Loading paper is a little less intuitive than you might expect, too. This means there’s quite a bit of friction between each new sheet feeding out and the ones already resting on the tray, which leads to scruffy spreads of paper. Paper feeds from the rear to the front of the scanner in a similar way to many inkjet printers, though it makes a fairly sharp turn out of the bottom of the scanner and onto the output tray. Set up is pretty straightforward after you’ve clipped in the input and output trays. At the back are sockets for the external, black-block power supply, a pity this couldn’t be internal, and USB, to connect to a local PC. The final button on the front panel, more of a catch, releases the scan head, which swings forward in case of paper jams, though we had no problems with jams during our review. There are just two buttons on the front panel, one to start a scan and the other, linked to a seven segment number display, providing ‘SmartTouch’ facilities – described further on. It has a conventional design for this type of scanner, with a near-vertical tray at the rear and a near-horizontal one at the front. Kodak’s ScanMate i1120 is a mid-range business scanner, rated at 20ppm and duplex, capable of scanning both sides of the paper in a single pass. They have no glass flatbed, but instead work by feeding single sheets through at high speed, for archival and Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Sheet feed business scanners lead a very different life from their home and photography counterparts.
