Patch pattern details There are three patch classifications: • Document/Batch separation patches (sometimes referred to Image Address patches) — these patches are traditionally used for scanning many different documents at one time with patch pages as separators. These patches are Type 2 (Document Separation) Type 3 (Batch Separation) and Type T which can be used for either Document or Batch Separation).

Page 94: Patch Positioning
Patch positioning Horizontal and vertical placement of the patch code is critical for reliable patch reading. If the patch code is placed improperly on the document, the scanner may fail to read the patch. Vertical patches should be placed such that there is at least 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) of white space between the lead edge of the page (the edge that goes into the scanner first) and the start of the printed bar patterns.
Page 95 Supplies and consumables ..............7-16 This chapter describes the required cleaning and maintenance procedures for the Kodak i5x50 Scanners. The frequency of these procedures will vary with different scanning environments, paper types and image processing requirements. High volumes of scanning will demand more frequent cleaning of the scanner and more frequent replacement of consumables.
