Page 5 Image outputs FB.tif (front bi-tonal) A-61510 January 2005 i800 Series Scanners can return bi-tonal, grayscale or color images to the host. Below is a description of the valid combinations. All i800 Scanners are duplex scanners. This means both the front and the rear side of each document may be captured.
Page 6 FG.jpg (front grayscale) A-61510 January 2005 Another example of a simultaneous output where all four images are returned to the host would create the following four files: Front grayscale: FG.jpg. This image file represents the contents of the front side of the document using 8-bits per pixel. Front bi-tonal/binary: FB.tif.
Page 7: Best Practices

Page 9 New imaging parameters are sent from the host. 4. It is recommended that you calibrate the scanner. For procedures on how to do this, see the Kodak i800 Series Scanners, User’s Guide. 5. Prepare documents according to the instructions found in the Kodak i800 Series Scanners, User’s Guide.
Page 10 Since one or more errors may be pending at any time, current errors are reported first. A deferred error results from an error condition within the scanner, such as a document jam. Deferred errors that may have occurred are reported after current errors.
Page 11 NOTE: The scanner cannot determine exactly which images were affected by the error and which images were not. If an error occurs that disables the scanner, the host can continue to read images from the image buffer without enabling the scanner.
Page 12: Transfer Order
The host application is responsible for determining the order in which the scanner returns images. Front images must always be retrieved before rear images. This job stream is available for all i800 Series Scanners. 1. Prepare documents. 2. Start the scanner to do bi-tonal duplex scanning (front bi-tonal and rear bi-tonal).
Page 13 End loop This job stream is available for i820 and i840 Series Scanners. 1. Prepare documents. 2. Start the scanner to do dual stream simplex scanning (front bi-tonal and front color). 3. Setup the scanner to retrieve bi-tonal images first.
Page 14 This job stream is available for i820 and i840 Series Scanners. 1. Prepare documents. 2. Start the scanner to do dual stream duplex scanning (front bi-tonal, front color, rear bi-tonal and rear color). 3. Setup the scanner to retrieve bi-tonal images first.
Page 15 (color/grayscale). The example illustrates using patch type 4 in the same way which the “color patch” is utilized on the Kodak Digital Science Scanner 3590C where it starts using bi-tonal. 1. Prepare documents with a patch Type 4 before and after any color/grayscale documents.
Page 16 A-61510 January 2005 This section provides recommendations for application logic associated with scanner jam and fault recovery. If your scanner is enabled and you are polling when a document jam or other fault occurs, use the following procedure to restart scanning.
Page 17: Bar Code Recognition
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.
Page 18 Starting image address/ next image address A-61510 January 2005 Unlike previous high-volume scanners from Kodak, the i800 Series Scanners moved all image address functionality to the host. This includes index format, starting image address, image address format and level rules.
Page 19: Indexing Schemes
Indexing schemes A-61510 January 2005 Documents are scanned to record the information in an easily accessible form. The scanner offers the following indexing schemes: Single level Two level Two level offset Three level Three level offset Single level indexing When using single level indexing, the image address assigned to...
Page 20: Two Level Indexing
A-61510 January 2005 Two level indexing When using two level indexing, the image address assigned to each document is defined as follows: Field D (Level 1) defined as having a field length greater than 0. Field C (Level 2) defined as having a field length greater than 0. Fields B and A may be defined as fixed fields if desired.
Page 21: Chapter 2 Image Address 02 Header
A-61510 January 2005 Two level offset indexing When using two level offset indexing, the image address assigned to each document is defined as follows: Field D (Level 2) defined as having a field length greater than 0. Fields C, B and A may be defined as fixed fields if desired. For example, if you scan a book with 2 chapters (Chapter 1 has 40 pages and Chapter 2 has 60 pages), the image address has been defined:...
Page 22: Three Level Indexing
A-61510 January 2005 Three level indexing When using three level indexing, the image address assigned to each document is defined as follows: Field D (Level 1) defined as having a field length greater than 0. Field C (Level 2) defined as having a field length greater than 0. Field B (Level 3) defined as having a field length greater than 0.
Page 23 The header page for Section 2 is assigned image address 2.00.000. The header page for Chapter 1 of the section is assigned image address 2.01.000. The pages within the chapter are assigned image address(es) 2.01.001 through 2.01.120. Any one of the pages may later be located and retrieved using its unique image address.
Page 24: Three Level Offset Indexing
A-61510 January 2005 Three level offset indexing When using three level offset indexing, the image address assigned to each document is defined as follows: Field D (Level 2) defined as having a field length greater than 0. Field C (Level 3) defined as having a field length greater than 0. Fields B and A may be defined as fixed fields if desired.

Page 26 Level instruction: Operator selects Level III using the Level icon on the OCP or uses a patch III document (Level II and I documents are generated automatically using the level to follow level rules). Level Instruction: Operator selects Level II using the Level icon on the OCP or uses a patch II document (Level 1 documents are generated automatically using the level to follow level rules).
Page 27 Level rules A-61510 January 2005 Unlike previous high-volume scanners from Kodak, the i800 Series Scanners moved the responsibility for defining and controlling level rules to the host. Level rules are an automated way to control document image addressing based on the level of the previous document.
Page 28: Electronic Color Dropout
Distance from lead edge Can print to within ½-inch of the trial edge. The i800 Series Scanners provide the ability to create dropout images without changing lamps. The application has the ability to select red, green and blue dropout functionality. Only one color can be dropped out at a time.
Page 29 Two categories of performance are provided or each color: Colors that can be completely dropped out and colors that are very close to complete dropout. These values were established by using standard Pantone Matching System® Colors guide (uncoated, 175-line screen). If the background of the document you are using is not bright white the results may vary.

Page 32 Image header information A-61510 January 2005 An image header is associated with every image captured by the scanner. Following is a list of information available in the image header. Image length size of the image. Image identifier indicates whether the image is front bi-tonal, rear bi-tonal, front color or rear color.
Page 33 A severe skew angle may result in no deskew being performed. If the scanner is unable to determine a skew angle, the image will not be deskewed. The skew angle field of the image header will be set to 0.
Page 34 The host application controls the setting of the starting value for this counter. Patch Type the scanner indicates if a patch type was recognized on the document in the image header. If no patch type is recognized, or if patch reading is not enabled, this value will be zero.

Page 37: Programmable Keys
Programmable keys A-61510 January 2005 There are three programmable keys on the Operator Control Panel of the scanner. These keys can be assigned functions by the host application. Programmable keys are available for use by the operator when the scanner is enabled. The Operator Control Panel displays the numbers 1 through 3.
Page 38: Patch Reading
PC or Operator Control Panel intervention. All documents with patch codes are imaged and cannot be automatically deleted by the scanner. A patch code can change the IA level of the document that the patch code occurs on (or the following document in the case of a Transfer patch).
Page 39 (bi-tonal) to the alternative image stream (color). This logic is performed inside the scanner. Images of the toggle patch sheet will not be returned to the host unless you also enable patch reading and select the Type 4 patch.
Page 40 See the section entitled “Controlling image order” earlier in this chapter for examples on how to use additional patches. Batching provides a way for the scanner to perform a specific function after scanning a designated number of documents at a particular IA level.

Page 47 Binarization these settings effect the bi-tonal image. Available settings are: iThresholding: selecting 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.
Page 48 A-61510 January 2005 When Adaptive Thresholding is selected, Contrast values may range from 1 to 100. A Contrast value of 100 is considered fully adaptive thresholding. Fixed thresholding ATP disabled Fixed Processing used for black-and-white and other high contrast documents. A single level is set to determine the black-and-white transition.
Page 49 A-61510 January 2005 Noise Filter occasionally small dots or specks appear in the background of a scanned image. These specks increase file compression size and usually contain no image information. Using the Noise Filter on documents containing very fine detail (e.g., the dot on an "i"...
Page 50 A-61510 January 2005 Contrast % sets the image contrast by adjusting the difference between black and white, thereby making an image sharper or softer. In a low-contrast setting, the difference between black and white is small, so the image is softer. In a high-contrast setting, the difference between black and white is large, so the image is clearer.
Page 51 (0 to 255) in the Threshold text box. Scan the document to check the threshold. NOTE: This setting works with the Contrast setting. A Contrast setting of 0 causes the scanner to use fixed thresholding. A Contrast setting of 100 causes the scanner to use fully-adaptive thresholding.

Page 63 Background this value will be substituted in the grayscale (pre-thresholded) image for the color being removed. Therefore, this value should be higher than the threshold value selected on the Imaging tab for this pixel to become the background color. For example, if you are scanning a white document with a green form and you have selected a bi-tonal threshold value of 127, you should pick an electronic color drop-out background value greater than 127 so the substituted pixel will...
Page 64 The Image Address tab A-61510 January 2005 Image addressing provides better document management opportunities. Image addressing is used for document tracking, batch control and image management. The Image Address tab allows you set an image address starting point and increment the image address according to how the application is setup.
Page 65 Image Address Template area Each field may be a maximum of 9 characters. The total image address cannot exceed 27 characters (30 with 3 delimiters). The i800 Series Scanners have more options available for image addressing schemes with the following guidelines: You may define from 0 to 4 fixed fields.
