System requirements Following are the minimum software and hardware re qu ire m en ts to run
Capture Software.
Software All systems require Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, or Windows XP.
NOTE: The i200 Series Scanners are on ly su pp or te d und er Window s 98SE,
Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Hardware • IBM PC (or compatible) with a Pentium 667 MHz processor (m inimum)
Choosing the right processor is important. When the microprocessor is too
slow, your PC cannot keep up with the scanner’s speed, and overall
productivity decreases. See the followin g table for the processor required for
optimal scanning in certain scanning modes.
Scanner Model Scanning Mode Processor Required
i50 Scanner
i60 Scanner
i80 Scanner
i250 Scanner
i260 Scanner

Black and white Pentium 2.5 GHz
Grayscale Pentium 2.5 GHz*
Color Pentium 2.5 GHz*
Color Pentium 1 GHz*
Color Pentium 1.5 GHz*
* For color and grayscale scanning, the PC must have MMX processing
capability and an Intel-based Pentium processor is recommended.
NOTE: If you plan to use the deskew, auto-cr op, and auto-rotate features
when color scanning in Capture Software, the fastest microprocessor
available (currently the Pentium IV 2.5 GHz) is recommended.
• 1 GB (<10 msec) hard disk
For color scanning with the i820 Scanner or i840 Scanner, two (2) SCSI
hard disk drives are recommended: one for the operating system and one
for storing the scanned images. Much more disk space will likely be required
for scanned image storage.
1-4 A-63054 February 2004
• 128 MB of RAM
- For color scanning with the i50 Scanner, i60 Scanner, or i80 Scanner,
256 MB of RAM is recommended.
- For color scanning with the i200 Series Scanners, 512 MB of RAM is
recommended.
- For color scanning with the i820 Scanner or i840 Scanner, 512 MB of
RAM is recommended.
• SCSI controller
- An Adaptec 2940 controller is recommended. You can also use an
Adaptec 1542CP controller. Newer SCSI cards such as the Adaptec
19160 or 29160 may also be used.
- For the i800 Series Scanners, an Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller or
equivalent (Ultra-Wide2 SCSI) is required.
• IEEE-1394 (FireWire) controller
For the i200 Series Scanners, a plug-and-play IEEE-1394 (FireWire)
interface is required. Use only the FireWire card and cable that is supplied
with the i200 Series Scanner.
IMPORTANT: The i200 Series Scanner should be the only item plugged in to
the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) card on the host computer.
• Parallel/printer port (with DB25 female connector) for hardware
key installation.
USB ports are not supported.
• Display monitor and graphic controller
Most high-quality displays and graphic controllers are acceptable.
The display resolution should be set to at least 800 x 600.
- For black-and-white scanning, the display monitor should be set to at
least 256 Colors. For color scanning with the Kodak color scanners, set
the display monitor to True Color (24 bit or 16 million colors).
- For color scanning with the i820 Scanner and i840 Scanner, an
AGP (Advanced Graphics Processor) video card with 32 MB of
video RAM is recommended.

System development The Capture Software program was developed by Eastman Kodak Company
and I.R.I.S. Group, Belgium.
Using this manual This User’s Guide describes the functions and procedures in Capture
Software. Chapters 2 and 3 are directed toward individua ls wh o ar e
responsible for scanning, manipulating images within a document, and
writing to image batches. These individuals must have a working knowledge of
IBM (or compatible) PCs and the Windows oper ating environment. In addition
to computer and scanner operations skills, a basic understanding of digital
imaging or image scanning is helpful.
Chapters 4 through 11 and Appendix A are intended for the system
administrator who is responsible for configuring the scanner and
Capture Software.
Differences between the Capture Software products specific to the low,
mid-, and high volume scanners will be identified throughout the manual
where appropriate.
NOTE: Many of the screen examples in this manual were captured using
Capture Software with a Scanner 3500. These examples, except
where noted, also apply to Capture Software support for the Kodak
scanners listed in this chapter.
Terminology Before you start, it is important to know how document, page, side, image,
and other terms are used in this guide.
Application—you can create an unlimited number of applications with
Capture Software (the actual number of applications allowed depends on
directory limits imposed by the operating system). Applications are
distinguished by the batch and document separation methods used
(e.g., patch codes, documen t/image counters, etc.), indexing requirements
(e.g., bar code) and Batch Output format requirements. With an application,
you can produce batches of an essentially unlimited number of documents
(up to 999999999) which are used in conjunction with other digital
document management systems and are available in several output
formats (e.g., IMR Alchemy, MO:DCA, eiStream WMS RBE).
Batch—a collection of documents. An application can contain several batches
(each up to 999999999 documents; essentially unlimited). Processing a batch
means converting the batch to a specific output format (e.g., IMR Alchemy,
single-page TIFF, MO:DCA, eiStream WMS RBE) and sending it to a batch
destination folder/subdirectory. Batches can be processed one by one
or together.
1-6 A-63054 February 2004
Document—a paper document is a collection of pages; an electronic
document is a collection of images. A document containing many pages is
called a multi-page document (e.g., a file folder or article). A document
containing only one page is called a single-page document (e.g., a check).
Initially , every document is in p aper form and becomes an electronic do cument
after it is scanned; Capture Software gives every document a unique electronic
document number . This document number is cross-referen ced with index dat a
that can be uploaded to any document management system.
Document index—the document index links search fields (up to 10 search
fields) with the document number of each document. The document index can
be built manually or automatically with bar codes or default values.
Image—the scanner converts sides to images. Every image belongs to a
document with a unique document number. Capture Software gives every
image a sequential number inside its document. One document can contain
up to 999999999 (i.e., essentially unlimited) images. Capture Software
distinguishes between an image coming from the front or rear side of a
page. This allows Capture Software to perform side-specific processing
(e.g., deletion of blank/rear sides) where appropriate.
Capture Software also distinguishes between color, grayscale, and bitonal
(black and white) images and can perform color/grayscale versus bitonal
specific processing.
Example: Document 250 contains two double-sided pages and produces an
electronic document number 250, which contains four images (1-4).
Page—a page is always in paper form and is part of a paper document. A
page can produce one image (single-sided page), two images (double-sided
page), or four images (dual-stream; color and bitonal) after scanning.
Side—one page has two sides, front and rear. With sin gle-sid e d pages, the
rear is blank.

flatbed. When you scan single sheet documents with the flatbed, place
the documents face down with the corner aligned with the arrow.
- For the Scanner 1500 and Scanner 2500, you first need to place the
documents to be scanned in the feeder. The scanner automatically
detects the presence of documents in the feeder and the scanner
transport/feeder starts to run.
For the Scanner 1500, you may also place a document on the flatbed.
If no documents are in the feeder and flatbed scanning has been
enabled, the scanner will scan the flatbed. When you scan single
sheet documents with the flatbed, place the documents in the upper
left corner of the flatbed.
NOTE:Page Setup is configured for auto-cropping and/or deskewing
documents, place the document in the middle of the flatbed platen
and align the top edge with the top edge of the glass.
- For the Scanner 3500, Scanner 3510, Scanner 3520, Color Scanner
3590C, and Color Scanner 4500, the scanner transport/feeder starts
to run.
- For the Scanner 5500, Scanner 7520, and Scanner 9520, the Start button
enables the scanner. You must press the green butt on on th e sca nn e r’s
operator panel to start the scanner transport/feeder.

- For the i800 Series Scanners, the Auto-start transport option in the
Scanner Setup dialog determines what the Start button does.
When Auto-St art transport is enabled, the scanner transport and feeder
will automatically run and start scanning.
When Auto-Start transport is disabled, the Start button enables only the
scanner. You must press the green button on the sca nner control p anel to
start the scanner transport/feeder.
It may take a few seconds to start the scanner the first time because
Capture Software is downloading parameters. Successive starts are faster.
To stop the scanner in Capture Software:
• Click the red Stop button on the Scanner bar of the Capture Software main
window or press F6.
NOTE: The i50 Scanner, i60 Scanner, or i80 Scanner will stop when all
documents in the feeder have been scanned.
Exiting Capture Software • To exit Capture Software, select File>Exit.
The Capture Software application closes.
Restarting if a
transport time-out
occurs
The scanner stops automatically when you do not scan documents for a
period of time (based upon the time-out period that is set in the Scanner
Setup dialog box).
To restart the feeder and transport, click the green Start button on the
Scanner bar and continue feeding documents. You do not need to restart
Capture Software.

Recovering from
a paper jam
Under certain conditions, a paper jam can occur. Follow these steps to clear
the scanner and restart Capture Software.
1. Clear any paper from the scanner by following the guidelines described in
the User’s Guide for the scanner you are using.
2. Make sure that the top and/or bottom of the scanner are completely closed,
if you had to open them to clear the jam.
3. Wait until the scanner is ready (e.g., on the Scanner 3500, the yellow light
is off and the green Ready light has stopped flashing).
NOTE: Check the screen to verify the last complete image you received from
the scanner before the paper jam. Restart scanning from that point.
4. Click the green Start button on the Scanner bar in the main window.
NOTE: For the i200 Series Scanners, the red indicator light remains on until
the scanner is restarted. If the jam was properly cleared, the re d
indicator light will go out and the green indicator light will illuminate.
Calibration Calibration optimizes the optical system of your scanner in order to achieve the
best overall quality of scanned images. Frequent calibration is not needed or
recommended. However , if you do need to calibrate the scanner (for exam ple,
poor image quality), follow the steps below.
1. Clean the imaging guides properly (e.g., see the scanner’s User’s Guide
for procedures).
2. Obtain a proper calibration target.
Use a clean, blank sheet of paper with a matte surface (not glossy). Make
sure that the target is wider than the document s to be scanned. It is best to
use the square calibration target available from Kodak.
NOTE: For the i800 Series Scanners only: You must use the special
black-and-white calibration target provided with the scanner.
3. Select Scanner>Calibration in the Capture Software main window.
NOTES: For the i50, i60, and i80 Scanners and the Scanner 1500 and
Scanner 2500, scanner calibration is not necessary and therefore is
not available through Capture Software.
For the Scanner 5500, Scanner 7520, and Scanner 9520, calibration
is available only through the scanner operator panel and is required
every time the scanner is powered up.
For the Color Scanner 3590C and Color Scanner 4500, select
Scanner>Color Calibration for color image quality issues.
A prompt appears.
4. Place the calibration target in the scanner ADF.
5. Click OK.
