1 Introduction

The Kodak i1200/i1300 Series Scanners are compact document
scanners perfect for workgroups and other decentralized applications.
All scanner models have a tilt feature that allows you to tilt the scanner
body and position the input and output trays in a variety of angles to
meet your scanning needs. In addition, the tilt feature allows scanning
in tight spaces when space is limited and stores easily when not in use.
Also included with each model is smart touch functionality which allows
you to send your documents to email, print or various applications with
a touch of a button. The i1200/i1300 Scanners also can support the
optional A4 tethered flatbed accessory.

The following models are available:

Kodak i1210 Scanner — a simplex scanner which provides scanning
at up to 30 pages per minute in color, grayscale or black and white at
200 dpi.

Kodak i1220 Scanner — a duplex scanner which provides scanning at
up to 30 pages per minute in color, grayscale or black and white at 200
dpi.

Kodak i1310 Scanner — a simplex scanner which provides color
scanning at up to 30 pages per minute and black and white and
grayscale scanning at up to 60 pages per minute at 200 dpi.

Kodak i1320 Scanner — a duplex scanner which provides color
scanning at up to 30 pages per minute and black and white and
grayscale scanning at up to 60 pages per minute at 200 dpi.

For support of most document scanning software applications, a
TWAIN datasource and ISIS Driver are included with the Kodak i1200/
i1300 Series Scanners. These drivers provide all of the innovative
image processing you can expect from Kodak.

This User’s Guide provides information and procedures for the Kodak
i1200/i1300 Series Scanners. The information in this guide is for use
with all scanner models unless otherwise noted.

Safety information CAUTION: The scanner and power supply must only be used

indoors in a dry location.

• When placing the scanner, make sure that the electrical power outlet
is located within 1.52 metres (5 feet) of the scanner and is easily
accessible.

• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemical products are
available on the Kodak website at: www.kodak.com/go/msds. When
accessing the MSDSs from the website, you will be required to
provide the catalog number of the consumable you want the Material
Safety Data Sheet for. See the section entitled, “Supplies and
consumables” later in this guide for supplies and catalog numbers.

User precautions Users and their employer need to observe the common sense

precautions applicable to the operation of any machinery. These
include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not wear loose clothing, unbuttoned sleeves, etc.

• Do not wear loose jewelry, bracelets, bulky rings, long necklaces, etc.

• Hair should be kept short, using a hair net if needed, or by tying long
hair up in a bundle.

• Remove all loose objects from the area that could be drawn into the
machine.

• Follow the recommended Kodak cleaning procedures. Do not use air,
liquid or gas spray cleaners. These cleaners only displace the dust,
dirt or debris to another location within the scanner, which could
cause the scanner to malfunction.

Supervisors should review their practices and make the compliance
with these precautions a part of the job description for the operator of
the Kodak i1200/i1300 Series Scanners and any other mechanical
devices.

4 Image Processing

Overview This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to many users. The

Kodak i1200/i1300 Series Scanners provide the ability to process
scanned images to improve their quality. Using these features the
scanner can sometimes make the scanned image look better than the
original document. Basic image processing concepts are reviewed in
this chapter to help you take advantage of these powerful features.

Image processing refers to several separate features of the scanner
that allow you to automatically adjust each image in a certain way that
may improve the resulting images. Common examples of image
processing features are correcting any skew in the fed document,
cutting the edges of the image off to remove any unneeded border or
cleaning up extraneous “noise” on the image. This can be done
automatically so you can get better images with a minimum amount of
rework.

The information that follows describes the image processing features
by walking you through the Scan Validation Tool. The same options
should be available on the user interface of the software application you
are using (i.e., Kodak Capture Software).

Starting the Scan Validation Tool

1. Select Start>Programs>Kodak>Document Imaging>Scan
Validation Tool.

2. Select TWAIN (or ISIS) for the Driver Type and the Kodak Scanner
i1200/i1300 Scanner as the Driver. The Scan Validation Tool dialog

box will be displayed.

A-61560 June 2006 39

Scan Validation Tool dialog box

The Scan Validation Tool (SVT) is a diagnostic application that Kodak
provides with most Kodak Scanners. The SVT user interface allows
access to all the features of the scanner and is a good way to verify that
the scanner is working properly. The Scan Validation Tool allows you to
verify scanner functionality using both the TWAIN datasource and the
ISIS driver.

• To access the TWAIN datasource (or ISIS driver), double-click the

Scanner icon on the Scan Validation Tool dialog box to access the
Kodak Scanner window.

40 A-61560 June 2006

Using the TWAIN datasource

The TWAIN datasource is software that communicates with your
scanner. It is provided by Kodak with the i1200/i1300 Scanners. Many
scanning applications support the TWAIN standard and this datasource
can be used to interface with these applications.

This section provides descriptions of the scanner features using options
on the TWAIN datasource tabs. If you are using the TWAIN datasource,
follow the procedures in this section to set up your scanner. If you are
using the ISIS driver, see the section entitled, “Using the ISIS driver”
later in this chapter.

For the purpose of this manual, all displayed dialog boxes assume the
features available on the Kodak i1220 or i1320 Scanner (duplex
scanner). If you have a Kodak i1210 or i1310 Scanner (simplex
scanner) all options are limited to one-sided scanning only.

Terminology and features

Throughout this manual the terms “dual stream” and “automatic color
detection” are used. On the new TWAIN datasource interface dual

stream refers to Multiple; and automatic color detection refers to One­based on document content. Both of these options can be configured

on the Advanced and Content Settings tabs.

If you have used previous scanners from Kodak, you may be familiar
with many of the image processing features already. With the new
graphical user interface in the TWAIN datasource, some of the names
of those features have changed. Refer to Appendix B, Feature Map for
a cross reference of old feature names with new feature names.

How do I begin? First you need to select a Settings Shortcut you want to use from the

main Kodak Scanner window. Each Settings Shortcut is separately
named and contains the scanner settings needed to do a certain
scanning job. For additional flexibility, Settings Shortcuts also include
device settings, like Energy Star and transport time-outs. By default, the
i1200 and i1300 Series Scanners come with predefined Settings
Shortcuts for the most common scanner tasks. Using these Settings
Shortcuts can save you time and makes it easy to be productive. For
example, if you want to scan color business documents and convert
them to a JPEG file, all you need to do is choose the Settings Shortcut
that is configured with the settings that best meet your scanning needs.

You can alter and create Settings Shortcuts for your specific scanning
needs. In order to create your own custom Settings Shortcut, select one
of the default Settings Shortcuts to use as a template, make your
desired changes to the settings and then save the Settings Shortcut
with a name that is meaningful to you. You cannot modify the default
Setting Shortcuts.

A-61560 June 2006 41

Most of the options you’ll want to set are available on these two
windows:

• Image Settings: clicking the Settings button on the main Kodak

Scanner window, displays the Image Settings window. From this
window you can set your image processing parameters by using the
General, Size, Adjustments and Enhancements tab. You can also
access the Device settings, by clicking the Device button or the
Advanced settings by clicking the Advanced button.

• Device Settings: the Device button is located on the Image Settings

window. When you select Device, you will have access to the
General and Multifeed tabs. From the Device Settings window, you
can also access Diagnostics.

The procedures that follow describe how to configure a customized
Setting Shortcut. Complete descriptions of the features and options on
the Kodak Scanner window and tabs are found in the section entitled,
“The main Kodak Scanner window”.

NOTE: Settings Shortcuts can sometimes be overridden by your

scanning application. If this happens, the Shortcut you call will
appear in the main Kodak Scanner window in italics with the
word <Changed> next to it. This is normal behavior for an
application that does not use Settings Shortcuts and downloads
its preferred individual settings to the scanner first and then
provides access to the TWAIN datasource.

Selecting Image settings From the main Kodak Scanner window:

1. Select a predefined Setting Shortcut from the Settings Shortcuts list
box. Choose a Setting Shortcut that describes as closely as
possible the image output you desire.

2. Determine if you want to capture an electronic image of the front of

42 A-61560 June 2006

2. Determine if you want to capture an electronic image of the front of
your document, back of your document or both sides of your
document and make the selection from the Input Document is drop-
down list. Options are:

• Two Sided — captures both sides of the document

• One Sided-Front — captures the front side only

• One Sided-Back — captures the back side only

3. Place one or two representative documents in the input tray of the
scanner.

NOTE: When scanning one side of a document or if you are using

an i1210 or i1310 Scanner, be sure to place the side of the
document to be scanned facing the input tray.

4. If you want to see what your selected image processing options will
look like and make on-screen changes, click Preview to review and
adjust the image.

This only needs to be done if you want to make interactive
adjustments to your selected image processing options.

5. If you are satisfied with your selected image processing options,
reload your document if necessary and click Scan.

• If the images are acceptable, the image processing settings are
fine and you do not need to click the Settings button to alter any
values in the General, Size, Adjustments or Enhancements tabs.

• If the images are not acceptable, you can either select a different
predefined Setting Shortcut that more closely describes your
desired output or you can continue to work with the Setting
Shortcut you have selected by reviewing each setting on the
General, Size, Adjustments and Enhancements tabs and make
the appropriate changes. When you make any changes, repeat
Steps 3 - 5 to until you get the desired results.

6. If you made any changes to a predefined Setting Shortcut, click
Save As on the main Kodak Scanner window. The Save As dialog
box will be displayed.

7. Enter a new Setting Shortcut name that is meaningful to you and
click Save. You have now created and saved a custom Setting
Shortcut which can be used for your scanning operations.

A-61560 June 2006 43

Selecting Device settings 1. Select the Setting Shortcut that you just created.

2. Select Settings to access the Image Settings window.

3. Select Device. The Device Settings window will be displayed.

4. Before making any adjustments, click through the tabs on the
Device Settings window to get familiar with features that are
available. See the section entitled “The Device Settings window” for
information about these features.

5. Determine which features you want to use when scanning and
select the appropriate tab.

6. On each tab, select the appropriate options or action you want the
scanner to perform.

7. When finished:

• Click Home to return to the main Kodak Scanner window and

click Save to save your selections to your custom Setting
Shortcut, or

• Click Image to return to the Image Settings window if you need to

make additional changes.

44 A-61560 June 2006

The main Kodak Scanner window

The main Kodak Scanner window displays the image processing
Setting Shortcuts for your scanner. You can use the predefined Setting
Shortcuts or set up a custom Setting Shortcut for your scanning needs.

Setting Shortcuts — provides a listing of the Setting Shortcuts
currently set up.

• Default — this Setting Shortcut contains the system default settings.

Use the default Setting Shortcut as a starting point for a customized
Setting Shortcut.

Input document is — provides a listing of the types of documents you
are scanning.

• One Sided - Front: select when scanning one-sided documents that

are placed in the input tray face down.

• One Sided - Back: select when scanning one-sided documents that

are placed in the input tray face up.

• Two Sided: select when scanning two-sided documents, documents

can be placed in the input tray facing you or the input tray.

A-61560 June 2006 45

Save — saves any changes made on the current Setting Shortcut.

NOTE: If you have made changes to an existing Setting Shortcut and

have not saved your changes, it will be displayed in italics on
the main window.

Save As — displays the Save As dialog box allowing you to save your
current settings with a Setting Shortcut name that is meaningful to you.

Delete — deletes the selected Setting Shortcut.

Rename — allows you to rename the selected Setting Shortcut.

NOTE: When a factory-set Setting Shortcut is selected (i.e., Defaults),

Delete and Rename are not available.

Move Up — moves the selected Setting Shortcut up one position in the

Settings Shortcut list. When you move a Setting Shortcut, it will stay in
that position until you move it again.

Move Down — moves the selected Setting Shortcut down one position
in the Settings Shortcut list. When you move a Setting Shortcut, it will
stay in that position until you move it again.

Settings — displays the Image Settings window. From this window you
can set your image processing parameters by using the General, Size,
Adjustments and Enhancements tabs. You can also access the Device
settings by clicking the Device button.

Preview — when you are creating a Setting Shortcut, the Preview
window displays the scanned image and shows any adjustments you
make to the settings.

OK — saves your changes.

Cancel — closes the main Kodak Scanner window without saving any

changes. If you have made changes to a Setting Shortcut and have not
saved the changes, a message will be displayed notifying you that
there are unsaved changes.

46 A-61560 June 2006

The Image Settings window

The Image Settings window allows you to define image processing
values that can be applied to your scanner. The Image Settings window
includes four tabs: General, Size, Adjustments, and Enhancements.
The options available on each tab are dependent upon the selection
you make from the Scan As drop-down list on the General tab.

Side — the Side drop-down box is located above each of the main tabs
on the main Kodak Scanner window. This drop-down box shows you
which side of the document the scanner settings will be applied to. For
i1220 and i1320 Scanners the Side drop-down box is grayed out and
the image settings will be applied to both sides. If you want different
settings for each side of your document, select the Different Settings
per side checkbox on the Advanced tab. Selecting that checkbox will
enable the Side drop-down box. For more information see the section
entitled, “Advanced options” later in the chapter.

Preview window The Preview window is a powerful tool used when creating a Setting

Shortcut that, in most cases, allows you to see and interactively change
the results your image processing choices have on a sample document.
You can do this without rescanning the document, making the
adjustment process quick and easy. Once you have adjusted your
Setting Shortcut to display your scanned document the way you want it,
you can save the Setting Shortcut and access those same image and
devices settings for any scanning job you need. Use the Preview
window with your difficult documents to quickly and easily find the
optimal group of settings needed to create the best images. The
Preview window is displayed as part of the Image Settings window for
each of its tabs (General, Size, Adjustments, Enhancements).

NOTE: If you choose Document: Manually Select on the Size tab, the

Preview window can also be used to draw cropping frames.

A-61560 June 2006 47

Toolbar icons Following is a description of the toolbar icons.

Zooms in on a portion of the image. Press and hold the left
mouse button inside an image to magnify it. Drag the tool across
the image to magnify different areas of the image.

Zooms out on a portion of the image. Press and hold the left
mouse button inside an image to reduce it.

Rotate outline — rotates the outline 90 degrees if the rotated
outline fits in the scanner’s maximum width.

Center outline — adjusts the X origin of the outline such that
the outline is centered within the scanner’s maximum width.

Select the Preview image quality you want displayed.

Normal: displays acceptable image quality at a lower resolution.
High: displays the most accurate representation of the actual

image. That image that is displayed in the Preview window is a
good representation of what the final image will look like.

Select the unit of measurement for the Preview grid. Options
are: Inches, Centimeters and Pixels.

48 A-61560 June 2006

General tab The General tab allows you to define several image processing values

that can be applied to your scanner.

Scan as — select one of the following options:

• Color (24-bit): if you want your electronic image to be in color.

• Grayscale (8-bit): if you want your electronic image to have a range

of varying shades of gray from black to white.

• Black and white (1-bit): if you want your electronic image to

represent all elements of your document in black and white.

NOTE: The Scan As option is not available when Multiple Images

per Side or One based on document content is being
used. These options already imply a combination of two of
the Scan As options.

Document type — select one of the following based on the documents
you are scanning:

• Text with Graphics: the documents contain a mix of text, business

graphics (bar graphs, pie charts, etc.) and line art.

• Text: the documents contain mostly text.

• Photographs: the documents contain mostly photos.

Media type — select one of the following options based on the texture/
weight of the paper you are scanning. Available options are: Plain
Paper, Thin Paper, Glossy Paper, Card Stock, Magazine.

Resolution or dots per inch (dpi) — indicates the scanning resolution,
which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater
the resolution, the better the reproduction. However, scanning at a
higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size. The
industry standard is 200 dpi (about 8 pixels/mm). Available resolutions
are: 75, 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400, 600 and 1200 dpi.

Compression — squeezes the file to decrease the total size. Black
and white images are normally compressed using a CCITT standard
called Group IV, often used in conjunction with TIFF files. Color and
grayscale images are often compressed using JPEG techniques.

Quality — if you choose JPEG compression, select one of the quality
options:

• Draft: smallest file size with draft image quality

• Good: larger file size with good image quality

• Better: larger file size with better image quality

• Best: larger file size with the best image quality

• Superior: largest file size with superior image quality

A-61560 June 2006 49

Size tab The Size tab allows you to define values relating to the image output

(i.e., cropping values, paper size, etc.).

Document

• Automatically Detect and Straighten: when a document(s) is fed

into the transport, this option will automatically straighten and crop
the image to the edge of the document. (This option is referred to as
automatic cropping and deskew on previous Kodak Scanners. For a
complete list on how our older products map to new features and
names for our new products, see the Feature Map in Appendix B.)

• Automatically Detect: when a document(s) is fed into the transport,

this option will automatically crop the image to the edge of the
document but does not straighten the image. (This option is
sometimes referred to as automatic cropping.)

• Manually Detect: allows you to define the area to be imaged. Use

this option for batches of same-sized documents. (This option is
sometimes referred to as fixed cropping.)

Image

• Entire document: returns the entire document as the image.

• Part of the document: allows you to select a portion of the scanned

document to return as the image.

50 A-61560 June 2006

Outline — enter the Origin and Size values. You can enter the desired
values in the fields or use the arrow keys to define the desired area.
The Preview window will show image dimensions and placement as
you change the values. This option is only available when you select a

Document option which allows an Image selection of Part of
Document.

• Origin (x, y): the distance from the left end of the scanner to the left

edge of the scanning area (x) and the distance from the top of the
Detect and Straightened document to the top of the image (y).

• Size (w, h): the width and height of the scanning area.

• Angle: automatically calculates the Origin values based on the

document size selected. This is the angle of the outline.

• Predefined sizes: select a different paper size by using the drop-

down list.

Use the bounding box on the Preview window to adjust or move the
image dimensions and placement.

Border

• Remove: eliminates any residual black border on the image edges.

In order to achieve this, there is a possibility that a small amount of
image data may be lost.

• Add: allows you to add a fixed amount of border to the left, right, top

and bottom edge of the image.

Post-scan rotation options:

• 90, 180, 270 degrees — sometimes “portrait” documents are fed into

the scanner in “landscape” orientation. When this happens, the
image must be rotated to view the original portrait orientation. This
may be accomplished in the scanner by selecting 90°, 180° or 270°.

• Automatic based on content — when selected, images will be

rotated to their proper orientation, if needed.

• None — no rotation will be done.

A-61560 June 2006 51

Adjustments tab: black and white

The options available depend on the Scan As selection you made on
the General tab. The following options are based on a Scan As
selection of Black and White.

Conversion quality — these settings effect the black and white image.
Available options are Best, Normal and Draft. These options are
applied to grayscale scanned images and outputs a black and white
electronic image. The strength of the Best and Normal options lie in the
ability to separate the foreground information from the background
information even when the background color or shading varies, and the
foreground information varies in color quality and darkness. Different
types of documents may be scanned using the same image processing
parameters and results in excellent scanned images. For scanning jobs
where it is still needed, Draft is still available.

• Best (iThresholding): the scanner dynamically evaluates 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. When using Best, only Contrast can be
adjusted.

• Normal (ATP): separates the foreground information in an image

(i.e., text, graphics, lines, etc.) from the background information (i.e.,
white or non-white paper background). When using Normal,
Threshold and Contrast can be adjusted.

• Draft (Fixed): used for black and white and other high contrast

documents. If Draft is selected, only Threshold can be adjusted.

52 A-61560 June 2006

Contrast — adjusts the difference between black and white, thereby
making an image sharper or softer. The difference between black and
white is small with a low contrast setting so the image is softer. With a
high-contrast setting, the difference between black and white is large,
so the image is clearer. Contrast values range from -50 to 50. The
default is 0.

Threshold — controls the level at which a pixel is considered black or
white (1 bit/pixel). A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and
can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information.
A high threshold value produces a darker image, and can be used to
help pick up light information. Threshold values range from 0 to 255.
The default is 90.

Threshold: 50 Threshold: 127

Filters - Noise

• Lone Pixel: reduces random noise on black and white images by

converting a single black pixel surrounded by white to white or by
converting a single white pixel surrounded by black to black.

• Majority Rule: sets the central pixel value in a matrix according to

the majority of white or black pixels in a matrix.

No Noise Filter Used Lone Pixel

A-61560 June 2006 53

Filters - Image

• Halftone Removal: enhances images containing dot matrix text and/

or images with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone
screens, and effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone
screen.

Invert Colors — defines whether the image should be stored in black
on a white background or white on a black background. The default is

black on a white background. If you want the image to be stored as
white on black background, check this option.

54 A-61560 June 2006

Adjustments tab: color or grayscale

The options available depend on the Scan As selection you made on
the General tab. The following options are based on a Scan As
selection of Color or Grayscale.

Brightness — changes the amount of white in the color or grayscale
image.

Contrast — makes the image sharper or softer.

Red — changes the amount of red in the color image. Does not apply

to grayscale images.

Green — changes the amount of green in the color image. Does not
apply to grayscale images.

Blue — changes the amount of blue in the color image. Does not apply
to grayscale images.

• Adjust these settings by dragging the slider bar to the left or right,

entering a value in the text box or using the up/down arrows. While
each setting may effect the underlying gamma table, Brightness and
Contrast are the options that provide the widest range of changes.

Background Smoothing — use this option when you are scanning
documents or forms with a background color(s). Background
Smoothing produces images with a more uniform color. This option
improves image quality and reduces file size.

• Method: select one of the following:

- None - no background smoothing will be done.

- Automatic - background smoothing is applied to the actual color.

- Change to White - identifies the background color and substitutes
that color with white.

A-61560 June 2006 55

• Apply to: available if you select the Change to White option.

- Predominant - smooths the predominant background color to
white.

- Neutral - smooths just the neutral color to white; will also smooth
two additional background colors to a uniform color.

- All - smooths up to three background colors to white.

• Aggressiveness: select a value to increase or decrease the effect.

Preview button — displays the scanned image in the Preview window
so you can see the effect of the changes you are making on the
Adjustments tab.

Enhancements tab The options on the Enhancements tab are available based upon your

Scan As selection on the General tab.

Image Edge Fill — fills the edges of a scanned image by covering the

area in Black or White, as selected from the Color drop-down list.
Image Edge Fill is performed after all other image processing options
have been applied.

Select All sides match to fill in an equal amount on all sides, or select
a value in the Top, Left, Right and/or Bottom area(s) from each side of
the scanned image to be filled.

When using this option, be careful not to enter a value too large as it
could fill in image data that you want to keep.

56 A-61560 June 2006

Blank Image Detection — use the arrows to select the image size
before which an image is determined to be blank. Images with sizes
less than the size number you select (ranges from 1 to 1000 KB) will
not be created. If you use this option, you must specify a blank image
size for each image type (black and white, grayscale and color) you
want to delete. The default is none, which means you keep all images.

Color Dropout — used to eliminate a form's background so that a
document management system may automatically - through OCR
(Optical Character Recognition) and ICR (Intelligent Character
Recognition) technology - read pertinent data without interference from
the lines and boxes of the form. Kodak Scanners can drop out either
red, green or blue. Color Dropout options are only available when
Black and White or Grayscale is selected from the Scan As drop-
down list on the General tab.

• Color: select the desired dropout color.

A-61560 June 2006 57

Advanced options The Advanced button is located at the top of the Image Settings

window next to the Side drop-down box.

When you select the three dots (...) button, the Advanced tab will be
displayed. Multiple, One - based on document content, and
configuring different settings for each side can all be set up using the
Advanced tab.

Input document is — select Two Side d , One sided - Front, or One
sided - Back depending on what side(s) you want to configure.

Different settings per side — by default, the settings you select in the

TWAIN datasource apply to both sides of the image. Check this option
if you want you to select different image processing settings for each
side of the document you are scanning. For example, if you want the
front side to be color and the rear side to be black and white, first make
sure that you have selected the Two Sided option from the Input
Document is drop-down list, then select the Different Settings per side
checkbox.

58 A-61560 June 2006

Once you have done this, the Side drop-down list on the Image
Settings window will no longer be grayed out and you can select
different settings for each side. Now that you have enabled Different
settings per side, your initial selections will apply only to the front side
of the document you are scanning. After you have made your
selections for the front side, use the Side drop-down list to select the
back side and then make the settings you want to apply to the back.

NOTE: The Different settings per side option is only available for

Kodak i1220 and i1320 Scanners.

Images per side — indicates how many images the scanner will create
for a side.

Images to Configure — by selecting One - based on document
content as the value in the Images per side drop-down box, you are

indicating that you want the scanner to automatically detect if the
document is color or black and white, and generate the image that
matches your selections. Refer to the examples later in this section to
see how to configure this.

Use the up and down arrows to select the order the images will be
delivered by the scanner to the scanning application.

Icons:

Adds an image type.

Allows you to change the image type.

Deletes the selected image type.

Done— returns you to the main Kodak Scanners window.

A-61560 June 2006 59

Content Settings tab The options on the Content Settings tab can be used for either single

stream or dual stream jobs.

Side — determines which side the Sensitivity settings are applied to.
This option is only available if Different settings per side is checked
on the Advanced tab.

Sensitivity — options are: Low, Medium, High, and Custom

.

• Low: documents requiring only a small amount of color to be saved
as color or grayscale images. Used for capturing documents that are
primarily black text with small logos, or contain small amounts of
highlighted text or small colorful photos.

• Medium: documents requiring more color, as compared with the Low
option, before they are saved as color or grayscale images.

• High: documents requiring more color, as compared with the Medium
option, before they will be saved as color or grayscale images. Used
for distinguishing documents containing medium- to large-size
colorful photos from plain black text. Photos with neutral colors may
require adjustments to the Color Threshold or Color Amount values in
order to be captured correctly.

60 A-61560 June 2006

• Custom: allows you to manually adjust the Color amount and/or
Color threshold.

NOTE: When setting Sensitivity values, it is suggested that you start

with the Medium option and scan a typical job set. If too
many documents were returned as color/grayscale vs. black
and white, then change to the High option and re-run the job.
If too few documents were returned as color/grayscale vs.
black and white, then change to the Low option and re-run
the job. If none of these options provide the desired result,
select Custom to manually adjust Color Amount and/or Color
Threshold. Custom also allows access to the Learn mode
which provides a method for the scanner to analyze
documents and recommend settings.

Color amount — the amount of color that needs to be present in a
document before it will be saved as either color or grayscale. As the
value of Color Amount increases, more color pixels are required. Valid
values are 1 to 200.

Color threshold — the color threshold or saturation (i.e., pale blue vs.
dark blue) at which a given color will be included in the color amount
calculation. A higher value indicates that a more intense color is
required. Valid values are 0 to 100.

Learn — if you select Custom, the Learn option is available.

1. Click Learn.

2. Place at least 5 representative color documents in the input tray and

click OK. These documents will be scanned and analyzed and the
recommended color amount will be calculated for you.

The Color Amount and Color Threshold sliders will be updated
automatically.

NOTE: These settings were calculated based on the representative

color documents scanned. If these values do not provide the
desired results with your job set, you may need to manually
adjust the Color Threshold.

Setting up automatic
color detection ­Example 1

In this example, let’s assume you want to configure a two-sided
document stream of mixed color business documents and want the
scanner to output either a color or a black and white image for each
side of a document based on the scanner detecting the amount of color
in each image. To configure this correctly do the following:

1. Click Advanced on the Image Settings window to display the

Advanced tab.

2. Select Two Sided from the Input document is drop-down box.

3. Make sure that the Different settings per side checkbox is not

checked.

4. Select One – based on document content from the Images per

side drop-down box. The Images to Configure area will now be
displayed on the Advanced tab and will contain a Color image item
and a Black and White image item. The Content Settings tab will
also be displayed.

5. If you want a grayscale image to be delivered instead of a color

image when enough color is detected in the document, click the
Change icon and select Grayscale.

6. Click the Content Settings tab. Unless you have selected the

Different Settings per side checkbox in Step 3, the Side drop-down
box on the Content Settings tab will read Both and be grayed out.

7. Click on the Sensitivity drop-down box and select the sensitivity you

want the scanner to use when looking for color in each document.
Low is the default, and will produce the fewest color images in the
document stream, while Medium and High will increase the number
of color documents produced. When finished, the Advanced tab will
look like this:

9. If you look on the Image Settings window, the Side drop-down box

will now have two entries: Both: Color (24 bit) and Both: Black
and White (1bit). Select one side and adjust the settings on the rest
of the tabs of the Image Settings window (General, Size,
Adjustments and Enhancements).

10.Then select the other side and make the appropriate selections for

that type of image. You may want to scan a test document using the
Preview window while you make these changes.

11. Save your Setting Shortcut and scan your test documents using the

Setting Shortcut you just set up. Review the resulting images to
determine if the scanner is detecting and outputting color
documents the way you want them. If you need to improve the
results, repeats Step 7-10, (changing the sensitivity setting), until
the get the results you want.

Setting Shortcut you just set up. Review the resulting images to
determine if the scanner is detecting and outputting color
documents the way you want them. If you need to improve the
results, repeat the steps above until the get the results you want.

NOTE: Other options may appear in the Images per side drop-down list.

These options are available to provide compatibility with certain
specialized scanning applications and normally are not used.
Do not use these options unless instructed to by Kodak
personnel.

66 A-61560 June 2006

The Device Settings window

The Device button is located on the Image Settings window. When you
select Device, the General and Multifeed tabs are displayed. From the
Device Settings window, you can also access Diagnostics.

General tab The General tab allows you to set scanner-specific transport control

options.

Paper Source — select the desired paper source.

• Automatic: looks for paper in the document feeder first. If there are

no documents in the input tray, the scanner will look for a document
on the flatbed.

• Document Feeder: when you are scanning documents from the
input tray.

• Flatbed: when you are scanning documents using the flatbed.

Power Saver — allows you to set the amount of time the scanner will
remain inactive before the scanner goes into an idle state. You can turn
the Power Saver option off or set a time up to 60 minutes. The default is
15 minutes.

Document Feeder

• Timeout: if you enable this option, you can set the amount of time the
scanner will wait (1 to 300 seconds) after the last document enters
the transport before the scanner initiates the action you selected
when the timeout occurs.

Diagnostics — provides access to the Diagnostics tab.

A-61560 June 2006 67

Multifeed tab Multifeed detection aids in document processing by detecting

documents that may go through the feeder overlapped.

Sensitivity — controls how aggressively the scanner will work to
determine if more than one document is fed into the transport. Multi­feeds are triggered by detecting air gaps between documents. This
allows multi-feed detection to be used with job sets containing
documents with mixed thicknesses. You may set the Multi-Feed
Detection to High, Medium or Low sensitivity. If you select None, no
multifeed detection will occur.

• Low: least aggressive setting and is less likely to detect labels, poor
quality, thick or wrinkled documents as multi-fed documents.

• Medium: use Medium sensitivity if your application has varying
document thickness or labels attached to the document. Depending
on the label material, most documents with labels should not be
detected as a multi-fed document.

• High: most aggressive setting. This is a good setting to use if all
documents are similar in thickness to 20-lb. Bond paper.

Length Detection — choose the minimum length of the document that
can be scanned with a multi-feed being detected. A value of 0 indicates
no length detection. Length detection can be used when scanning
same-size documents. The maximum value is 33.5 inches.

68 A-61560 June 2006

Action When Detected — select what action you want the scanner to
take when a multi-feed occurs. With all options, the error condition will
be logged and if you have enabled a sound via the Play sound on PC
option, the scanner will make the selected sound.

• Stop Scanning: when an overlap or multifeed is detected, the
scanner automatically stops scanning and clears the paper path.
Verify that the paper path has been cleared and restart the scan
session from the scanning application.

• Stop Scanning - leave paper in path: when an overlap or multifeed
is detected, the scanner automatically stops scanning. Clear any
documents from the paper path and restart the scan session from the
scanning application.

• Continue Scanning: when an overlap or multifeed is detected, the
scanner will make a sound (if enabled) and continue to scan.

Play sound on PC — check this option if you want the scanner to
make a sound when a multi-feed is detected. You can click the Browse
button to select the desired .wav file.

A-61560 June 2006 69

The Diagnostics window

The Diagnostics button is located on the Device Settings window.
When you select Diagnostics, you will have access to the General,
Debug and Logs tabs.

When finished viewing or making a change on one of these tabs, you
can click the Done button and return to the Device Settings window.

General diagnostics tab The General tab allows you to perform a scanner test and provides the

scanner time. While similar to the test that the scanner goes through
during power-on, this test is more extensive. If you have an optional A4
flatbed accessory attached, the Device drop-down box in the upper left
corner of the window will be enabled. You can choose either the

Document Feeder or Flatbed test.

Tests

• Scanner — similar to, but more extensive than, a power-on self test,
clicking this button will put the device through a series of checks to
determine that all the scanner hardware is working.

• Count only — check this box if you want to count the number of
documents entering the scanner transport without actually sending
the images to a scanning application.

Scanner Time

• Actual (GMT): displays the Greenwich Mean Time.

• Corresponding local time: displays the local time.

• Refresh icon : redisplays the current scanner time.

70 A-61560 June 2006

Debug tab The Debug tab allows you to store the communications between the

scanner and a scanning application to a file that can be reviewed later.
In addition, the resulting images (both before and after image
processing has been done) can be saved as well.

Logging — saves the communications between the scanner and a
scanning application to a file for later review. Click the drop-down box to
select from Off (the default), On or Custom. It is suggested that you do
not use the Custom setting, unless directed to do so by Kodak support
personnel.

Flag — by default, this is 1. Leave the flag at 1 unless instructed to use
another value by Kodak support personnel.

Filter — captures only those items in the scanner to the application
communication stream desired and filters out anything else. Options
are x, y and z.

Images - Received from the Scanner — normally, it is not necessary
to save the images received from the scanner before your selected
image processing options are applied. Use this checkbox when
instructed by Kodak support personnel.

• Save: click this checkbox to save raw images from the scanner
(before image processing is applied).

• File prefix: use a relevant file prefix to more easily find and sort the
saved images. Raw is the default.

• Held in memory: determines the number of images to save before
the images are overwritten. Normally, only one or two are needed.
Adjust as necessary.

A-61560 June 2006 71

Images - Sent To application

• Save: click this checkbox to save final images from the scanner (after
image processing is applied).

• File prefix: use a relevant file prefix to more easily find and sort the
saved images. Img is the default.

Delete — deletes any images that have been saved from previous jobs.

Logs tab The Logs tab allows you to view scanner hardware information, general

information or the stored communications between the scanner and a
scanning application. The later option requires that Logging be turned
on in the Debug tab of the Device Settings window. To view a particular
log, click the drop-down box in the upper left-hand corner and select a
log type. By default, only the General and Operator logs are displayed.

Save As icon — if you want to save the logs you see on the Logs
tab for later viewing outside of the TWAIN datasource, click the Save as
icon in the upper right-hand corner. If you enabled saving raw and final
images on the Debug tab, those images will also be saved with the logs
in a file.

72 A-61560 June 2006

Using the ISIS Driver The ISIS Driver is software that communicates with the scanner. This

driver is created and maintained by EMC Captiva and is provided with
the scanner by Kodak. Many scanning applications support ISIS drivers
and this driver can be used to interface with them.

This section provides descriptions of the options on the tabs of the main
ISIS Driver window and how to set these options.

For the purpose of this manual, all displayed windows assume the
features available on the Kodak i1220/i1320 Scanners. If you have a
Kodak i1210 or i1310 Scanner, all options are limited to one-sided
scanning only.

See the section entitled, “Starting the Scan Validation Tool” earlier in
this chapter to access the main ISIS Driver window.

The main ISIS Driver window

The main ISIS Driver window provides a set of 9 tabs. You can select
each of these tabs and make any choices necessary to meet your
scanning needs. The buttons on the bottom of the window apply to all
the tabs.

Default  when you select Default, the values will be reset to the
factory defaults.

Copy  this function is only available when scanning two-sided
documents. The Copy button provides a convenient way to set up the
color, grayscale or black and white image settings on one side and
transfer them to the other. For example, if you highlight and set up
Front Image #1, you can use the Copy button to duplicate those
settings for Back Image #2.

OK  saves the values set on all tabs.

Cancel  closes the window without saving any changes.

A-61560 June 2006 73

Main tab The Main tab provides the following options:

Image Mode

Camera — the selections in the Camera box list the available sides

(front and back) of an image where you can define individual image
processing values. Options include: Front Image #1, Front Image #2,
Back Image #1 and Back Image #2.

The Kodak Scanner drivers allow you to control the camera settings
independently. Some settings apply only to black and white images,
others apply to color/grayscale images. By selecting the appropriate
camera and image mode, you can control the scanner’s output.

Mode — provides the following options:

• Black and white: if you want your electronic image to represent all
elements of your document in black and white.

• Grayscale: if you want your electronic image to have a range of
varying shades of gray from black to white.

• Color: if you want your electronic image to be in color.

• Auto Detect Grayscale: sets auto color detect for grayscale. See
the section entitled, “Auto Color Detect tab” for more information.

• Auto Detect Color: sets auto color detect for color. See the section
entitled, “Auto Color Detect tab” for more information.

Dots per inch (dpi) or resolution  indicates the scanning resolution,
which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater
the resolution, the better the reproduction. However, scanning at a
higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size.

Choose a resolution value from the drop-down list. The default is 200
dpi. Available resolutions are: 75, 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400, 600
and 1200 dpi.

74 A-61560 June 2006

Cropping  allows you to capture a portion of the document being
scanned. All cropping options can be used with color/grayscale and
black and white images. Front and Back cropping are independent,
however, for dual stream scanning, color/grayscale and black and white
cropping must be the same per side. Only one cropping option can be
assigned per image. Select one of the following options:

• Automatic: dynamically adjusts the cropping window for different
document sizes based on the edges of the image.

• Aggressive: eliminates any residual black border on any image
edges. In order to achieve this, there is a possibility that a small
amount of image data from the edge of the document may be lost.

• Fixed to Transport: (used for batches of same-sized documents)
allows you to define the area to be imaged. Fixed to Transport
cropping is used in conjunction with paper size and page layout and
assumes you are center-feeding your documents. If you are not using
center feeding, you must select the Layout tab to define your scan
area. See the section entitled “Layout tab” later in this chapter.

• Relative to Document: (zone processing): (used for batches of
same-sized documents) — zone processing is a floating fixed crop
window (the zone) located relative to the upper left corner of a
document. It allows you to select an area on the document to be
delivered in either color/grayscale or black and white format (a
separate window for both black and white and color/grayscale may
be defined). Different parameters may be selected for both the front
and back of the image.

This option may be used in conjunction with Automatic cropping
where a separate color/grayscale or black and white area to be
saved is desired. It is useful in applications where a photograph,
signature, embossment or seal appears in a consistent area for an
application (you may want that small area in color/grayscale and the
rest in black and white). To define a zone, select the Layout tab.

Binarization — these options work on grayscale images and outputs a
black and white electronic image. Their strength lies in the ability to
separate the foreground information from the background information
even when the background color or shading varies, and the foreground
information varies in color quality and darkness. Different types of
documents may be scanned using the same image processing
parameters and results in excellent scanned images.

• 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. When using iThresholding, only Contrast
can be adjusted.

• Fixed Processing (FP): used for black and white and other high
contrast documents. If Fixed Processing is selected, only Brightness
can be adjusted.

A-61560 June 2006 75

• Adaptive Thresholding (ATP): separates the foreground
information in an image (i.e., text, graphics, lines, etc.) from the
background information (i.e., white or non-white paper background).
When using Adaptive Thresholding, Brightness and Contrast can be
adjusted.

Brightness — changes the amount of white in the color and grayscale
image. Use the slider to select a value from 0 to 255. The default is 90.

Brightness: 50 Brightness: 127

Contrast  adjusts the difference between black and white, thereby

making an image sharper or softer.

The difference between black and white is small with a low contrast
setting, so the image is softer. With a high contrast setting, the
difference between black and white is large, so the image is clearer.
Select a contrast value from 1 to 100. The default is 50.

Contrast 1

Contrast 60

Contrast 100

76 A-61560 June 2006

Layout tab The Layout tab provides these options:

Page Orientation — allows you to select the way you place your
documents in the scanner, Top First, Bottom First, Left first or Right
first. When using the Kodak i1200/i1300 Scanners, select Top First.

Image Orientation

• Automatic: if you select Automatic, the Page Orientation options

are not available.

• Portrait: displays the image orientation in the shape of a
conventional portrait, where height is greater than width.

• Landscape: displays the image orientation in the shape of a
conventional landscape painting, where width is greater than height.

Page size  the default page size is set when a scanner is first
selected. You can choose a different page size using the drop-down list
box.

Scan Area — displays the Scan Area dialog box. The Scan Area
options are only available for images when the cropping option is Fixed
to Transport or Relative to Document. See the section entitled
“Defining the scan area” later in the chapter for more information.

A-61560 June 2006 77

Image Processing tab The Image Processing tab displays the Image Mode and Mode

information that was previously described. Refer to the section entitled
“The main ISIS Driver tab” earlier in this chapter for descriptions.

Document Type - select one of the following based upon the
documents you are scanning:

• Text: when the documents you want to scan contain mostly text.

• Text with Graphics: when the documents you want to scan contain a
mix of text, business graphics (bar graphs, pie charts, etc.) and line
art.

• Photographs: when the documents you want to scan are comprised
mainly of photos.

• Text with Photographs: when the documents you want to scan
contain a mix of text and photos.

Media type — select one of the following options based upon the
texture/weight of the paper you are scanning. Available options are:
Plain Paper, Thin Paper, Glossy Paper, Card Stock, Magazine.

Options

• Deskew  automatically straightens a document within ±0.3
degrees of the leading edge of the document. Deskew can detect up
to a 45-degree skew and correct up to a 24-degree angle at 200 dpi
or a 10-degree skew angle at 300 dpi. This option is not available
when Fixed to Transport or Relative to Document is selected.

NOTE: To prevent data loss, the document must have all four

corners within the image path.

• Halftone Removal  enhances images containing dot matrix text
and/or images with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone
screens and effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone
screen.

78 A-61560 June 2006

• Invert Image  defines whether the image should be stored in black
on a white background or white on a black background. The default is
Black on White. If you want white on a black background, check this
option.

Black on White White on Black

• Add Border — allows you to add a fixed amount of border to the left,
right, top and bottom edge of the image.

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" in 4-point type) may cause information to be lost. It is
recommended that you do not use the Noise Filter when scanning
documents with text smaller than 7-point type.

Noise Filter can be used with black and white images only and is Front/
Back independent. Choose None, Lone Pixel or Majority Rule.

• Lone Pixel: reduces random noise on black and white images by
converting a single black pixel surrounded by white to white or by
converting a single white pixel surrounded by black to black.

• Majority Rule: sets the central pixel value in a matrix according to
the majority of white or black pixels in a matrix.

No Noise Filter Used Lone Pixel

A-61560 June 2006 79

JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group) Quality — this group
developed and lent their name to a file compression standard for color
and grayscale images that is widely used by scanners, digital cameras
and software applications. On Microsoft Windows-based systems, a file
with the extension .jpg has normally been compressed using this
standard. JPEG compression offers a JPEG quality of Draft, Good,
Better, Best and Superior.

• Draft: smallest file size with draft image quality.

• Good: larger file size with good image quality.

• Better: larger file size with better image quality.

• Best: larger file size with the best image quality.

• Superior: largest file size with superior image quality.

Scanner tab The Scanner tab provides the following options.

Paper Source — select the desired paper source:

• ADF: if you are scanning documents from the input tray.

• Flatbed: if you are scanning documents using the flatbed.

Transport timeout — allows you to set the amount of time the scanner
will wait after the last document enters the transport before the
transport timeout action is taken. You can specify a time delay setting
from 1 to 300 seconds.

Energy Star — allows you to set the amount of time the scanner will
remain inactive before the scanner goes into an idle state. Choices are:
0 to 60 minutes.

80 A-61560 June 2006

Blank image detection — select the image size (KB), below which an
image is determined to be blank. Images with sizes less than the
number you select will not be created. If you use this option, you must
specify a blank image size for each image type (Binary, Gray and
Color) you want to delete. If you do not make an entry in these fields,
all images are kept.

Multi-feed Detection options
Length Detection  this option can be enabled or disabled. The

default is disabled. If enabled, select the maximum length of the
document that can be scanned without a multi-feed being detected.
Length detection is used when scanning same-sized documents to
check for overlap. For example, if you are scanning 8.5 x 11-inch (A4)
documents in portrait mode, enter a value of 11.25 inches (28.57 cm) in
the Maximum Length field. The maximum value is 13.99 inches (35.56
cm).

• Auto Set: automatically sets the maximum length value to .50-inch
(1.27 cm) greater than the length of the currently selected page size.

Ultrasonic Detection — check this option to set multi-feed detection.
Sensitivity — controls how aggressively the scanner will work to

determine if more than one document is fed into the transport. Multi­feeds are triggered by detecting air gaps between documents. This
allows multi-feed detection to be used with job sets containing
documents with mixed thicknesses. You may set the Multi-Feed
Detection to High, Medium or Low sensitivity.

• Low: the least aggressive setting and is less likely to detect labels,
poor quality, thick or wrinkled documents as multi-fed documents.

• Medium: use Medium sensitivity if your application has varying
document thickness or labels attached to the document. Depending
on the label material, most documents with labels should not be
detected as a multi-fed document.

• High: the most aggressive setting. This is a good setting to use if all
documents are similar in thickness to 20-lb. Bond paper.

Action — select an option of how you want to the scanner to perform if
it detects a multi-fed document.

• Beep and continue: if selected, the scanner will beep, display and
log the condition but continue to operate.

• End of Job: if selected, the scanner log the condition and stop the
feeder and transport (the scanner will be disabled).

Alarm - select this option if you want the scanner to make a sound
when a multi-feed is detected. You can click the Speaker icon to
display the Open dialog box. From the Open dialog box, select the
desired .wav file and click OK.

Calibrate — the Kodak i1200/i1300 Scanners automatically calibrate.
This option is available if a Kodak representative directs you to calibrate
the scanner using this option.

A-61560 June 2006 81

Auto Color Detect tab The Auto Color Detect tab provides the following options.

Color Content — options are None, Low, Medium, High, and Custom

• Low: documents require only a small amount of color to be saved as
color or grayscale images. Used for capturing documents that are
primarily black text with small logos, or contain small amounts of
highlighted text or small colorful photos.

• Medium: documents require more color, as compared with the Low
option, before they are saved as color or grayscale images.

• High: documents require more color, as compared with the Medium
option, before they will be saved as color or grayscale images. Used
for distinguishing documents containing medium- to large-size
colorful photos from plain black text. Photos with neutral colors may
require adjustments to the Color Threshold or Color Amount values in
order to be captured correctly.

.

82 A-61560 June 2006

• Custom: makes the Color Amount and/or Color Threshold options
available.

NOTE: When setting Auto Color Detect values, it is suggested that

you start with the Medium option and scan a typical job set. If
too many documents were returned as color/grayscale vs.
black and white, then change to the High option and re-run
the job. If too few documents were returned as color/
grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the Low option
and re-run the job. If none of these options provide the
desired result, select Custom option to manually adjust Color
Amount and/or Color Threshold.

Color Amount: the amount of color that needs to be present in a
document before it will be saved as either color or grayscale. As the
value of Color Amount increases, more color pixels are required. Valid
values are 1 to 200.

Color Threshold: the color threshold or intensity (i.e., pale blue vs.
dark blue) at which a given color will be included in the color amount
calculation. A higher value indicates that a more intense color is
required. Valid values are 0 to 100.

84 A-61560 June 2006

Background Smoothing — use this option when you are scanning
documents or forms with a colored background. Background
Smoothing produces images with a uniform color. The benefit of using
this option is improved image quality and reduced file size.

• Background: select one of the following:

- None - no background smoothing will be done.

- Automatic - background smoothing is applied to the actual color.

- Change to White - identifies the background color and substitutes
that color with white.

• Apply to: select one of the following options:

- Predominant - smooths the predominant background color to
white.

- Neutral - smooths just the neutral color to white and two additional
background colors.

- All - smooths up to three background colors to white.

• Aggressiveness - select a value to increase or decrease the effect.

Image Edge Fill — fills the edges of a scanned image by covering the
area with the color selected in the Color drop-down list. Image Edge Fill
is performed after all other image processing options have been
applied.

Frame Mode — fills in an equal amount of the selected color from the
Image Edge Fill drop-down list on all sides of the image, or you can
select a value in the Top, Left, Right and/or Bottom area(s) from each
side of the scanned image to be filled.

When using this option, be careful not to enter a value too large as it
could fill in image data that you want to keep.

A-61560 June 2006 85

Dropout tab The Dropout tab displays the Image Mode and Mode information that

was previously described. Refer to the section entitled, “The main ISIS
Driver tab” earlier in this chapter for descriptions.

Electronic color dropout is used to eliminate a form’s background so
that a document management system may automatically — through
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and ICR (Intelligent Character
Recognition) technology — read pertinent data without interference
from the lines and boxes of the form. You can select the desired
dropout color, and alter the filter threshold and background.

Enable Dropout Color  the i1200/i1300 Series Scanners can drop
out red, green or blue. None is the default.

86 A-61560 June 2006

Log tab The Log tab provides a listing of any errors that have been

5 Maintenance

Cleaning the scanner Your scanner needs to be cleaned periodically. If your documents do

not feed easily, if several documents feed at the same time or if streaks
appear on your images, it is time to clean your scanner. The section
entitled, “Supplies and consumables” at the end of this chapter
provides a listing of the supplies required to clean your scanner.

IMPORTANT: Use only non-flammable cleaners such as those provided

through Kodak Parts Services. Do not use household
cleaners and solvents.

Do not use cleaners in confined areas, use with adequate

ventilation.

Do not use cleaners on hot surfaces. Allow surfaces to

cool to ambient temperature before use.

Opening the scanner cover

• Press the scanner cover release lever and pull the scanner cover
down.

• When you finish cleaning the scanner or replacing a part, close the
scanner cover.

NOTE: The scanner cover cannot be opened when the input tray is in

the closed position. The photo above shows the input tray has
been removed. To remove the input tray, gently push the input
tray to the right or left to release the pin from the slot, and lift the
input tray out of position.

IMPORTANT: Only use the tilt feature when the scanner cover is

closed.

Cleaning the rollers and transport

1. With a roller cleaning pad, wipe the feed rollers from side to side.

Rotate the feed rollers to clean the entire surface.

IMPORTANT: The roller cleaning pad contains sodium lauryl ether

sulfate which can cause eye irritation. Refer to the MSDS
for more information.

2. Dry the rollers with a lint-free cloth.

Cleaning or replacing the separation module

The separation module should be removed from the scanner for best
cleaning results.

NOTE: When removing or cleaning the separation module, it may be

easier to access the separation module if you remove the input
tray. To remove the input tray, gently push the input tray to the
left or right to release the pin from the slot, and lift it out of
position.

1. Push the separation module release lever down and lift the

separation module up and out of position.

A-61560 June 2006 91

2. Manually rotate and wipe the separation module tires with a roller

cleaning pad.

3. Inspect the separation module.

If the separation module tires show signs of wear or damage,
replace the tires or the separation module. See the next section for
procedures.

4. Insert the separation module by aligning the pins and placing it into

position.

92 A-61560 June 2006

Replacing the separation module tires

The i1200/i1300 Series Scanners use high quality tires that were
engineered to provide the ultimate in feeding reliability across the
broadest range of document types, sizes and thicknesses. When the
scanner is used in a normal office operating environment, the transport
and tires are cleaned using approved cleaning solutions on a regular
basis and the documents scanned are high quality 20 lb. bond office
paper, the tires can last up to 200,000 scans on the separation module
and 500,000 scans on the feed module. More difficult paper types,
challenging operating environments, less frequent cleaning or cleaning
the tires with alcohol or other strong solvents will cause reduced tire life.
Paper types such as carbon paper and newsprint are particularly
difficult and consistently making these documents a significant portion
of your workload will certainly shorten tire life. When you notice
degradation of feeder performance, multiple feeds, stoppages, etc., that
are not resolved by following the cleaning procedures described in this
chapter, you will need to change the tires.

NOTE: Tire life and performance will vary based on your unique

document set.

1. Remove the separation module.

2. Holding onto the separation module, rotate the release lever back

so you can access the separation roller.

A-61560 June 2006 93

NOTE: Use caution as the separation module is spring-loaded and

will snap back if you do not hold it in place.

3. Remove the separation roller from the separation module housing.

4. Remove each tire by sliding the tire off the core.

5. Install each new tire by gently pulling it over the core.

6. Replace the separation roller in the separation roller housing. Be

sure the separation roller snaps into place.

7. Reinstall the separation module.

94 A-61560 June 2006

Cleaning or replacing the feed module

Degradation of feeder performance, multiple feeds, stoppages, etc.
indicate a need to change the feed module. Certain paper types such
as carbonless paper or newsprint, or failure to clean regularly, and/or
use of non-recommended cleaning solvents (do not clean with alcohol)
can shorten the feed module life.

For additional feed modules, see the section entitled, “Supplies and
consumables” later in this chapter.

NOTE: The paper present sensor is located to the right of the feed

module. Be careful not to damage the paper present sensor
when removing or cleaning around the feed module.

1. Push against the raised edge of the feed module cover and lift it up

and out of position.

A-61560 June 2006 95

2. Rotate the feed module upward and push it to the left to lift it out of

position.

3. Manually rotate and wipe the feed module tires with a roller cleaning

pad.

4. Inspect the feed module.

If the feed module tires show signs of wear or damage, replace the
tires or the feed module. See the next section for procedures.

5. Using a vacuum or cleaning pad, remove dust and debris from the

feed module area.
