The Kodak i4250, i4650 and i4850 Scanners provide the ability to
process scanned images to improve their quality by using image
processing features.
Image processing refers to features of the scanner that allow you to
automatically adjust each image that may improve the resulting images
(e.g., correcting any skew in the fed document, cutting the edges of the
image off to remove unneeded borders or cleaning up extraneous
“noise” on the image).
The information in this guide provides procedures for using the TWAIN
Datasource as well as descriptions of the features. The same features
should be available on the user interface of the scanning application
you are using (e.g., Kodak Capture Pro Software).
Starting the Scan Validation Tool
1. Select Start>Programs>Kodak>Document Imaging>Scan
Validation Tool.
2. Select TWAIN for the Driver Type and the KODAK Scanner i4x50
as the driver.
The Scan Validation Tool dialog box will be displayed.
2 A-61839/TWAIN July 2016
The Scan Validation Tool dialog box
The Scan Validation Tool (SVT) is a diagnostic application provided by
Kodak Alaris. 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 the TWAIN Datasource.
NOTE: The Scan Validation Tool is not intended to be used as a
production scanning application. There are many full featured
applications that support the Kodak i4x50 Scanners. The Kodak
Capture Pro Software Limited Edition scanning application that
is included with this scanner is a good choice for basic
scanning. Kodak Capture Pro Software Limited Edition can be
upgraded to the full version of Kodak Capture Pro Software as
your scanning needs increase.

OK — saves any changes and closes the TWAIN Settings dialog box.
Using the TWAIN Datasource
The Kodak i4250, i4650 and i48 50 Scanners can provide a wide variety
of electronic images. This can be done by using the TW AIN Datasource
in concert with your scanning application. The TW AIN Datasource is
the part of the capture system which links the scanner to your scanning
application.
When using the TWAIN Datasource, the main 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. For more information, refer to the sections entitled, “Creating
a new Setting Shortcut” and “Changing image settings” later in this
guide.
6 A-61839/TWAIN July 2016
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 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 to set are available on these two
windows:
• Image Settings: clicking the Settings button on the main Scanner
window, displays the Image Settings window. From this window you
can set your image processing parameters by using the General,
Size, Adjust, Enhance and Detect tabs. 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, Transport, Multifeed and Patch tabs (if you have the
Enhanced Printer Accessory installed, the Printer tab will also be
available). 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 Scanner window and tabs are found in the section entitled, “The
main Scanner window”.
NOTE: Setting Shortcuts can sometimes be overridden by your
scanning application. If this happens, the shortcut you access
will appear in the main 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 Shortcuts, select No to this prompt
and continue scanning.
A-61839/TWAIN July 2016 7

Adjust tab: black and white The options available on the Adjust 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 affect how the scanner analyzes
a grayscale version of the document which is used to produce the black
and white electronic image.
• Best - Intelligent QC: this performs the same analysis as Best with
the additional benefit of Intelligent QC (Quality Control). For
challenging documents the grayscale version of the document is
produced, allowing you final control over image quality within your
application software.
NOTE:This option is not available with Kodak Capture Pro Software.
Limited Edition.
• Best (iThresholding): the scanner analyzes each document to
produce the highest quality image. This option allows scanning of
mixed documents with varying quality (e.g., 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 documents such that you cannot 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.
22 A-61839/TWAIN July 2016
Contrast — allows you to increase or decrease the difference between
darker and lighter areas of the image. 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.
NOTE: This is only available for Conversion quality: Best and
Conversion quality: Normal.
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. This options range from 0 to 255. The default is 9 0.
NOTE: This is only available for Conversion quality: Normal and
Conversion quality: Draft.
Text Enhancement — allows you to configure the scanner to improve
the appearance of text. Turn this option on if your document is mostly
text and the characters are disconnected or not smooth. This option
improves the readability of dot matrix printing and improves poor quality
characters if the font size and/or resolution is large/high enough.
NOTES:
• This may have no effect on small fonts and effectiveness may be
diminished if Thinning/Thickening is being used.
• If the font size is too small or the resolution is not high enough, this
option may cause characters to fill in.
Thinning/Thickening — allows you to make the lines and characters
appear to be thinner or thicker. Decreasing this setting will make the
lines and characters thinner/smaller. Increasing this setting will make
the lines and characters thicker/larger. The default is 0, no thinning or
thickening.
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 vice versa.

removed from a binder).
• On: turns hole fill on.
NOTE: Do not turn Hole Fill on if you are scanning photos.
Barcode Image Enhancement — allows you to configure the scanner
so it will optimize the barcodes for reading by your application.
The scanner will automatically find the 1D and 2D barcodes in a black
and white image and will apply special image processing to the
barcodes to make them easier for barcode reading after they are
scanned. Barcode Image Enhancement does not affect barcode
reading that is enabled in the TWAIN Datasource and ISIS Driver, as
the barcode reading functionality that Kodak Alaris provides is
performed using high resolution grayscale data during image
processing.
• On: turns barcode optimization on.

• Bottom: determines how much of the bottom edge will be filled in.
NOTE:When using Image Edge Fill, be careful not to enter a value
too large as it could fill in image data that you want to keep.
Streak Filter — allows you to configure the scanner to filter vertical
streaks from your images. Streaks are lines which may appear on an
image and are not part of the original document. Streaks may be
caused by contaminants on your documents (e.g., dirt, dust or frayed
edges) or by not following the recommended cleaning procedures for
your scanner.
• On: turns streak filter on.
• Aggressiveness: allows you to adjust the exte nt at which the streaks
are filtered. The values range from -2 to 2. The default is 0.
Color Dropout — used to eliminate a form's background so that only
the entered data is included in the electronic image (e.g., remove the
form’s lines and boxes). For black and white images, these settings
effect the grayscale version of the document which the scanner
analyzes to produce that electronic image.
• Color: select the desired dropout color.

content that the scanner will consider to be blank. Any image that
has more content than this value will be considered non-blank and
will be given to the scanning application. The values range from 0 to
100 percent.
A-61839/TWAIN July 2016 29
-: Content amount will be filled in with the amount of content in
the preview image. If you have a representative blank document
(e.g., blank sheet with letter head), this can be used to assist with
determining the setting for Content amount (i.e., perform a preview
scan, click this button, and adjust Content amount as appropriate).
NOTE: This option is only available when there is a preview image.
• Based on Si ze: images will be considered blank based on the size of
the image that would be given to the scanning application (i.e., after
all other settings have been applied).
- Final image size: allows you to select the minimum image size that
the scanner will consider to be non-blank. Any image that is less
than this value will be considered blank and will not be given to the
scanning application. The values range from 1 to 1000 KB (1 KB

Advanced Image Setup
Advanced tab The Advanced Image Setup icon is located at the top of the Image
Settings window next to the Side drop-down box.
When you select the Advanced Image Setup icon, the Advanced tab
will be displayed.
Input document is — select Two Sided, 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 apply
to both sides of the image. Turn this option on if you want 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.
32 A-61839/TWAIN July 2016
Once you have done this, the Side option 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 option to select the back side and then
make the settings you want to apply to the back.
Combine front and back images — typically, for a document, one
image is created for the front side and another image is created for the
back side. Turn this option on if you want one image that contains both
the front side and back side of the document. The selections are:
• Front on Top: front side will be above the back side within the imag e.
• Front on Bottom: back side will be above the front side within the
image.
• Front on Left: front side will be to the left of the back side within the
image.
• Front on Right: back side will be to the le ft of the front side within the
image.
NOTES:
• This option is only available when Input document is is set to Two
Sided, Different settings per side is turned off and Images per side
is set to One; and the document is scanned from the Document
Feeder.
• This option is not applied to the preview image.
• Scanner throughput will be reduce d when this op tion is ena bled. The
reduction will be affected by the capability of the host PC.
A-61839/TWAIN July 2016 33
White background — when turned on, indicates which side(s) of the
document will see white instead of black where there is no paper.
• (none): uses the black background for the front and back sides.
• Both Sides: uses the white background for the front and back sides.
• Front Only: only available when Input document is is set to One
Sided - Front.
• Back Only: only available when Input document is is set to One
Sided - Back.
The following are examples of when white background is used:
• Scanning non-rectangular documents and, in the final image, you
want the area outside the document to be white instead of black.
• Scanning lightweight or th in paper, with printing on one side, and you
do not want the black background to bleed through the document and
appear in the final image.
Images per side — indicates how many images the scanner will create
for a side, based on your imaging selections.
• One: indicates you want the scanner to create one image.
• One - Based on Document Content: indicates you want the
scanner to automatically detect if the document is color/grayscale or
black and white.
• One - Based on Toggle Patch: indicates you want to tell the
scanner, via a toggle patch document, if the document is color/
grayscale or black and white.
• Multiple: indicates you want the scanner to create more than one
image.
NOTE: If you select One - Based on Document Content from the
Images per side option, the Content Settings tab will be
displayed.

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 compared 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.
36 A-61839/TWAIN July 2016
• 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 (e.g., 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 elevator. The documents
will be scanned and analyzed to determine the recommended Color
amount.
NOTE: The 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.

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 multifed 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 multifed
document.
• High: the most aggressive setting. This is a good setting to use if all
2
documents have a thickness no greater than 75.2 g/m
(20 lb.) bond
paper.
NOTE:Regardless of the setting, “sticky” notes may still be detected
as multifed documents.
54 A-61839/TWAIN July 2016
Sensors — three sensors cover the width of the paper path. In order for
multifed documents to be detected correctly, they must pass under one
of these sensors.
• Left, Center, Right: this allows you to select which sensor(s) you
want to have turned on or off. For example, if you know that the left
side of the document has a “sticky” note on it, you can turn of f the left
sensor.
Length Detection — allows you to select the maximum length of the
documents in your job set. If the scanner detects a document longer
than this value, it will determine that a multifeed has occurred. You can
turn this option off.
Action When Detected — select what action you want the scanner to
take when a multifeed is detected. With all options, the condition will be
logged in the scanner.
• Stop Scanning: scanning will stop and control will return to the
scanning application (i.e., ends the job). Image(s) of the multifed
document will not be generated. Verify that the paper path has been
cleared and restart the scan session from the scanning application.
• Stop Scanning - generate image(s): scanning will stop and control
will return to the scanning application (i.e., ends the job). Image(s) of
the multifed document will be generated. Verify that the paper path
has been cleared and restart the scan session from the scanning
application.
• Stop Scanning - leave paper in path: scanning will stop
immediately (i.e., making no attempt to clear the paper path) and
control will return to the scanning application (i.e., ends the job).
Image(s) of the multifed document will not be generated. Clear any
documents from the paper path prior to restarting the scan session
from the scanning application.
• Stop Scanning - leave paper at exit: scanning will sto p and the last
portion of the multifed document will be held at the transport's exit,
and control will return to the scanning application (i.e., ends the job).
Image(s) of the multifed document will not be generated. Clear any
documents from the paper path prior to restarting the scan session
from the scanning application.
• Continue Scanning: the scanner will continue to scan. Image(s) of
the multifed document will be generated.
• Pause Scanning - generate image(s): scanning will stop but the
scanning application will be waiting for additional images (i.e., stops
the feeder). Image(s) of the multifed document will be generated.
Scanning may be resumed by pressing the Start/Pause button on
the Operator Control Panel. Scanning may be stopped by pressing
the Stop button on the Operator Control Panel or via the scanning
application.

• Pause Scanning - leave paper in path: scanning will stop
immediately (i.e., making no attempt to clear the paper path) but the
scanning application will be waiting for additional images (i.e., stops
the feeder). Image(s) of the multifed document will not be generated.
Clear any documents from the paper path prior to re suming the scan
session. Scanning may be resumed by pressing the Start/Pause
button on the scanner. Scanning may be stopped by pressing the
Stop button on the Operator Control Panel or via the scanning
application.
• Pause Scanning - leave paper at exit: scanning will stop and the
last portion of the multifed document will be held at the transport's
exit, but the scanning application will be waiting for additional images
(i.e., stops the feeder). Image(s) of the multifed document will not be
generated. Clear any documents from the paper path prior to
resuming the scan session. Scanning may be resumed by pressing
the Start/Pause button on the Operator Control Panel. Scanning may
be stopped by pressing the Stop button on the Operator Control
Panel or via the scanning application.
• Interactive Multifeed Re covery: scanning will stop but the scann ing
application will be waiting for additional images (i.e., stops the
feeder). Images of the multifed document will be displayed on your
computer. You can accept these images or rescan to replace them.
You can make your selection on your computer or by using the
Operator Control Panel. Send the images to your application and
resume scanning by selecting Accept. Selecting Rescan will discard
the images and scanning will resume. Scanning may be stopped by
selecting Stop.
NOTE: Put the multifed document(s) into the input elevator before
selecting Rescan.
Play sound on PC — turn this option on if you want the PC to make a
sound when a multifeed is detected. You can click the Browse button to
select the desired .wav file.
NOTE: The sound on the PC may not occur at the exact time the
multifeed is detected by the scanner.
