Selectable processes The following processes can be set with the application for both the multi feed models and single feed models.
Chapter 1 Product Overview Sensors There are 7 paper sensors, 2 cover open sensors, and 5 other sensors. Some scanners are not equipped with some of them depending on the model. F I L KJ E D G M N C B A 1 H Paper feed direction Note: The illustration shows the multi feed model. Paper Sensors ASF/SF sensor (A) This sensor is located in the feeder paper path. It detects when a document is in the ASF/SF. When the sensor detects a document, the DOCUMENT LED lights if scanning is possible.
Eject sensor (E) This sensor is located in the feeder paper path. It detects whether a document is properly ejected and stored in a pocket. Main pocket nearly full sensor (F) This sensor is located in the Main pocket. It detects whether documents stored in the pocket need to be removed. • The sensor detects the nearly full status when the thickness of the documents in the Main pocket exceeds the specified value (80 or more of documents whose thickness is 0.13 mm without folds, wrinkles, or roughness).
Chapter 1 Product Overview Other Sensors Franking cartridge sensor (J) This sensor detects whether the franking cartridge is installed or not. Franking cartridge position sensor (K) The franking cartridge is installed in the franking cartridge holder, and the franking operation is achieved by a motor driving the cartridge holder. The scanner has a franking cartridge sensor for detecting the position of the cartridge holder.
Maintenance Counter The TM-S1000 has the maintenance counter to get the following counts.
Chapter 1 Product Overview Error Status There are two possible error types: recoverable errors and unrecoverable errors. Recoverable Errors Processing is no longer possible when recoverable errors occur. They can be recovered easily by turning the power off and then on again or sending an error recovery command from the driver after eliminating the cause of the error. Error LED flash code Error Error description Approx.320 ms Recovery measure Approx.
Error LED flash code Error Error description Approx.320 ms Recovery measure Approx.5120ms Paper jam error • After initialization, paper detected before the CIS. Remove the paper and call BiCancelError of the TM-S1000 API or turn off/on the power. • Paper jam. (Paper length sensor, middle sensor, franking sensor, or ejection sensors detected paper feed error.) Remove the jammed paper and call BiCancelError of the TM-S1000 API or turn off/on the power. • ASF/SF failed in feeding paper.
Chapter 1 Product Overview Unrecoverable Errors Processing is no longer possible when unrecoverable errors occur. The scanner must be repaired. Turn off the power immediately when unrecoverable errors occur.

Chapter 1 Handling Handling This chapter describes basic handling of the scanner. Turning On/Off Press the power switch to turn the scanner on or off. Power switch 4 Power switch cover If the power switch cover is attached over the power switch, insert a pointed object into one of the holes of the cover to press the switch.
Opening the Covers Do not open the covers during processing. Otherwise a scanning error, a MICR error, or a paper jam may result. Opening the Scanner Cover Pull the scanner cover open lever to open the scanner cover. Open the scanner cover when you clean the glass of the scanner (See "Cleaning the Image Scanner" on page 55.) or remove jammed paper. (See "Removing a Paper Jam" on page 57.) Do not touch the glass areas of the scanner inside the scanner cover with your bare hands.
Chapter 1 Handling Opening the Franker Cover Pull the franker cover open lever to open the franker lever. Open the franker cover when you replace the franking cartridge with new one (See "Installing and Replacing the Franking Cartridge" on page 48.) or remove jammed paper. (See "Removing a Paper Jam" on page 57.
Franking Cartridge Important Notes on the Franking Cartridge • Keep the franking cartridges out of the reach of children. • Do not disassemble franking cartridges. • Be careful during handling because the ink can permanently stain clothing. • Seiko Epson recommends using genuine Epson cartridges for your scanner. Products of other manufacturers may adversely affect the scanner and printing quality, and may result in the scanner not being able to achieve the specified performance levels.
Chapter 1 Handling 3 4 Carefully insert a new franking cartridge from the top, and push it firmly but gently until it clicks in place. Close the franker cover firmly until it clicks in place.
Pulling Out the Guides Pocket guide ASF/SF guide Pocket Guide Be sure to pull out the pocket guide far enough to accommodate the documents stored in the guide before using the scanner. Otherwise a paper jam may occur. ASF/SF Guide Feeding paper using the ASF/SF guide allows you to insert documents straight. Pull out the ASF/SF guide if necessary.
Chapter 1 Handling Processing Documents The TM-S1000 is capable of performing the following four actions on a document in a single pass: scanning the image of both the face and the back, reading magnetic characters, and franking. Flow of Single Pass Processing 4 2 5 3 1 1 Insert a document into the feeder section. (See "Inserting Checks" on page 52.) 2 The scanner scans the images of the face and back. 3 The scanner reads the magnetic characters on the document.
Inserting Checks For the multi feed models, you can put up to 100 documents in the ASF to be fed automatically. For the single feed models, put documents in the SF one by one to be fed automatically. For multi feed models 1 Align the documents neatly on the bottom-right corner as shown in the picture below so that they will be fed one by one. If the documents are inserted without being aligned, they may not be fed at all, or a paper jam or incorrect feeding of multiple documents may result.
Chapter 1 Handling For single feed models 1 Insert a document straight with its face (the side on which magnetic characters are printed) facing outside into the SF, as shown in the picture below. • Do not put more than one document in the SF. Otherwise, a paper jam or incorrect feeding of multiple documents may result. • Be sure to let go of the document before the scanner starts feeding. Otherwise, there may be a paper skew, paper jam, or MICR reading error.
Ejecting Checks When the documents are ejected, remove the documents. Do not leave more than the specified number of documents in the pockets while processing documents (Main pocket: 100 sheets, sub pocket: 50 sheets). Otherwise, a paper jam may occur. Sub pocket Main pocket • Some documents may be ejected into the sub pocket depending on your application. (Except for the one pocket model) • Buzzer may sound to notify errors depending on your application.
Chapter 1 Handling Cleaning Cleaning the Image Scanner If the glass of the scanner gets soiled from ink or paper dust, the quality of the image data may deteriorate. Clean the glass every 6 months or every 100,000 passes. Follow these steps to clean the glass. 1 2 Open the scanner cover. (See "Opening the Scanner Cover" on page 46.) Lightly wipe the glass areas shown in the picture below with a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning the MICR Unit Dirt on the MICR unit may cause frequent magnetic character reading errors. Clean the MICR unit every 6 months or every 100,000 passes. Use the self-test tool in the CD-ROM included with the scanner or your application to clean the MICR unit. Use KIC Products "Waffletechnology cleaning card (Part No. KW2663-CS1B15WS EPSON CAPTURE ONE WAFFLE WS CLEANING CARDS 15/BOX)." CAUTION • Do not use sticky cleaning sheets. They may cause a paper jam or machine failure.
Chapter 1 Handling Removing a Paper Jam Open the scanner cover or franker cover to remove the jammed paper. (See "Opening the Scanner Cover" on page 46 and "Opening the Franker Cover" on page 47.) Preparing for Transport Follow the steps below to transport the scanner. 1 Turn off the scanner. 2 Confirm that 3 Remove the power supply connector. 4 Store the pocket guide and the ASF/SF guide inside the scanner. 5 Pack the scanner upright. POWER LED is off.
