ColorPage-EP Flatbed Color Scanner User's Guide
Scan Modes The digitized images output from the scanner contain up to 600 dots per inch of information from the original document. Dots can be represented by a single bit indicating black or white, by an 8-bit code indicating any one of 256 levels of gray, or by a 24-bit code indicating any one of over 16 million colors. The ColorPage-EP flatbed color scanner has these scanning modes: Single-bit mode
This mode lets you scan black-and-white material in line art or halftone mode. Line art is solid black and white, while halftone creates the illusion of gray with a pattern of black dots.
8-bit gray mode
This mode uses eight bits to represent the shading of the original document with up to 256 levels of gray.
24-bit (8-bit x 3) color mode
This mode reproduces any of 16.7 million colors. 24-bit color is achieved by using a piece of color CCD in combination with a daylight fluorescent lamp.
Error Detection and Self-test The ColorPage-EP flatbed color scanner features powerful error detection and self-diagnostic functions for maximum operating convenience.
Application Programs In your ColorPage-EP flatbed color scanner package, you will find a bundled software program for scanning your documents. To install application program, refer to the Genius ColorPage-EP Installation Guide.

Operating the Scanner You need to install your scanner by performing the procedures we have discussed in the previous chapters. If your scanner is already installed, install scanner software that came with your scanner. Before doing it, refer to Genius ColorPage-EP Installation Guide, all of the information required to complete the software installation is here. This chapter shows you how to operate the scanner. You will learn the following: • • •
Performing the power-on self-test Positioning a document Starting to scan
Performing the Power-on Test The power-on test is a quick self-checking mechanism that the scanner carries out after you turn it on. This is what happens after the scanner is turned on: 1. READY indicator on the front panel of the scanner flashes briefly. After a 30-second warm-up period, the scanner carries out a self-test, with the scanner carriage moving back and forth about a half-inch. If no problems are detected, the READY indicator stays lit. Note: If there are problems with the READY indicator, see the Troubleshooting chapter of the manual. 3. The fluorescent lamp inside the scanner should be on too by this time. The lamp should never go off while the scanner is on. Note: If the scanner lamp doesn't come on, starts to flicker, or gets dim, see the section Lamp and Fuse Replacement in Chapter 5.
Basic Operating Procedures
13
Positioning a Document 1. Lift the document cover. 2. Place your document face down on the scanner glass. The top left corner of the document (when the document is held upright for normal reading) should be at the “0,0� position on the ruler guides running along side the scanner.
(0,0)
Scanning Thick Documents 1. Lift the scanner cover high enough so that there is enough room to place the document on the scanner glass. 2. Lower the scanner cover. You are now ready to start scanning.
14
ColorPage-EP Flatbed Color Scanner User's Guide

Troubleshooting When the scanner is turned on, the READY indicator should flash. The lamp will come on and should stay on all the time. A few seconds later, after the scanner’s self-test is completed, the READY indicator should shine steadily. Problems can usually be detected when the power is first turned on. This chapter concerns the most common problems and their solutions. ♦ POWER indicator fails to light up Turn the power switch off. Make sure that the scanner’s power cord is grounded and plugged into an AC outlet. Then, try turning on the power again. If the scanner indicator still fails to light up even when the scanner is plugged into an outlet which have been confirmed to have power, it’s likely that the fuse needs to be replaced. ♦ POWER indicator lights up but READY indicator fails to stop flashing This can be caused by • a faulty indicator • a faulty or loose lamp • detection of a malfunction during the scanner’s power-on selftest Try issuing the command to begin scanning; the software may report the solution to you.
Troubleshooting
21
♦ POWER and READY indicators light up but software returns “Scanner not ready” or similar message Make sure that both the Genius Scan Module and 25-to-25 pin cable have been set up properly. Note: There are no user serviceable ports in the scanner. Any repairs, including replacement of the fuse or lamp, must be made by a service technician. Call Genius for assistance.
