining your scanner will result in scanning more paper in
less time with less issues. A properly maintained Kodak i3200/i3250/i3300/
i3400/i3450/i3500 Scanner will provide years of trouble-free operation.
Scanner consumables (tires, pre-separation pads, etc.) and cleaning supplies
are available from resellers and web merchants. Consumables are sold in kits.
The kits contain the proper mix of tires, rollers, and pre-separation pads so you
can easily replace them at the recommended rate. For example, only replacing
the tires and never replacing the separation roller will eventually minimize
scanner performance. Replacing the consumables at the recommended
frequency will ensure the best performance.
Cleaning tools and
materials
Use only these cleaning tools and materials when performing routine
maintenance on your scanner. Use of any other cleaning materials could
damage your scanner.
•Kodak Digital Science Transport Cleaning Sheets
•Kodak Digital Science Roller Cleaning Pads
• Staticide wipes for Kodak Scanners
• A vacuum cleaner and tools
Optionally:
• Brillianize Detailer wipes
• Lint-free cloth

scanner cover with both hands.
A-61771 September 2016 29
Cleaning procedures Cleaning your scanner and performing preventative maintenance on a regular
basis is required to ensure the best possible image quality.
Some document types generate more paper dust and debris and may require
more frequent cleaning.
Before cleaning your scanner or replacing consumables, review the following
information:
• Some debris from the rubber tires on the feed module and separation roller
is normal. Tire debris does not always mean that the tires are worn or
damaged. After cleaning, inspect the tires for wear and replace the
separation roller, feed module or tires if necessary.
• When cleaning rollers/tires, allow the rollers/tires to dry completely before
scanning.
• Use only the recommended cleaning supplies. Using unapproved cleaning
fluids or solvents may damage the rubber tires.
• Do not use cleaners in confined areas, use with adequate ventilation.
• Do not use cleaners on hot surfaces. Allow surfaces to cool to ambient
temperature before cleaning.
• Do not use canned/compressed air. Use of compressed air may cause
dust to be forced into the scanner’s imaging system and lodge in an area
that causes image quality issues and cannot be cleaned without removing
the camera.
• Do not use flammable compressed aerosols on or around the scanner.
• In addition to the recommended cleaning supplies, you may use a vacuum
cleaner to remove debris from the scanner.
• Staticide wipes contain isopropanol which can cause eye irritation and dry
skin. Wash your hands with soap and water after performing maintenance
procedures. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for more
information. The MSDS is available on the Kodak Alaris website at
www.kodakalaris.com/go/MSDS.
NOTE: To access the MSDS, you will need to provide the catalog number
of the supply. See “Supplies and consumables” on page 39 for
catalog numbers.
• The roller cleaning pad contains sodium lauryl ether sulfate and sodium
silicate which can cause eye irritation. Refer to the MSDS for more
information.

Kodak Alaris’ Limited Warranty does not apply to a Kodak Scanner that has been subjected to physical damage after purchase,
caused, for example, by casualty, accident, acts of God or transportation, including (a) by a failure to properly package and ship
the Scanner back to Kodak Alaris for warranty service in accordance with Kodak Alaris’ then current Packaging and Shipping
Guidelines, including failure to replace the shipping restraint prior to shipping, or by a failure to remove the shipping restraint
prior to use; (b) resulting from the user’s installation, system integration, programming, re-installation of user operating systems

How to obtain Limited Warranty service
Kodak Scanners are supplied with information on unpacking, setup, installation and operation. Careful reading of the User’s
Guide will answer most of the technical questions the end user might have regarding proper installation, operation and
maintenance of the product. However, should additional technical support be required, you may visit our website at:
www.kodakalaris.com/go/IMsupport or contact: Kodak Alaris’ Response Center: (800) 822-1414
The Response Center is available Monday – Friday (excluding Kodak Alaris holidays) 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
Before placing the call, the eligible purchaser should have the Kodak Scanner model number, part number, serial number and
proof of purchase available. The eligible purchaser should also be prepared to provide a description of the problem.
Response Center personnel will assist the end user in resolving the problem over the phone. The end user may be asked to run
some simple, self-diagnostic tests and report the resulting status and error code messages. This will assist the Response
Center in determining if the problem is the Kodak Scanner or another component and if the problem can be resolved over the
phone. If the Response Center determines a hardware problem exists that is covered either under the Limited Warranty or a
purchased Maintenance Agreement, a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA) will be assigned as needed, a service
request will be initiated and repair or replacement procedures will follow.
Packaging and shipping guidelines
Purchaser must ship all warranty returns in a method that guarantees full protection of the product from shipping damage.
Failure to do so will void the Kodak Scanner warranty. Kodak Alaris advises the purchaser to keep the original box and packing
materials for storing or shipping. Kodak Alaris is not responsible for issues related to shipping damage. The purchaser must
return only the Kodak Scanner. Prior to shipment, purchaser must remove and retain all “add-on” items, (i.e. adapters, cables,
software, manuals, etc.). Kodak Alaris accepts no responsibility for these items and they will not be returned with the repaired or
replacement Kodak Scanner. All products should be returned to Kodak Alaris in the original shipping container, or an authorized
packaging box for the units being returned. Purchaser must install the shipping restraint before the Kodak Scanner is shipped.
When the original packaging is not available, contact Kodak Alaris’ Response Center at (800) 822-1414 for part numbers and
replacement packaging ordering information.
Return procedure
Eligible purchasers seeking services for Kodak Scanners covered under this Limited Warranty must obtain a Return Material
Authorization number (“RMA”) by calling (800) 822-1414 and within ten (10) business days from the date of issuance of the
RMA must return the Kodak Scanner to the address designated in the RMA at the end user’s own expense and risk, in
compliance with Kodak Alaris’ current Packaging and Shipping Guidelines.
Any defective products or parts replaced by Kodak Alaris become the property of Kodak Alaris.
Customer responsibility
BY REQUESTING SERVICE, THE ELIGIBLE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THE TERMS OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY,
INCLUDING THE DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS. PRIOR TO SEEKING SERVICE, THE END
USER MUST BACK-UP ANY DATA OR FILES THAT MAY BECOME DAMAGED OR LOST. KODAK ALARIS IS, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR DAMAGED DATA OR FILES.
Warranty Service descriptions
Kodak Alaris offers a range of service programs to support its Limited Warranty and to assist with the use and care of the Kodak
Scanner (“Service Methods”). A Kodak Scanner represents an important investment. Kodak Scanners provide the productivity
needed to stay competitive. The sudden loss of this productivity, even temporarily, could seriously affect the ability to meet
commitments. Downtime can be very expensive, not just in the cost of the repair but also in time lost. To help alleviate these
problems, Kodak Alaris may use one of the service methods listed below, depending upon product type, in providing service
under its Limited Warranty.
Included with selected Kodak Scanners is a Limited Warranty Registration card and a Limited Warranty Summary card. The
Limited Warranty Summary card is specific by model. The Limited Warranty Summary card contains important warranty
information, including the model number and the Limited Warranty. Refer to the Limited Warranty Summary card to determine
the available Service Methods applicable to the particular Kodak Scanner.
If the Limited Warranty Registration card or Limited Warranty Summary card cannot be located, additional information may be
obtained about the product, including updated warranty and service program information and restrictions, online at
www.kodakalaris.com/go/IMsupport.
To avoid service delays, Kodak Alaris urges end users to complete and return the enclosed Limited Warranty Registration Card
at the first opportunity. If you cannot locate the Limited Warranty Registration card, you may register online at
www.kodakalaris.com/go/IMsupport.
Kodak Alaris also provides a variety of service programs that may be purchased to assist with the use and care of the Kodak
Scanner.
Kodak Alaris is committed to providing its customers with quality, performance, reliability and service under the Limited
Warranty.
A-61771 September 2016 51
We expect to have a supply of spare parts and consumables for at least 5 years after product manufacture has been
discontinued.
On-site service
For the selected Kodak Scanner, and after the Response Center verifies a hardware problem, a service call will be opened and
logged. A Kodak Alaris Field Engineer will be dispatched to the product location to perform repair service if the product is
located within the contiguous forty-eight (48) United States, in certain areas of Alaska and Hawaii, and if there are no security,
safety or physical requirements that would restrict the Field Engineer’s access to the scanner. For additional information on
service areas, visit our website at: www.kodakalaris.com/go/IM. On-Site Service will be provided between the hours of 8 a.m.
and 5 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday (excluding Kodak Alaris holidays).
Advanced Unit Replacement (AUR)
AUR may be one of the easiest and most comprehensive service offerings in the industry. In the unlikely event of a product
defect, for eligible purchasers of certain Kodak Scanners, Kodak Alaris will replace that product within two business days.
The AUR provides advance replacement on specific failed or broken Kodak Scanner. To be eligible to take advantage of the
AUR, the eligible purchaser must obtain an RMA number, sign an Advance Replacement Agreement and provide a credit card
deposit to secure the replacement product. The RMA number should be kept in the event that the status of the replacement
product needs to be checked. The eligible purchaser will be asked for the address where the replacement product is to be
shipped. The eligible purchaser will also be faxed packing and shipping instructions for the malfunctioning product. The eligible
purchaser will then receive a replacement product within 2 business days after the service call initiation and Kodak Alaris’
receipt of the signed agreement. The malfunctioning product must be received by Kodak Alaris within ten (10) days of the end
user’s receipt of the replacement product or the end user’s credit card will be charged the list price of the replacement product.
Shipment of replacement Imaging Product will be made at Kodak Alaris’ expense and choice of freight carrier. Shipments not
made under Kodak Alaris’ directions and choice of freight carrier may void the Limited Warranty.
Before the product is returned to Kodak Alaris, be sure to remove all options and accessories (which include power cord,
documentation, etc.) that are not covered by the Limited Warranty. The box and packaging in which the replacement product
was shipped must be used to return the malfunctioning product. If the malfunctioning product is not returned in the box and
packaging in which the replacement product was shipped the Limited Warranty may be voided. The Return Material
Authorization Number (“RMA”) must be clearly marked on the outside of the box to ensure proper receipt and credit of the
defective product.
Depot service
If the Kodak Scanner is not eligible for AUR or On-Site Service, an eligible purchaser may utilize our Depot Repair Service. The
eligible purchaser will be instructed to ship the product to the nearest authorized Depot Repair Center. Product must be shipped
at the eligible purchaser’s risk and expense to the repair center. Before the product is returned to the repair center, be sure to
remove all options and accessories (which include power cord, documentation, etc.) not covered by the Limited Warranty. All
products should be returned to Kodak Alaris in the original shipping container, or in a recommended packing box. The Kodak
Scanner must have the shipping restraint installed before it is shipped. When the original packaging is not available, contact
Kodak Alaris’ Response Center at (800) 822-1414, for ordering information. Eligible purchasers seeking services for Kodak
Scanners must obtain a Return Material Authorization number (“RMA”) by calling (800) 822-1414, and within ten (10) business
days from the date of issuance of the RMA must return the Kodak Scanner to the address designated in the RMA at the end
user’s own expense and risk. The Return Material Authorization Number (“RMA”) must be clearly marked on the outside of the
box to ensure proper receipt and credit of the defective product.
Upon receipt of the product, the repair center will repair product within ten (10) business days. The repaired product will be
shipped back two-day express mail at no expense to the eligible purchaser.
Important restrictions
Eligibility: The Advance Exchange Program and the Depot Service are available to eligible purchasers in the fifty (50) United
States, and On-Site Service is available in the contiguous forty-eight (48) states and in certain areas of Alaska and Hawaii for
products purchased from authorized distributors of Kodak Alaris. The Kodak Scanner will be ineligible for any service under
warranty if the product falls under any of Kodak Alaris’ then-current Warranty Exclusions, including a purchaser’s failure to
return defective products to Kodak Alaris in compliance with Kodak Alaris’ then current Packaging and Shipping Guidelines.
Persons are only considered “eligible purchasers” or “end users” if they originally purchased the Kodak Scanner for their own
personal or business use, and not for resale.
Consumables: Consumables are items that wear out under normal use and must be replaced by the end user as needed.
Consumables, supplies, other expendable items and those items identified as being the user’s responsibility in the User’s Guide
are not covered under the Limited Warranty.
Any defective products or parts replaced by Kodak Alaris become the property of Kodak Alaris.
