Kodak Perfect Page Image Processing
Kodak's Perfect Page technology is a key piece of the magic that
makes the Kodak Scan Station 100 a real winner. Perfect Page
automatically adjusts the scanner to all document types and conditions,
improving OCR accuracy and producing high-quality scanned images
from even poor-quality original documents — time-consuming rescans
are virtually eliminated. Perfect Page provides industry-standard image
quality for your documents.
File Output Types
The Kodak Scan Station 100 offers you a choice of saving the images
of your paper documents to these industry-standard file types.
• TIFF – Tagged Image File Format. These images can be either
color, grayscale or black-and-white. They are most often used for
black-and-white images. Using Group IV compression, black-and-
white TIFF files can be made very small for easy network transport
and storage. While color and grayscale images can also be saved in
TIFF format, they will be saved without compression and can be quite
large as a result. Color and grayscale images can be saved with
compression using the JPEG format. TIFF files are normally saved
with a .tif file name extension.
• Searchable PDF — like regular PDF format files but these supply the
document text as well as the image. The result is an image where the
text can be searched. These files are also saved with a .pdf file name
extension. The Kodak Scan Station supports searchable PDF in each
of the languages we support.
• JPEG — a file format created by the Joint Photographic Experts
Group. While color, grayscale and black-and-white images can all be
saved to JPEG, this format is most commonly used for color and
grayscale images. Compression squeezes the file size of color and
grayscale images down to a manageable size suitable for sending
over the network or attaching in an email. These files are saved with
a .jpg file name extension. When saving your document to JPEG
format, each side of the page that you image will be saved as a
separate .jpg file.
