Adjusting the input and output trays
The input and output trays may be adjusted to fit different document sizes. The input and output trays also may be folded flat up against the scanner to save space when the scanner is not in use.
To fold the scanner trays:
???Grasp the input tray/output tray and lift it up until it rests against the scanner front/back.
???The output tray also has two document stops that can be raised to accommodate the collection of small documents after they have been scanned.
???The input tray has side guides that allow you to adjust the feeder to fit different document sizes. Grasp the side guides and slide them in or out to the desired position.
Adjusting the output tray The output tray has three possible positions.
???Set the output tray to the lowest position when you are scanning long documents.
???Set the output tray to the middle position when you are scanning letter- or
???Set the output tray to the highest position with the first document stop raised when you are scanning checks and small documents (less than 10.2 cm/4 inches).
???Use the highest position with the second document stop raised when you are scanning documents that are 14 cm/5.5 inches long.
To adjust the output tray:
1.Grasp the tray on each side.
2.Lift the tray up and move it up or down to the desired position.
Start and stop scanning
Document preparation
Before you start scanning, make sure the scanner is on and ready for operation, which is indicated by the green indicator light being on and constant.
Scanning is controlled by application software designed to capture images. To start and stop scanning, refer to the documentation provided with your application software.
???A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered in the input tray; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a time.
???Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the scanner and documents.
???Documents should be in good condition.
???Torn, damaged or crushed pages can be transported successfully through the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every possible type of damaged paper. If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document can be transported through the scanner, place the document in a clear protective sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded edge first, while lifting the gap release lever.
NOTE: You also can use the optional Kodak i1400 Series A3 Flatbed to scan.
???When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the input tray guides must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.

4 Image Processing
Overview
Terminology and features
Starting the Scan
Validation Tool
This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to some users. The Kodak i1400 Series Scanners provide the ability to process scanned images to improve their quality. Using these features the scanner can sometimes make the scanned image look better than the original document. Basic image processing concepts are reviewed in this chapter to help you take advantage of these features.
Image processing refers to several separate features of the scanner that allow you to automatically adjust each image in a certain way that may improve the resulting images. Common examples of image processing features are correcting any skew in the fed document, cutting the edges of the image off to remove any unneeded border or cleaning up extraneous ???noise??? on the image. This can be done automatically so you can get better images with minor rework.
The information that follows describes the image processing features. The same options should be available on the user interface of the scanning application you are using (i.e., Kodak Capture Software).
If you have used previous scanners from Kodak, you may be familiar with the image processing features already. With the new graphical user interface in the TWAIN datasource, some of the names of those features have changed. Refer to Appendix B, TWAIN Image Processing Terminology for a cross reference of previous names with new names.
1.Select Start>Programs>Kodak>Document Imaging>Scan Validation Tool.
2.Select TWAIN (or ISIS) for the Driver Type and the Kodak Scanner i1410/i1420/i1440 Scanner as the driver.
The Scan Validation Tool dialog box will be displayed.
The Scan Validation Tool dialog box
The Scan Validation Tool (SVT) is a diagnostic application provided by Kodak. The SVT user interface allows access to all the features of the scanner and is a good way to verify that the scanner is working properly. The Scan Validation Tool allows you to verify scanner functionality using both the TWAIN datasource and the ISIS driver.
Toolbar buttons
Setup ??? displays the user interface for the selected driver.
Destination ??? allows you to select a directory to store scanned images and their file names. This option is only available when
Save Images to Files is selected.
Start Scanning ??? scans the documents in the input tray.
Scan One Page ??? scans only one page.
Stop Scanning ??? ends the scan session.
License Key ??? displays the License Key window
No Image Display mode ??? closes the Image Viewer window (no images will be displayed).

???To access the TWAIN datasource (or ISIS driver),
Last File ??? displays the full path and file name for the last stored image.
Using the TWAIN datasource
How do I begin?
The Kodak i1400 Series Scanners can provide a wide variety of electronic images. This can be done by using the TWAIN datasource Kodak provides in concert with your scanning application. The TWAIN datasource is the part of the capture system which links the scanner to your scanning application.
When using the TWAIN datasource, the main Kodak Scanner window will display a list of Setting Shortcuts. Each Setting Shortcut is a group of specific image and device settings. The supplied Setting Shortcuts represent some common electronic image outputs used for a wide variety of input documents. If none of the Setting Shortcuts meet your scanning needs, you can create a customized Setting Shortcut. For example, you could create a Setting Shortcut called ???Invoices??? and whenever you want to scan invoices, you simply select that Setting Shortcut. For more information, refer to the sections entitled, ???Creating a new Setting Shortcut??? and ???Changing image settings??? later in this chapter.
For the purpose of this manual, all displayed dialog boxes assume the features available on the Kodak i1420 and i1440 Scanners (duplex scanner). If you have a Kodak i1410 Scanner (simplex scanner) all options are limited to
The goal is to make scanning as simple as possible. This is accomplished by selecting a Setting Shortcut from the main Kodak Scanner window and then selecting OK/Scan.
The scanner comes with some Setting Shortcuts already defined. In most cases, you will find that these shortcuts are all you will need. If you find that you need different settings, then you should create your own Setting Shortcut. Your shortcut will be added to the list of Setting Shortcuts and available for all future scanning.
Most of the options you will want to set are available on these two windows:
???Image Settings: clicking the Settings button on the main Kodak Scanner window, displays the Image Settings window. From this window you can set your image processing parameters by using the General, Size, Adjustments and Enhancements tab. You can also access the Device settings, by clicking the Device button or the Advanced settings by clicking the Advanced Image Setup icon.
???Device Settings: the Device button is located on the Image Settings window. When you select Device, you will have access to the General and Multifeed tabs (and Printer tab if you have the document printer installed). From the Device Settings window, you can also access Diagnostics.
Selecting Image settings
The procedures that follow describe how to configure a customized Setting Shortcut. Complete descriptions of the features and options on the Kodak Scanner window and tabs are found in the section entitled, ???The main Kodak Scanner window???.
NOTE: Setting Shortcuts can sometimes be overridden by your scanning application. If this happens, the shortcut you call will appear in the main Kodak Scanner window in italics with the word <Changed> next to it. This is normal behavior for an application that does not use Setting Shortcuts and downloads its preferred individual settings to the scanner first and then provides access to the TWAIN datasource.
When you click OK to begin scanning, you will be asked if you want to save the changed settings. When using an application that does not use Setting Shortcuts, select No to this prompt and continue scanning.
From the main Kodak Scanner window:
1.Select a predefined Setting Shortcut from the Setting Shortcuts list. Choose a Setting Shortcut that describes as closely as possible the image output you desire.
2.Determine if you want to capture an electronic image of the front of your document, back of your document or both sides of your document and make the selection from the Input document is drop- down list. Options are:
???Two Sided ??? captures both sides of the document
???One
???One
3.Place one or two representative documents in the input tray of the scanner.
NOTE: When scanning one side of a document or if you are using an i1410 Scanner, be sure to place the side of the document to be scanned facing the input tray.
4.If you want to see what your selected image processing options will look like and make
NOTE: This only needs to be done if you want to make interactive adjustments to your selected image processing options.
5.If you are satisfied with your selected image processing options, reload your document if necessary and click OK/Scan.
???If the images are acceptable, the image processing settings are fine and you do not need to click the Settings button to alter any values in the General, Size, Adjustments or Enhancements tabs.
???If the images are not acceptable, you can either select a different predefined Setting Shortcut that more closely describes your desired output or you can continue to work with the Setting Shortcut you have selected by reviewing each setting on the General, Size, Adjustments and Enhancements tabs and make the appropriate changes. When you make any changes, repeat Steps 3 - 5 to until you get the desired results.
6.If you made any changes to a predefined default Setting Shortcut, click Save As on the main Kodak Scanner window. The Save As dialog box will be displayed.
7.Enter a new Setting Shortcut name that is meaningful to you and click Save. You have now created and saved a custom Setting Shortcut which can be used for your scanning operations.
Selecting Device settings
1.Select the Setting Shortcut that you just created.
2.Select Settings to access the Image Settings window.
3.Select Device. The Device Settings window will be displayed.
4.Before making any adjustments, click through the tabs on the Device Settings window to get familiar with features that are available. See the section entitled, ???The Device Settings window??? for information about these features.
5.Determine which features you want to use when scanning and select the appropriate tab.
6.On each tab, select the appropriate options or action you want the scanner to perform.
7.When finished:

Using the ISIS Driver
The main ISIS Driver window
The ISIS Driver is software that communicates with the scanner. This driver is created and maintained by EMC Captiva and is provided with the scanner by Kodak. Many scanning applications support ISIS drivers and this driver can be used to interface with them.
This section provides descriptions of the options on the tabs of the main ISIS Driver window and how to set these options.
For the purpose of this manual, all displayed windows assume the features available on the Kodak i1420/i1440 Scanners. If you have a Kodak i1410 Scanner, all options are limited to
See the section entitled, ???Starting the Scan Validation Tool??? earlier in this chapter to access the main ISIS Driver window.
The main ISIS Driver window provides a set of 9 tabs. You can select each of these tabs and make any choices necessary to meet your scanning needs. The buttons on the bottom of the window apply to all the tabs.
Default ??? when you select Default, the values will be reset to the factory defaults.
Copy ??? this function is only available when scanning
OK ??? saves the values set on all tabs.
Cancel ??? closes the window without saving any changes.
Image Mode
Camera ??? the selections in the Camera box list the available sides (front and back) of an image where you can define individual image processing values. Options include: Front Image #1, Front Image #2, Back Image #1 and Back Image #2.
The Kodak Scanner drivers allow you to control the camera settings independently. Some settings apply only to black and white images, others apply to color/grayscale images. By selecting the appropriate camera and image mode, you can control the scanner???s output.
Mode
???Black and white: if you want your electronic image to represent all elements of your document in black and white.
???Grayscale: if you want your electronic image to have a range of varying shades of gray from black to white.
???Color: if you want your electronic image to be in color.
???Auto Detect Grayscale: sets auto color detect for grayscale. See the section entitled, ???Auto Color Detect tab??? for more information.
???Auto Detect Color: sets auto color detect for color. See the section entitled, ???Auto Color Detect tab??? for more information.
Dots per inch (dpi) or resolution ??? indicates the scanning resolution, which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater the resolution, the better the reproduction. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size.
Choose a resolution value from the
Cropping ??? allows you to capture a portion of the document being scanned. All cropping options can be used with color/grayscale and black and white images. Front and Back cropping are independent, however, for dual stream scanning, color/grayscale and black and white cropping must be the same per side. Only one cropping option can be assigned per image.
???Automatic: dynamically adjusts the cropping window for different document sizes based on the edges of the image.
???Aggressive: eliminates any residual black border on any image edges. In order to achieve this, there is a possibility that a small amount of image data from the edge of the document may be lost.
???Fixed to Transport: (used for batches of
???Relative to Document: (zone processing): (used for batches of
This option may be used in conjunction with Automatic cropping where a separate color/grayscale or black and white area to be saved is desired. It is useful in applications where a photograph, signature, embossment or seal appears in a consistent area for an application (you may want that small area in color/grayscale and the rest in black and white). To define a zone, select the Layout tab.
Binarization ??? these options work on grayscale images and outputs a black and white electronic image. Their strength lies in the ability to separate the foreground information from the background information even when the background color or shading varies, and the foreground information varies in color quality and darkness. Different types of documents may be scanned using the same image processing parameters and results in excellent scanned images.
???iThresholding: allows the scanner to dynamically evaluate each document to determine the optimal threshold value to produce the highest quality image. This allows scanning of mixed document sets with varying quality (i.e., faint text, shaded backgrounds, color backgrounds) to be scanned using a single setting thus reducing the need for document sorting. When using iThresholding, only Contrast can be adjusted.
???Fixed Processing (FP): used for black and white and other high contrast documents. If Fixed Processing is selected, only Brightness can be adjusted.
???Adaptive Thresholding (ATP): separates the foreground information in an image (i.e., text, graphics, lines, etc.) from the background information (i.e., white or
Brightness ??? changes the amount of white in the color and grayscale image. Use the slider to select a value from 0 to 255. The default is 90.
Contrast ??? adjusts the difference between black and white, thereby making an image sharper or softer.
The difference between black and white is small with a low contrast setting, so the image is softer. With a high contrast setting, the difference between black and white is large, so the image is clearer. Select a contrast value from 1 to 100. The default is 50.
Page Orientation ??? allows you to select the way you place your documents in the scanner, Top first, Bottom first, Left first or Right first. When using the Kodak i1400 Series Scanners, select Top first.
Image Orientation
???Automatic: if you select Automatic, the Page Orientation options are not available.
???Portrait: displays the image orientation in the shape of a conventional portrait, where height is greater than width.
???Landscape: displays the image orientation in the shape of a conventional landscape painting, where width is greater than height.
Page Size ??? the default page size is set when a scanner is first selected. You can choose a different page size using the
Scan Area ??? displays the Scan Area dialog box. The Scan Area options are only available for images when the cropping option is Fixed to Transport or Relative to Document. See the section entitled ???The Scan Area dialog box??? later in the chapter for more information.

???Halftone Removal ??? enhances images containing dot matrix text and/or images with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens and effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone screen.
???Invert Image ??? allows you to select how the black pixels will be stored in the image. By default the black pixels are stored as black and the white pixels are stored as white. Turn this option on if you want the black pixels stored as white and the white pixels stored as black.
NOTE: You may want to change this option if your application misinterprets the image data and stores your image in reverse of what you expect.
???Add Border ??? allows you to add a fixed amount of border to the left, right, top and bottom edge of the image.
Noise Filter
???(none)
???Lone Pixel: reduces random noise by converting a single black pixel to white when it is completely surrounded by white pixels or by converting a single white pixel to black when it is completely surrounded by black pixels.
???Majority Rule: sets each pixel based on its surrounding pixels. The pixel will become white if the majority of the surrounding pixels are white and visa versa.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group) Quality ??? if you choose JPEG compression, select one of the quality options:
???Draft: maximum compression which produces the smallest image size.
???Good: a fair amount of compression but still produces acceptable image quality.
???Better: some compression which produces decent image quality.

5 Document Printing
This chapter provides instructions for using the Document Printer and the Enhanced Printer. The following information and procedures can be found in this guide:
???Printer specifications.
???Changing print positions.
???Replacing the ink cartridge and ink blotter strips.
NOTE: Information about enabling printing and setting up print strings can be found in Chapter 4, Image Processing.
The Document Printer/Enhanced Printer operates at full scanner speed. The printer can add a date, time, document sequential counter, and custom messages.
The print string can be configured to include both literal (static) information (i.e., information that stays the same for each document, such as batch name or operator) and dynamic information (i.e., information that may change for each page scanned, such as the document sequential counter). The capture software application controls static fields; any information that the software allows you to enter can be sent to the printer.
All printer controls and functions are accessible through the ISIS Driver or TWAIN Datasource. Printing must be enabled or disabled for each scan session, which is usually done by using a Setting Shortcut (TWAIN GUI).
NOTES:
???Clean the scanner???s paper path components daily when using the printer.
