Bar code recognition
A-61510 January 2005
This section provides general recommendations regarding the impact
of image file storage locations on the overall throughput of the scanner.
Depending upon the model of your scanner, you can receive up
to four image files per document. Decisions about where to write
these files when retrieving them from the scanner could impact
the overall throughput of the scanner. In order to prevent
overwriting data the scanner stops feeding paper when the
internal image buffer reaches two-thirds capacity. Scanning will
not resume until buffer memory reaches one-third. In order to
minimize the number of times this condition might occur, it is
recommended that image files are written to a local hard drive in
order to avoid the potential overhead of transferring files across
the network to remote drives during scanning.
This section provides general information about bar code recognition
and read rates.
Unlike previous high-volume scanners from Kodak, the i800
Series Scanners do not include a bar code accessory. Bar code
functionality is now the responsibility of the host system. The
main imaging parameter, which may affect bar code read rates, is
resolution. Depending upon your scanner model, either bi-tonal,
grayscale or color images may be used for bar code applications.
Refer to your software documentation for their recommendations
and/or requirements for image file quality to achieve desired read
rates.
