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 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).
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 i12XX/i13XX Scanner as the Driver. The Scan Validation Tool
dialog box will be displayed.
A-61560 April 2008 41
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. Start Scanning — scans the documents in the input tray.
Scan One Page — scans only one page.
Stop Scanning — ends the scan session.
License Key — displays the License Key window
No Image Display mode — closes the Image Viewer window
(no images will be displayed).
One Image Display mode — displays one image at a time.
Two Image Display mode — displays two images at a time.
Four Image Display mode — displays four images at a time.
Eight Image Display mode — displays eight images at a time.
42 A-61560 April 2008
Save Images to Files — when selected, will save the images to the specified directory.
Display Every enter the sampling rate of the images you want to 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.
Total ⎯ displays the total number of images scanned during the current 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 2008 43
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.
44 A-61560 April 2008
Selecting Image settings From 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.

A-61560 April 2008 57
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.
58 A-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: 50 Threshold: 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.
A-61560 April 2008 59
Adjustments tab: color or grayscale
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 Color or Grayscale.
Brightness — changes the amount of white in the color or grayscale image. The values range from -50 to 50. The default is 0.
Contrast — makes the image sharper or softer. The values range from
-50 to 50. The default is 0. Red — changes the amount of red in the color image. The values range
from -50 to 50. The default is 0. Does not apply to grayscale images. Green — changes the amount of green in the color image.The values
range from -50 to 50. The default is 0. Does not apply to grayscale images.
Blue — changes the amount of blue in the color image. The values range from -50 to 50. The default is 0. Does not apply to grayscale images.
Background Smoothing — using this option for documents or forms with a background color will help produce images with a more uniform background color. This option improves image quality and may reduce file size.
Method:
- (none) - no background smoothing will be performed.
- Automatic - smooths up to three background colors.
60 A-61560 April 2008
- Change to White - identifies up to three background colors and substitutes each color with white.

Content Settings tab The options on the Content Settings tab can be used for either one- or
two-sided 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
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 2008 67
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.

- Stop Scanning: scanning will stop and control will return to the
scanning application (i.e. ends the job).
Diagnostics — provides access to the Diagnostics tab.
Device - Multifeed tab Multifeed 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.

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.
86 A-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 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
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 2008 87
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.
88 A-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: 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 -50 to 50. The default is 0.
A-61560 April 2008 89
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.
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.
90 A-61560 April 2008

A-61560 April 2008 91
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.
92 A-61560 April 2008
Scanner tab The 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 is 13.99 inches (35.56 cm).
A-61560 April 2008 93
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.

Auto Color Detect tab The 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.

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.
