High Speed Color Scanner  
						

							Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic High Speed Color Scanner.
Feature Highlights Superior Paper Feeding
•This scanner features
 an advance paper feeding mechanism that monitors the condition of the document
and adjusts the pressure of the rollers accordingly. As a result, this scanner can scan a wide range of paper
weights, from very thin 20 g/m² (5 lbs.) paper to very thick 209 g/m² (56 lbs.) paper.
High-speed Double Sided Scanning
• This scanner can scan documents at high speed, regardless of the resolution (200 dpi / 300 dpi) or color
mode (monochrome / color).
Single sided: 80 pages/minute, double sided: 160 images/minute ( KV-S4085CL / KV-S4085CW)
Single sided: 60 pages/minute, double sided: 120 images/minute ( KV-S4065CL / KV-S4065CW)
* Speeds based on scanning A4 size paper in portrait orientation.
Support for High-efficiency Scanning Jobs
• This scanner has a Stapled document detection function, which can automatically detect stapled
documents and try to stop scanning before any damage is caused to the scanner.
• This scanner is equipped with 3 ultrasonic sensors that can be turn on and off independently. They are in
3 different locations (left, center and right), which can detect a variety of double feeds.
(KV-S4065CL / KV-S4065CW: 1 location)
Other Features
• You can select between the front exit and rear exit (straight path) for the paper exit path. By using the
straight path, you can scan long sheets of paper or thick sheets of paper.
• You can set the left and right document guides independently. By doing so, you can reliably scan
documents of differing paper sizes.
• The paper feed path can be opened widely to easily removed jammed paper and perform maintenance. 2 Operating Manual

							For Your Safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this
section carefully before
 using the unit to ensure proper
and safe operation of your unit.
• This section explains the graphic symbols used
in this manual. Denotes a potential
hazard that could re-
sult in serious

 injury or
death. Denotes hazards that
could result in minor
injury or damage to
the unit.
These symbols are used to
alert operators to a specific
operating procedure that
must be performed carefully.
These symbols are used to
alert operators to a specific
operating procedure that
must not be performed.
These symbols are used to
alert operators to a specific
operating procedure that
must be emphasized

 in order
to operate the unit safely. For Users
Power and Ground Connection
The power source voltage of this unit is lis-
ted on the nameplate.
Only plug the

 unit into an AC outlet with the
proper voltage.
If you use a cord with an unspecified cur-
rent rating, the unit or plug may emit smoke
or become hot to the touch. When you operate this product, the power
outlet should be

 near the product and easily
accessible. To ensure safe operation, the power cord
supplied must be inserted into a standard
three-prong AC outlet which is effectively
grounded (earthed) through

 the normal wir-
ing. The fact that the equipment operates sat-
isfactorily does not imply that the power
point is grounded

 (earthed) and that the in-
stallation is completely safe. For your safe-
ty, if in any doubt about the effective
grounding (earthing) of the power point,
consult a qualified electrician. If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to re-
place the AC outlet with a properly groun-
ded (earthed) one.
Do not defeat the grounding (earthing) plug
(ex. do not use a conversion plug).
Plug the power cord firmly into an AC out-
let. Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric
shock.
Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe
the power cord, and plug.
Damage to the power cord or plug can
cause fire or electric shock.
8 Operating Manual
Before You Start
Before You StartWARNING CAUTION    WARNING          
						

							Do not attempt to repair the power cord, or
plug. If the power cord or plug is damaged
or frayed, contact an authorized service
representative for a replacement.
Ensure that the plug connection is free of
dust. In a
 damp environment, a contamina-
ted connector can draw a significant
amount of current that can generate heat,
and eventually cause fire if left unattended
over an extended period of time. Never touch the plug with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if the unit emits
smoke, excessive heat,

 abnormal smell, or
unusual noise. These conditions can cause
fire or electric shock. Immediately turn the
unit off, and unplug the power cord, and
contact your dealer for service. When disconnecting the unit, grasp the
plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord
forcibly can damage it, and cause fire or
electric shock.
Operating Safeguards If metal fragments or water gets into the
unit, turn the unit off, and unplug the unit
immediately. Contact your dealer for serv-
ice. Operating the contaminated unit can
cause fire or electric shock.
Do not open covers, and do not attempt to
repair the unit

 yourself. Contact your dealer
for service. Do not alter the unit or modify any parts.
Alteration or modification can cause fire or
electric shock.
During thunderstorms, do not touch the unit
and plug. It may cause an electric shock. Do not place the separation rollers or paper
feed rollers where

 small children can reach
them. There is a danger that the rollers may
be swallowed. In the event that you think
they have been swallowed, contact a doc-
tor immediately.
Roller Cleaning Paper Do not drink or inhale the roller cleaning
paper fluid including isopropyl alcohol.
The roller cleaning paper may be harmful
to sensitive skin. Please use protective
gloves.
Do not use the roller cleaning paper near a
heater or open flame.
Power
The unit should be used only with the pow-
er cord enclosed with the unit.
When the unit is not used over an extended
period of time,

 switch it off, and unplug it. If
an unused unit is left connected to a power
source for a long period, degraded insula-
tion may cause electric shock, current leak-
age, or fire. Operating Manual 9 Before You Start             CAUTION    
						

							Installation and Relocation
Do not position the unit in a location where
it is unstable.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not ex-
pose this unit to rain or any type of mois-
ture.
Do not place the unit in a hot humid or dusty
environment.
Prolonged exposure to
 these adverse con-
ditions may cause fire or electric shock. Do not block the air vents. Doing so can
cause heat to build up, and may result in
fire.
When moving the unit, be sure to unplug
the power cord from the AC outlet. If the
unit is moved

 with the power cord attached,
it can cause damage to the cord which
could result in fire or electric shock. Do not use the hopper hanging out of a ta-
ble.
When carrying the unit, do not use the hop-
per as handles.
Move this unit with two persons, and hold it
by both side grips. Dropping the unit can
cause injury and damage to the unit. Operating Safeguards
If the unit falls down or gets damaged, turn
the unit off, and unplug the power cord.
Otherwise, it may cause fire or electric
shock.
Do not place any liquids or heavy items on
the unit.
Accidental spillage of liquid into the unit
may cause severe damage. If this occurs,
turn the unit

 off, unplug the power cord, and
contact your dealer for service. Do not touch the image sensor covers or
their surroundings immediately after con-
tinuous scanning.
This area is

 very hot and can cause burns. When wiping the rollers (A) and lower-sec-
tion image sensor cover, make sure to
close the straight path tray.
If the straight path tray is open, touching the
notched section can cause injury.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers when
closing the front door. It can cause injury.
