77 More Advanced Scanning Methods (Batch Separation) Batch Separation (Insert blank page) Recognizes blank pages as batch separators and performs batch separation (automatic file separation) when documents containing blank pages are scanned. On the [Others] tab of the ISIS driver properties, select [Blank Page] from the Batch Separation dropdown list. IMPORTANT When [Simplex] is selected in [Scanning Side], blank pages on the scanned side will be recognized as separators. When [Duplex], [Skip blank page], or [Folio] is selected in [Scanning Side], document pages will be recognized as separators when both sides of a page are blank. Images of pages recog nized as separators will not be saved. Batch Separation By tucking patchcode sheets supplied with this scanner into a document and scanning it, the scanner can automatically separate files by images of documents containing patchcode sheets (or documents after the patchcode sheet). Hint This function can be used with the supplied CapturePerfect software. Other applications that support this function include ISIS- compatible applications. It is not supported by TWAIN-compatible applications. Patchodes are included with this product in PDF format. Applications that can read PDF files such as the supplied CapturePerfect are required to use this function. The following patchcodes are installed together with the scanner driver as PDF files. The following operations are performed when using patchcodes for scanning. Ty p e o f PatchcodePattern Description PAT C H ( F I L E A )Files are separated from the page after the page printed with this patchcode. You specify in the application whether to include the page printed with the patchcode in the scanned image. PATCH II (FILE B)Files are separated from the page printed with this patchcode. The page with the printed patchcode is always included in the scanned image.
78 1Print patchcode with a printer. Click [Start] – [All Programs] – [Canon DR-M160] and then select [Patchcode] from the menu. Patchcodes can be printed in A4 and letter (LTR) sizes. Open the application and print a patchcode that is the same size as the document to be scanned. Hint In Windows 8.1/8, it is registered at the following location. IMPORTANT Patchcodes must be printed in their normal size. If patchcodes are enlarged or reduced, they may not be recognized correctly. When copying provided patchcodes to create different sized patchcodes, ensure that the patchcode fits inside the effective range shown in the following diagram. Also, when copying patchcodes, ensure that they are the same size and shade as the original. Keep the patchcode sheet clean. Take particular care to keep the patchcode detection range area clean. Also, do not bend, fold or crease the sheet. Patchcode (effective range for detecting patchcodes) 5 mm (0.2) 5 mm (0.2) 5 mm (0.2) 94 mm (3.7)
79 2Place the documents in the scanner after inserting the patchcode sheet in front of the page that separates the files.3In an application, specify a patchcode as a type of batch separation. When using CapturePerfect, select [Patchcode] in the [Batch Separator] settings. When using other ISIS-compatible applications, open the scanner driver settings screen and select [Patchcode] in [Batch Separation] on the [Others] tab. Insert the patchcode sheets at the beginning of documents to change file separation.
80 Maintenance Daily Maintenance Clean the scanner on a regular basis, as described below, to maintain peak scanning quality. CAUTION When cleaning the scanner and the inside of the scanner, turn OFF the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Do not use spray cleaners to clean the scanner. Precision mechanisms, such as the light source, may get wet, and cause a malfunction. Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to clean the scanner. The exterior of the scanner may become deformed, discolored, or melted. It may also cause a fire or electric shock. Cleaning the Scanner To clean the outside of the scanner, wipe off any dirt with a cloth that has been dampened with water and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe the scanner dry with a clean dry cloth. Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner Dust or paper particles inside the scanner may cause lines or smudges to appear on scanned images. Use compressed air to periodically clean dust and paper particles from the document feed opening and the inside of the scanner. After finishing a large scanning job, turn OFF the scanner and then clean out any paper particles remaining inside the scanner. Cleaning the Sensor Glass and the Rollers If scanned images contain streaks, or if the scanned documents become dirty, the sensor glass or rollers inside the scanner may be dirty. Clean them periodically. 1Open the document eject tray.
