This chapter provides you with recommendations for program
logic, which will allow you to interact efficiently with the i800
Scanner. This high-level information is not intended to be used
as a coding guide. The following information is provided in this
chapter:
Basic image capture
Controlling image transfer order – switching between
color/grayscale and bi-tonal
Jam recovery
Image file storage locations
Bar code recognition
Starting image addresses
Controlling print strings
Electronic Color Dropout (form design, drop-out colors)
Available image header information and its uses
Zone processing (recombining images, especially for viewing)
Programmable keys
Patch reading
Batching
NOTE: The term host in the sections that follow refers to either the
driver or application depending on code logic.
Basic image capture is the high-level logic flow for retrieving images
from the scanner.
Follow this sequence to scan documents: set up the scanner,
