3 Using the Scanner

Turning the scanner on and off

This chapter provides procedures for:

???Turning the scanner power on and off

???Adjusting the input and output trays

???Preparing your documents for scanning

???Verifying your scanning installation

???Scanning documents: automatic feeding, manual feeding and continuous feeding

???Turn the power on to the scanner.

After you turn on the scanner, wait for it to complete the self-test. When completed, the green indicator light will remain on and constant.

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 A4-size documents.

???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 only a few documents from one batch remain in the feeder, place the next batch face down on top of those documents.

Follow the guidelines for document size, type, weight, quantity, etc. Position the documents face down with the leading edge centered in the automatic document feeder, then start scanning.

You can scan torn or fragile documents through the automatic document feeder if they are placed in a protective plastic sleeve.

1.Position the sleeve face down, folded edge first, and centered in the automatic document feeder.

2.Lift the gap release lever, if necessary (this provides more clearance to ease document feeding).

3.Start scanning.

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).

One Image Display mode ??? displays one image at a time.

Two Image Display mode ??? displays two images at a time.

Four Image Display mode ??? displays four images at a time.

Eight Image Display mode ??? displays eight images at a time.

Save Images to Files ??? when selected, will save the images to the specified directory.

Display Every ??? enter the sampling rate of the images you want to display while scanning. For example, to see every image, enter a value

of 1. To see every 10th image, enter a value of 10.

Total ??? displays the total number of images scanned during the current Scan Validation Tool session.

???To access the TWAIN datasource (or ISIS driver), double-click the Setup icon on the Scan Validation Tool dialog box to access the main Kodak Scanner window.

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 one-sided scanning only.

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 Sided-Front ??? captures the front side only

???One Sided-Back ??? captures the back side only

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 on-screen changes, click Preview to review and adjust the image.

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:

???Click Home to return to the main Kodak Scanner window and click Save to save your selections to your custom Setting Shortcut, or

???Click Image to return to the Image Settings window if you need to make additional changes.

???Remove: produces an image that contains just the document by eliminating any residual border. Residual border can be caused by variations in a document edge; for example, when a document is not a perfect rectangle and/or was fed crooked.

NOTES:

???While this option will not remove large amounts of residual border, there is a possibility that a small amount of the document will be lost.

???This option is only available when both Document: Automatically Detect and Straighten and Image: Entire Document are selected.

Post-scan rotation options ??? allows you to select any rotation to be applied to the electronic image after is has been scanned.

???(none)

???Automatic ??? the scanner will analyze each document to determine how it was fed and will rotate the image to the proper orientation.

???90, 180, 270 degrees ??? the amount of rotation that will be performed.

The following example shows how these settings effect a document that was fed landscape:

Adjustments tab: black The options available on the Adjustments tab depend on the Scan as and whiteselection on the General tab. The following options are based on a

Scan as selection of Black and White.

Conversion quality ??? these settings effect how the scanner analyzes a grayscale version of the document which is used to produce the black and white electronic image.

???Best (iThresholding): the scanner analyzes each document to produce the highest quality image. This option allows scanning of mixed documents with varying quality (i.e., faint text, shaded backgrounds, color backgrounds) and when scanning with consistent document sets.

???Normal (ATP): allows you to determine the optimal settings to produce the desired image quality. This option works best when scanning with consistent document sets. You may also want to use this option if you have difficult documents such that you cannot find a Contrast setting for Best that produces the desired quality.

???Draft (Fixed): allows you to select the grayscale threshold used to determine if a pixel is black or white. This option works best for high contrast documents.

Contrast ??? allows you to make an image sharper or softer. Decreasing this setting will make the image softer and reduce noise in the image. Increasing this setting will make the image clearer and make light information more visible. The options range from -50 to 50. The default is 0.

NOTE: This is not available for Conversion quality: Draft.

Threshold ??? aids in controlling the level at which a pixel is considered black or white. Decreasing this setting will make the image appear lighter, and can be used to subdue background noise. Increasing this setting will make the image appear darker, and can be used to help pick up light information. This options range from 0 to 255. The default is 90.

???Low: documents requiring only a small amount of color to be saved as color/grayscale images. Used for capturing documents that are primarily black text with small logos, or contain small amounts of highlighted text or small colorful photos.

???Medium: documents requiring more color, as compared with the Low option, before they are saved as color/grayscale images.

???High: documents requiring more color, as compared with the Medium option, before they will be saved as color/grayscale images. Used for distinguishing documents containing medium- to large-size colorful photos from plain black text. Photos with neutral colors may require adjustments to the Color Threshold or Color Amount values in order to be captured correctly.

???Custom: allows you to manually adjust the Color amount and/or

Color threshold.

NOTE: When setting Sensitivity values, it is suggested that you start with the Medium option and scan a typical job set. If too many documents were returned as color/grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the High option and re-run the job. If too few documents were returned as color/grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the Low option and re-run the job. If none of these options provide the desired result, select Custom to manually adjust Color Amount and/or Color Threshold. Custom also allows access to the Learn mode which provides a method for the scanner to analyze documents and recommend settings.

Color amount ??? the amount of color that needs to be present in a document before it will be saved as either color/grayscale. As the value of Color Amount increases, more color pixels are required. Valid values are 1 to 200.

Color threshold ??? the color threshold or saturation (i.e., pale blue vs. dark blue) at which a given color will be included in the color amount calculation. A higher value indicates that a more intense color is required. Valid values are 0 to 100.

Learn ??? allows you to calculate your settings based on representative color documents scanned. Before selecting Learn, place at least 5 representative color documents in the input tray. The documents will be scanned and analyzed to determine the recommended Color amount.

NOTE: These Color amount and Color threshold sliders will be updated automatically. If these values do not provide the desired results with your job set, you may need to manually adjust the Color Threshold.

???Template Example ??? shows a sample of what the print string will look like. As you select items in the Format list, the corresponding portion within the example will be highlighted.

???Font ??? you can select what orientation you want your information to be printed.

-Style: available character styles: Normal and Bold.

-Orientation: while the characters are printed vertically (starting at the lead edge of the document) this allows you to select the orientation of the print string. Available options are: 0, 90, 180, 270.

Offset from lead edge ??? select a value from 0.35 to 33.5 inches to determine how far the printed information will appear from the leading edge of the document.

NOTE: Printing automatically stops 6.3 mm (1/4-inch) from the trailing edge of the document even if the information has not been completely printed.

Device - Multifeed tab Multifeed detection aids in document processing by detecting documents that may go through the feeder overlapped. Multifeeds can happen due to stapled documents, adhesives on documents, or electrostatically charged documents.

Ultrasonic Detection

Sensitivity ??? controls how aggressively the scanner will work to determine if more than one document is fed into the scanner. Multi- feeds are triggered by detecting air gaps between documents. This allows multifeed detection to be used with job sets containing documents with mixed thicknesses.

???(none)

???Low: least aggressive setting and is less likely to detect labels, poor quality, thick or wrinkled documents as multi-fed documents.

???Medium: use if your job set has varying document thicknesses or labels attached to the document. Depending on the label material, most documents with labels should not be detected as a multi-fed document.

???High: the most aggressive setting. This is a good setting to use if all documents are similar in thickness no greater than 20-lb. bond paper.

NOTE: Regardless of the setting, ???sticky??? notes may still be detected as multi-fed documents.

Length Detection ??? allows you to select the maximum length of the documents in your job set. If the scanner detects a document of that length or longer, it will determine that a multifeed has occurred. You can turn this option off or set a length up to 34.5 inches.

Action When Detected ??? select what action you want the scanner to take when a multifeed is detected. With all options, the condition will be logged in the scanner.

???Stop Scanning: scanning will stop and control will return to the scanning application (i.e., ends the job). Verify that the paper path has been cleared and restart the scan session from the scanning application.

???Stop Scanning - leave paper in path: scanning will stop immediately (i.e., making no attempt to clear the paper path) and control will return to the scanning application (i.e., ends the job). Clear any documents from the paper path prior to restarting the scan session from the scanning application.

???Continue Scanning: the scanner will continue to scan.

Play sound on PC ??? turn this option on if you want the PC to make a sound when a multifeed is detected. You can click the Browse button to select the desired .wav file.

NOTE: The sound on the PC may not occur at the exact time the multifeed is detected by the scanner.

The Diagnostics window

From this window you can access the diagnostic functions of the scanner. The Diagnostics window includes the following tabs: General, Debug and Logs. The Diagnostics window can be accessed via the Diagnostics button which is located on the General tab of the Device Settings window.

Device ??? allows you to select which device to perform diagnostics on. The options are: Document Feeder or Flatbed.

NOTE: This option is only available if you had the flatbed accessory attached when the scanning application connected to the scanner.

Done ??? returns you to the Device Settings window.

Diagnostics - General tab The General tab allows you to perform a scanner test and displays the scanner time.

Tests

???Scanner: similar to, but more extensive than, a power-on self test. Selecting this will immediately put the device through a series of checks to determine that all the scanner hardware is working.

???Count only ??? counts the number of documents entering the scanner without actually sending the images to the scanning application. This test is performed during any scan session in which this option is turned on.

NOTE: This test is automatically turned off when the scanning application disconnects from the scanner.

???Printer: tests the functionality of the Printer, e.g., are all ink jets working. This test is performed during any scan session in which this option is turned on.

NOTE: This test is automatically turned off when the scanning application disconnects from the scanner.

Scanner Time

???Actual (GMT): displays the Greenwich Mean Time of the scanner.

???Corresponding local time: displays the scanner???s Greenwich Mean Time in the PC???s local time zone.

: Refresh: redisplays the current scanner time.

Diagnostics - Debug tab The Debug tab allows you to store the communications between the scanner and a scanning application, as well as the images, to a file that can be reviewed later by Kodak support personnel.

Logging ??? saves the communications between the scanner and a scanning application. The options are: Off (the default), On or Custom. It is suggested that you do not use the Custom setting, unless directed to do so by Kodak support personnel.

NOTES:

???Flag and Filter are only available for Custom; only make changes as directed by Kodak support personnel.

???For changes to take effect, you must restart your application.

Refresh: refreshes the currently displayed log.

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 one-sided scanning only.

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 two-sided documents. The Copy button provides a convenient way to set up the color, grayscale or black and white image settings on one side and transfer them to the other. For example, if you highlight and set up Front Image #1, you can use the Copy button to duplicate those settings for Back Image #2.

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 drop-down list. The default is 200 dpi. Available resolutions are: 75, 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400, 600 and 1200 dpi.

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 same-sized documents) allows you to define the area to be imaged. Fixed to Transport cropping is used in conjunction with paper size and page layout and assumes you are center-feeding your documents. If you are not using center feeding, you must select the Layout tab to define your scan area. See the section entitled ???Layout tab??? later in this chapter.

???Relative to Document: (zone processing): (used for batches of same-sized documents) ??? zone processing is a floating fixed crop window (the zone) located relative to the upper left corner of a document. It allows you to select an area on the document to be delivered in either color/grayscale or black and white format (a separate window for both black and white and color/grayscale may be defined). Different parameters may be selected for both the front and back of the image.

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 non-white paper background). When using Adaptive Thresholding, Brightness and Contrast can be adjusted.

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 drop-down list.

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.

Image Processing tab The Image Processing tab displays the Image Mode and Mode information that was previously described. Refer to the section entitled, ???The main ISIS Driver tab??? earlier in this chapter for descriptions.

Document Type

???Text: when the documents you want to scan contain mostly text.

???Text with Graphics: when the documents you want to scan contain a mix of text, business graphics (bar graphs, pie charts, etc.) and line art.

???Photographs: when the documents you want to scan are comprised mainly of photos.

???Text with Photographs: when the documents you want to scan contain a mix of text and photos.

Media type ??? select one of the following options based upon the texture/weight of the paper you are scanning. Available options are:

Plain Paper, Thin Paper, Glossy Paper, Card Stock, Magazine.

Options

???Deskew ??? automatically straightens a document within ??0.3 degrees of the leading edge of the document. Deskew can detect up to a 45-degree skew and correct up to a 24-degree angle at 200 dpi or a 10-degree skew angle at 300 dpi. This option is not available when Fixed to Transport or Relative to Document is selected.

NOTE: To prevent data loss, the document must have all four corners within the image path.

???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.

???Best: minimal compression which produces very good image quality.

???Superior: the least amount of compression which produces the largest image size.

Paper Source

NOTE: Flatbed options are only available if your scanner is equipped with the Kodak i1400 Series A3 Flatbed Accessory.

???ADF: if you are scanning documents from the input tray.

???Flatbed: if you are scanning documents using the flatbed.

Transport timeout ??? allows you to set the amount of time the scanner will wait after the last document enters the transport before the transport timeout action is taken. You can specify a time delay setting from 1 to 300 seconds.

Energy Star ??? allows you to set the amount of time the scanner will remain inactive before the scanner goes into an idle state. Choices are: 0 to 60 minutes.

Blank image detection ??? select the image size (KB), below which an image is determined to be blank. Images with sizes less than the number you select will not be created. If you use this option, you must specify a blank image size for each image type (Binary, Gray and Color) you want to delete. If you do not make an entry in these fields, all images are kept.

Multi-feed Detection options

???Length Detection ??? enable or disable (the default) this option. If enabled, select the maximum length of the document that can be scanned without a multi-feed being detected. Length detection is used when scanning same-sized documents to check for overlap. For example, if you are scanning 8.5 x 11-inch (A4) documents in portrait mode, enter a value of 11.25 inches (28.57 cm) in the Maximum Length field. The maximum value is 13.99 inches (35.56 cm).

???Auto Set: automatically sets the maximum length value to .50-inch (1.27 cm) greater than the length of the currently selected page size.

Ultrasonic Detection ??? check this option to set multi-feed detection.

???Sensitivity ??? controls how aggressively the scanner will work to determine if more than one document is fed into the transport. Multi- feeds are triggered by detecting air gaps between documents. This allows multi-feed detection to be used with job sets containing documents with mixed thicknesses.

-Low: the least aggressive setting and is less likely to detect labels, poor quality, thick or wrinkled documents as multi-fed documents.

-Medium: use Medium sensitivity if your application has varying document thickness or labels attached to the document. Depending on the label material, most documents with labels should not be detected as a multi-fed document.

-High: the most aggressive setting. This is a good setting to use if all documents are similar in thickness to 20-lb. Bond paper.

???Action ??? select an option of how you want to the scanner to perform if it detects a multi-fed document.

-Beep and continue: if selected, the scanner will beep, display and log the condition but continue to operate.

-End of Job: if selected, the scanner log the condition and stop the feeder and transport (the scanner will be disabled).

???Alarm ??? select this option if you want the scanner to make a sound when a multi-feed is detected. You can click the Speaker icon to display the Open dialog box. From the Open dialog box, select the desired .wav file and click OK.

Auto Color Detect tab The Auto Color Detect tab provides the following options.

Color Content

???None

???Low: documents require only a small amount of color to be saved as color or grayscale images. Used for capturing documents that are primarily black text with small logos, or contain small amounts of highlighted text or small colorful photos.

???Medium: documents require more color, as compared with the Low option, before they are saved as color or grayscale images.

???High: documents require more color, as compared with the Medium option, before they will be saved as color or grayscale images. Used for distinguishing documents containing medium- to large-size colorful photos from plain black text. Photos with neutral colors may require adjustments to the Color Threshold or Color Amount values in order to be captured correctly.

???Custom: makes the Color Amount and/or Color Threshold options available.

NOTE: When setting Auto Color Detect values, it is suggested that you start with the Medium option and scan a typical job set. If too many documents were returned as color/grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the High option and re-run the job. If too few documents were returned as color/ grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the Low option and re-run the job. If none of these options provide the desired result, select Custom option to manually adjust Color Amount and/or Color Threshold.

Color Amount: the amount of color that needs to be present in a document before it will be saved as either color or grayscale. As the value of Color Amount increases, more color pixels are required. Valid values are 1 to 200.

Color Threshold: the color threshold or intensity (i.e., pale blue vs. dark blue) at which a given color will be included in the color amount calculation. A higher value indicates that a more intense color is required. Valid values are 0 to 100.

Learn ??? if Low, Medium and High options do not give you the desired results, use the Learn option.

1.Click Learn and follow the prompts.

2.Place at least 5 representative color documents in the input tray and click OK. These documents will be analyzed and the recommended color amount will be calculated for you.

3.Write down the Color Amount and Color Threshold values that are displayed in the dialog box as these are the settings you will be required to use in your application.

NOTE: These settings were calculated based on the representative color documents scanned. If these values do not provide the desired results with your production job set, you may need to manually adjust the Color Threshold.

Color Adjustment

Red ??? changes the amount of red in the color image.

Green ??? changes the amount of green in the color image.

Blue ??? changes the amount of blue in the color image.

???Adjust these settings by dragging the slider bar to the left or right, entering a value in the text box or using the up/down arrows.

Background Smoothing ??? using this option for documents or forms w with a background color will help produce images with a more uniform background color.

???Background: select one of the following:

-None - no background smoothing will be performed.

-Automatic - smooths up to three background colors.

-Change to White - identifies up to three background colors and substitutes each color with white.

???Apply to:

-Predominant - smooths the predominant background color to white.

-Neutral - smooths only the neutral color to white, and also smooths up to two additional background colors.

-All - smooths the neutral color and up to two additional background colors to white.

NOTE: The Apply to options are only available for Method: Change to White.

???Aggressiveness: allows you to adjust the extent at which the background(s) are determined. The values range from -10 to 10. The default is 0.

Image Edge Fill ??? fills the edges of the final electronic image by covering the area with the specified color. Image Edge Fill is performed after all other image processing options have been applied.

Frame Mode ??? fills in an equal amount of the selected color from the Image Edge Fill drop-down list on all sides of the image, or you can select a value in the Top, Left, Right and/or Bottom area(s) from each side of the scanned image to be filled.

When using this option, be careful not to enter a value too large as it could fill in image data that you want to keep.

The Dropout tab is used to eliminate a form's background so that only the entered data is included in the electronic image (i.e., remove the form???s lines and boxes). For black and white images, these settings effect the grayscale version of the document which the scanner analyzes to produce that electronic image.

Enable Dropout Color ??? the i1400 Series Scanners can drop out red, green or blue. None is the default.

Scan Area dialog box The Scan Area dialog box allows you to define the amount of image data which is returned to the host. The area can be defined in Pixels,

Inches or Centimeters.

NOTE: Select the side and image to be defined by highlighting Front Image #1, Front Image #2, etc. based on the cropping option selected for each of these in the main ISIS Driver window. The scan areas defined for all camera selections are independent.

To access the Scan Area dialog box, select Scan Area on the Layout tab.

NOTE: The Scan Area dialog box is only available when Fixed to

Transport or Relative to Document is selected on the Scanner

Settings dialog box.

Page Size ??? the default paper size is set when a scanner is first selected. You can choose a different paper size using the drop-down list.

NOTE: Page Size and Page Layout selections also appear on the Layout tab. If you make a change on the Scan Area dialog box, the same selections appear on the Layout tab and vice versa.

Page Layout

???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.

Area

???Snap ??? enable this option to control the dimensions of the preview area to fixed 1/8-inch increments. This option is not available in

Pixels mode.

???X: the distance from the left end of the scanner to the left-edge of the scanning area.

???Y: the position from the top end of the document to the top end of the scanning area.

???Width: the width of the scanning area.

???Height: the height of the scanning area.

Units ??? select whether you want the area to be defined in Pixels,

Inches or Centimeters.

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.

???You cannot print on documents that are smaller than 10 cm (4 in.).

???The ink cartridge must be installed before turning on the scanner, or it could result in errors when printing is attempted.

Printer specifications

Installing/Replacing the ink cartridge

Before using the printer, you must install the ink cartridge. After initial installation, replace the ink cartridge when:

???printed characters appear light or uneven

???missing characters are evident

???a print test reveals inconsistent character quality

???cleaning has not improved the overall print quality

IMPORTANT: Dispose the empty ink cartridge in accordance with all federal, state and local laws.

1.Locate the printer access door on the back of the scanner.

2.Slide your fingers under the printer access door handle and pull the door toward you.

3.Lift the printer access door off the scanner.

4.If you have the Enhanced Printer, continue with the next step. If you have a Document Printer, continue with Step 5 in the next section.

ENHANCED PRINTER 5. If you are installing the ink cartridge for the first time, push the connector on the printer cable firmly into the printer carrier.

NOTE: If you are replacing an ink cartridge, the printer cable will already be installed and you just need to remove the printer carrier from it???s position and remove the empty ink cartridge.
