Preparing Documents for Scanning
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so that
the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under the
automatic paper feeder; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into
the scanner one at a time. Documents must be positioned face down
for scanning.
• Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner. Remove all
staples and paper clips before scanning.
• Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully through
the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every possible type of
damaged paper. If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document
can be transported through the scanner, place the document in a clear
protective sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded
edge first, while lifting the gap release lever.
NOTE:Use the optional dockable flatbed to scan damaged documents.
• When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the input tray guides
must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.
NOTE:Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that
represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most
common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is
achieved when scanning documents within the recommended
document specifications listed below. Scanning documents that are
outside of these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms
of scanner reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.

Color Image Quality Color image quality is highly subjective. Here are some things to consider
when scanning in color:
• The difference in the color outputs of scanners, printers, and monitors can
affect the perception of the scanned document.
• Computer displays and printer output can vary from model to model, and
from manufacturer to manufacturer. An image may be acceptable on one
display and unacceptable on another.
• Area lighting (fluorescent, natural, incandescent) can affect
color perception.
• The appearance of a colored area within an image can be perceived
differently, based on what surrounds it.
• The characteristics and condition of a document can have an impact on
color consistency.
• Color requirements may differ between environments (e.g., in a business
document environment, images are generally viewed on a monitor, whereas
in a “print on demand” environment, scanned images are printed).
To ensure that your scanner is delivering the best image:
• Clean the scanner. Contamination within the scanner degrades image
quality. (Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning information.)
• Calibrate the scanner occasionally and make sure that the calibration target
is clean and unwrinkled.
A-61167 September 2002 29

C-16 A-61167 September 2002
Imprinting Overview Many applications with capture needs up to 10,000 pages per day, particularly
in the finance, insurance, and public administration industries, require an
imprinter. Furthermore, forms processing applications in all areas can benefit
from the use of an imprinter.
The KODAK i200 Series Imprinter is unique in that the document print string
can be configured to include both literal (static) information (i.e., information
that stays the same for each document, such as batch name, scan station, or
operator) and dynamic information (i.e., information that may change for each
page scanned, such as sequential document number). Software controls static
fields; any information that the software allows you to enter can be sent to the
imprinter. The imprinter can be manually placed in 14 horizontal positions.
All imprinter controls and functions are accessible through ISIS and TWAIN
drivers. Imprinting must be enabled or disabled for each scan session.
A maximum of 40 characters, which can include any alphanumeric and special
characters from the printable character set (see chart below), is allowed.
Imprinter information is posted to an image header record, which is accessible
via the host computer.

Print Characters Characters can be printed in two orientations, Cine (no rotation) or Comic
(90q rotation), and two sizes, Small (regular) and Large (bold), and are
designed to fit seven characters per inch when printed in Comic orientation.
Imprinting cannot be done within 0.89 cm (0.35 in.) of the leading or trailing
edge of the document.
A-61167 September 2002 C-17
The resolution of the character fonts is 96 dpi across the width of the scanner.
However, the font resolution varies with the direction that the paper is fed into
the scanner. This variable allows the creation of an easy-to-read character
string. The approximate resolution of the printed output is shown below.
Resolution (dpi)
Small Large
Cine 85 dpi 63 dpi
Comic 115 dpi 85dpi
Changes to the print string, other than automatic, sequential number
advances, require a host command to restart the imprinter. You must
initiate a change between documents or batches. Changes cannot be done
automatically or between documents “on the fly.”
NOTE: The minimum document width for using the imprinter is
14 cm (5.5 in.).
