Kodak 120-3090 - I830 - Scanner Firmware User Manual page 4

For Kodak Scanners 9XYZ, 5XYZ, 7XYZ, i800/i1800 (with image addressing) Series Scanners
and 70 Microimager:
The minimum overall length of the patch bars is 2 inches (50 mm).
Patch positioning
Horizontal and vertical placement of the patch code
is critical for proper operation. If the patch code is
placed improperly on the document, the patch
sensors may fail to sense the patch.
• Patches should appear with the bars parallel to
the leading edge of the document (fed into the
transport first).
• There must be at least 0.25 inches (6 mm) of
space between the patch code and any other
printed information.
Figure A
Horizontal placement/positioning
• There are five patch sensor locations for the
scanner models listed above, except for the i1800
Series Scanners which have four patch sensor
locations.
• Horizontal placement of patch codes is affected by
the position of the side guides. Make certain the
side guides are positioned so the patch code will
be transported directly past the window in which
the patch reader is installed.
• Use of a standard 2.5-inch (62.5 mm) patch code
is recommended to ensure the patch code may
still be read even if there is a slight variation in the
positioning of the side guide(s).
