Scan Station 730EX FAQs

The Scanner Administration application used with the Scan Station requires the Host computer to have one of the following Operating Systems and MICROSOFT .Net 4.0 Framework installed (this program will be automatically installed if not detected).

• WINDOWS 10
• WINDOWS 8
• WINDOWS 7

You must have administrative rights to install the application on the Host computer.

• Verify that you have administrative rights and the administrator password. (Right-click on the installer file, select Run as Administrator, then follow the prompts.)
• Check your anti-virus software; this software may block an application from running.

Job settings are modified using the Scanner Administration Application. After a Job has been defined and the configuration has been uploaded to the Scan Station, only the Jobs screen will display on the Scan Station (the normal user interface will not display)

You can access the manual mode after you remove all entries for Jobs in the configuration file (using the Scanner Administration Application). Or, you can also access the manual mode after inserting a USB drive that contains the configuration file (kss.xml). The configuration file can be exported from the Scanner Administration Application and must be named “kss.xml”. This file must also be located at the root (top) level of the USB drive.

You do not need a computer to use the Scan Station; however, you need a computer to create a configuration file, and to install and use the Scanner Administration application. There are two methods for configuring the Scan Station:

• Using the Scanner Administration application from a Host (remote) computer
• Copying the configuration file (kss.xml) to a USB drive, and inserting the USB drive into the Scan Station. The configuration file can be exported from the Scanner Administration Application and must be named “kss.xml”. This file must also be located at the root (top) level of the USB drive.

Yes, the Scan Station 700 series has four USB ports and one Ethernet port. The USB ports are used for storing files to a thumb drive, accessing administrator settings, configuring the Scan Station, and connecting a USB Keyboard.

There are two ways to find this information:

• On the Scan Station, touch the icon.
• On the Host computer, open the Scanner Administration application. Select the scanner from the grid and click the icon.

The Jobs mode lets you set up a combination of predefined scan settings, destinations, and groups of users. A job displays as a button on the Scan Station user interface and provides one-touch scanning. After you set up a Job (or Jobs), only the Job button(s) display on the Scan Station.

The Scanner Administration application lets you create configuration files, and communicates with Scan Station devices on the network; this application minimizes the need for individual access to multiple Scan Stations. You need to install the Scanner Administration application on the host computer to set up and work with the Scan Station. The following tabs are available in the application:

• Scanner – lets you monitor Scan Stations that are discovered and configured, upload configuration files, update device information, and obtain log files from a specific Scan Station.
• Configuration – lets you create and modify configuration files. After you have created a minimum of one configuration file, this screen will display a list of all of your configuration files.

The Scan Station supports the following languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish-International, Portuguese-Brazilian, Dutch, Czech, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Greek, Romanian, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese-Simplified, and Chinese-Traditional.

1. Wipe the upper and lower imaging area using a Staticide wipe. Be careful not to scratch the imaging area when cleaning.

IMPORTANT: 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 MSDS for more information.

2. Wipe the upper and lower imaging area again using the reusable optics cleaner pad to remove any streaks.

3. When finished, close the Scan Station cover with both hands

1. Open the Scan Station cover. 

2. With a roller cleaning pad, wipe the feed rollers from side to side. Rotate the feed rollers to clean the entire surface. 

IMPORTANT: The roller cleaning pad contains sodium lauryl ether sulfate which can cause eye irritation. Wash your hands with soap and water after performing maintenance procedures. Refer to the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for more information. 

3. Dry the rollers with a lint-free cloth.

NOTE: The paper present sensor is located to the left of the feed module. Be careful not to damage the paper present sensor when removing or cleaning around the feed module. 

1. Pull against the raised edge of the feed module cover and lift it up and out of position. 

2. Rotate the feed module forward and push it to the left to lift it out of position.

 If you are replacing the feed module, insert the new feed module by aligning the pins and pushing it toward the left to fit it into position. Be sure the gears are aligned and it snaps into place, then go to Step 8. 

If you are replacing the tires, continue with Step 3. 

3. Remove one core assembly by lifting up and out of position. 

4. Remove each tire by sliding the tire off the core.

5. Install each new tire by gently pulling it over the core. IMPORTANT:Do not overstretch the tire; it may tear.

6. Replace the core assembly in the feed module. You may need to slide the shaft to the right or left so the core fits properly within the feed module housing. 

7. Repeat the replacement procedure outlined above for the other core assembly. 

8. Reinstall the feed module by aligning the pins and pushing it toward the left to fit it into position. 

9. Reinstall the feed module cover by aligning the tabs in the slots and pushing the feed module cover down until it snaps into place.
