4Image Processing
OverviewThis 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 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 these image processing
features. The same options should be available on the use r interface of
the scanning application you are using (i.e., Kodak Capture Sof tware).
2. Select TWAIN (or ISIS) for the Driver Type and the Kodak Scanner
i12XX/i13XX Scanner as the Driver. The Scan Validation Tool
dialog box will be displayed.
A-61560 April 200841
Scan Validation
Tool dialog box
The Scan Validation Tool (SVT) is a diagnostic application provided by
Kodak. 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.
Toolbar buttons
Setup — displays the user interface for the selected driver.
Destination — allows you to select a directory to stor e scanned
images and their file names. This option is only available when
Save Images to Files is selected.

display while scanning. For example, to see every image, enter a value
of 1. To see every 10
th
image, enter a value of 10.

Scan Validation Tool session.
• To access the TWAIN datasource (or ISIS driver), double-click the
Setup icon on the Scan V alidation Tool dialog box to access the main
Kodak Scanner window.
Last File ⎯ displays the full path and file name for the last stored
image.
Using the TWAIN
datasource
The Kodak i1200/i1300 Series Scanners can provide a wide variety of
electronic images. This can be done by using the TWAIN datasource
Kodak provides in concert with your scanning application. The TWAIN
datasource is the part of the capture system which links the scanner to
your scanning application.
When using the TWAIN datasource, the main Kodak Scanner window
will display a list of Setting Shortcuts. Each Setting Shortcut is a group
of specific image and device settings. The supplied Setting Shortcuts
represent some common electronic image outputs used for a wide
variety of input documents. If none of the Setting Shortcuts meet your
scanning needs, you can create a customized Setting Shortcut. For
example, you could create a Setting Shortcut called “Invoices” and
whenever you want to scan invoices, you simply select that Setting
Shortcut.
If you are using the ISIS driver, see the se ction entitled, “Using the ISIS
driver” later in this chapter.
For the purpose of this manual, all displayed windows 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
A-61560 April 200843
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, TWAIN Image Processing Terminology for a cross reference of previous names with
new names.
How do I begin?The goal is to make scanning as simple as possible. This is
accomplished by selecting a Setting Shortcut from the main Kodak
Scanner window and then selecting OK/Scan.
The scanner comes with some Setting Shortcuts already defined. In
most cases, you will find that these shortcuts are all you will need. If you
find that you need different settings, then you should create your own
Setting Shortcut. Your shortcut will be added to the list of Setting
Shortcuts and available for all future scanning.
Most of the options you will want 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 Image Setup icon.
• 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 main Kodak Scanner window and tabs are found in the section
entitled, “The main Kodak Scanner window”.
NOTE: Setting 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 Setting Shortcuts and downloads
its preferred individual settings to the scanner first and then
provides access to the TWAIN datasource.
When you click OK to begin scanning, you will be asked if you
want to save the changed settings. When using an application
that does not use Setting Shortcut, select No to this prompt and
continue scanning.
44A-61560 April 2008
Selecting Image settingsFrom the main Kodak Scanner window:
1. Select a predefined Setting Shortcut from the Setting Shortcuts list.
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
your document, back of your document or both sides of your
document and make the selection from the Input document is dropdown 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.
NOTE: This only needs to be done if you want to make interactive
adjustments to your selected image processing options.

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 dif ferent
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 default Setting Shortcut,
click Save As on the main Kodak Scanner window. The Save As
dialog box will be displayed.

Adjustments t ab: black and
white
The options available on the Adjustments tab depend on the Scan as
selection on the General tab. The following options are based on a
Scan as selection of Black and White.
Conversion quality — these settings effect how the scanner analyzes
a grayscale version of the document which is used to produce the black
and white electronic image.
• Best (iThresholding): the scanner analyzes each document to
produce the highest quality image. This option allows scanning of
mixed documents with varying quality (i.e., faint text, shaded
backgrounds, color backgrounds) and when scanning with consistent
document sets.
• Normal (ATP): allows you to determine the optimal settings to
produce the desired image quality. This option works best when
scanning with consistent document sets. You may also want to use
this option if you have difficult d ocument s such that you canno t find a
Contrast setting for Best that produces the desired quality.
• Draft (Fixed): allows you to select the grayscale threshold used to
determine if a pixel is black or white. This option works best for high
contrast documents.
Contrast — allows you to make an image sharper or softer. Decreasing
this setting will make the image softer and reduce noise in the image.
Increasing this setting will make the image clearer and make light
information more visible. The options range from -50 to 50. The default
is 0.
58A-61560 April 2008
NOTE: This is not available for Conversion quality: Draft.
Threshold — aids in controlling the level at which a pixel is considered
black or white. Decreasing this setting will make the image appear
lighter, and can be used to subdue background noise. Increasing this
setting will make the image appear darker, and can be used to help pick
up light information. The options range from 0 to 255. The default is 90.
NOTE: This is not available for Conversion quality: Best.
Threshold: 50Threshold: 127
Filters
• Noise
-(none)
- Lone Pixel: reduces random noise by converting a single black
pixel to white when it is completely surrounded by white pixels or
by converting a single white pixel to black when it is completely
surrounded by black pixels.
- Majority Rule: sets each pixel based on its surrounding pixels.
The pixel will become white if the majority of the surrounding
pixels are white and visa versa.
•Image
-(none)
- Halftone Removal: enhances dot matrix text and images with
halftone screens (e.g., newspaper photographs).
Invert Colors — allows you to select how the black pixels will be stored
in the image. By default the black pixels are stored as black and the
white pixels are stored as white. Turn this option on if you want the
black pixels stored as white and the white pixels stored as black.
NOTE: You may want to change this option if your application
misinterprets the image data and stores your image in reverse
of what you expect.

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
• Low: documents requiring only a small amount of color to be saved
as color/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/grayscale images.
• High: documents requiring more color , as comp ared with the Medium
option, before they will be saved as color/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.
A-61560 April 200867
• 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/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 — allows you to calculate your settings based on representative
color documents scanned. Before selecting Learn, place at least 5
representative color documents in the input tray. The documents will be
scanned and analyzed to determine the recommended Color amount.
These Color amount and Color threshold sliders will be updated
automatically. If these values do not provide the desired results with
your job set, you may need to manually adjust the Color Threshold.

Diagnostics — provides access to the Diagnostics tab.
Device - Multifeed tabMultifeed detection aids in document processing by detecting
documents that may go through the feeder overlapped. Multifeeds can
happen due to stapled documents, adhesives on documents, or
electrostatically charged documents.
Ultrasonic Detection
Sensitivity — controls how aggressively the scanner will work to
determine if more than one document is fed into the scanner. Multifeeds are triggered by detecting air gaps between documents. This
allows multifeed detection to be used with job sets containing
documents with mixed thicknesses.
• (none)
• Low: least aggressive setting and is less likely to detect labels, poor
quality, thick or wrinkled documents as multi-fed documents.
• Medium: use if your job set has varying document thicknesses 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 have a thickness no greater than 20-lb. bond paper.
NOTE:Regardless of the setting, “sticky” notes may still be detected
as multi-fed documents.
Length Detection — allows you to select the maximum length of the
documents in your job set. If the scanner detects a document of that
length or longer , it will determine that a multifeed has occurred. You can
turn this option off or set a length up to 34.5 inches.

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.
Diagnostics - Logs tabThe 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 p articular
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.
A-61560 April 200885
Toolbar buttons
Save As — saves all the logs for viewing by Kodak support
personnel. When selected, you will be prompted for the location
to save the logs along with the option of including any debug
images.
Refresh: refreshes the currently displayed log.
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.
86A-61560 April 2008
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.
Main tabThe 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
• 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.
A-61560 April 200887
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 dua l 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
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.
88A-61560 April 2008
• 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: 50Brightness: 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 -50 to 50. The default is 0.
A-61560 April 200889
Layout tabThe 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.
Scan Area — displays the Scan Area dialog box. The Scan Area
options are only available for images when the cropping option is Fixed to Trans port or Relative to Document. See the section entitled “Scan
Area dialog box” later in the chapter for more information.
90A-61560 April 2008
Image Processing tabThe 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
• Text: when the documents you want to scan contain mostly text.
• T ext with Graphics: when the document s 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.
A-61560 April 200891
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.
• Invert Image⎯ allows you to select how the black pixels will be
stored in the image. By default the black pixels are stored as black
and the white pixels are stored as white. Turn this option on if you
want the black pixels stored as white and the white pixels stored as
black.
NOTE:You may want to change this option if your application
misinterprets the image data and stores your image in
reverse of what you expect.
• Add Border — allows you to add a fixed amount of border to the left,
right, top and bottom edge of the image.
Noise Filter
•(none)
• Lone Pixel: reduces random noise by converting a single black pixel
to white when it is completely surrounded by white pixels or by
converting a single white pixel to black when it is completely
surrounded by black pixels.
• Majority Rule: sets each pixel based on its surrounding pixels. The
pixel will become white if the majority of the surrounding pixels are
white and visa versa.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group) Quality — if you choose
JPEG compression, select one of the quality options:
• Draft: maximum compression which produces the smallest image
size.
• Good: a fair amount of compression but still produces acceptable
image quality.
• Better: some compression which produces decent image quality.
• Best: minimal compression which produces very good image quality.
• Superior: the least amount of compression which produces the
largest image size.
92A-61560 April 2008
Scanner tabThe Scanner tab provides the following options.
Paper Source
• ADF: if you are scanning documents from the input tray.
• Flatbed: if you are scanning documents using the flatbed.
Trans port 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.
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 is13.99 inches (35.56
cm).
A-61560 April 200893
• 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.
- 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 no greater than 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 dire cts you to calibrate
the scanner using this option.
94A-61560 April 2008
Auto Color Detect tabThe Auto Color Detect tab provides the following options.
Color Content
• 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.
A-61560 April 200895
• Custom: makes the Color Amount and/or Co lor 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.
Learn — if Low, Medium and High options d o not give you the desired
results, use the Learn option.
1. Click Learn and follow the prompts.
2. Place at least 5 representative color documents in the input tray and
click OK. These documents will be analyzed and the recommended
color amount will be calculated for you.
3. Write down the Color Amount and Color Threshold values that
are displayed in the dialog box as these are the settings you will be
required to use in your application.
NOTE: These settings were calculated based on the representative
color documents scanned. If these values do not provide the
desired results with your production job set, you may need to
manually adjust the Color Threshold.
