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

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

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

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

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

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

• Take sufficient breaks to maintain mental alertness.

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

Supervisors should review their practices and make compliance with these precautions as a part of the job description for operation of the Kodak i55/i65 Scanners or any mechanical device.

Making connections The Kodak i55/i65 Scanners can accommodate either a USB or SCSI

connection. Depending upon whether you are connecting USB or SCSI, go to the one of the following sections.

USB connections

Verifying for a USB port After you install the Kodak Driver Software, check for the presence and

version of a USB port.

• Select USB Test.

The USB verification tool will check your operating system and hardware capability to determine if you need to install a USB card.

• If a functioning USB 2.0 port is present, the following window will be displayed. Click OK and proceed with the next section.

• If your PC does not have a USB 2.0 port installed, you should install a USB 2.0 Accessory card..:

• If you get any message other than either of the messages above, see the section entitled, “USB connection issues” in Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.

12 A-61527 May 2006

Connecting the USB cable IMPORTANT: If you have not installed the Kodak Driver Software,

do that now before proceeding.

The following instructions explain the connection of the USB cable between your scanner and PC. You need to identify the USB port on your PC. If you installed a USB 2.0 card, use that port, otherwise use the USB port on your PC.

The USB cable supplied with your scanner has two different ends.

1. Attach the B end of the USB cable to the scanner USB port, located

on the back of the scanner.

2. Attach the A end of the USB cable to the proper USB port on your

PC.

A-61527 May 2006 13

SCSI connections IMPORTANT: Be sure the PC is off while you are doing the steps in

the “SCSI connections” section.

Connect the SCSI signal cable as shown below.

1. Attach a SCSI cable to the SCSI port.

NOTE: There are two SCSI ports on the scanner. This is a SCSI II

pass-through connection. Plug the SCSI cable into either port using a 50-pin, high-density connector to connect to the scanner.

2. Attach the other end of the SCSI cable to your PC SCSI port.

SCSI interface device ID Kodak does not recommend several devices on a SCSI chain with our

scanner. However, if there is more than one SCSI device on the chain, you may need to adjust the SCSI ID selector on the scanner. This selector assigns a specific device ID to the scanner. If the assignment conflicts with an existing SCSI device, select a new ID.

NOTE: The factory SCSI ID setting for the scanner is 6. SCSI ID 0 is

usually assigned to an internal hard disk drive and 7, 8, and 9 are used for diagnostic purposes. The scanner will not operate properly if the SCSI ID is set to 7, 8, or 9.

• Using a suitable tool, turn the SCSI ID selector switch until the arrow points to the desired ID number.

14 A-61527 May 2006

Setting the SCSI terminator The scanner comes with a built-in SCSI terminator. The terminator ON/

OFF switch is located on the scanner between the SCSI cable connectors.

• If the scanner is the only or the last device in a SCSI chain, place the terminator switch in the ON position.

• If the scanner is to be located between the computer and another SCSI device, place the terminator switch in the OFF position. Kodak does not recommend the scanner to be connected between devices in a SCSI chain.

Connecting the power cord to the scanner

When the drivers have been installed, connect the power supply and power cord to the scanner. Make sure that the power outlet is located within 1.52 meters (5 feet) of the scanner and is easily accessible. Before proceeding, be sure the power to the scanner is off.

4 Image Processing

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

Kodak i55 and i65 Scanners provide the ability to process scanned images to improve their quality. Using these features the scanner can sometimes make the scanned image look better than the original document. Basic image processing concepts are reviewed in this chapter to help you take advantage of these powerful features.

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

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

Common terms Following are a few common terms that are used throughout this

chapter:

Bi-tonal or Binary — black-and-white.

Color — full color image, grayscale is derived from the color scan.

Simplex — indicates that only one side of the document (the front side)

will be scanned, creating a single page image.

Duplex — indicates that both sides of the document will be scanned, creating two page images.

Cameras — it is important to understand the concept of “cameras”, the component in the scanner that is used to scan your documents.

The Kodak i55 Scanner is a simplex scanner. The camera has the ability to separate color and bi-tonal/binary data simultaneously. This means it scans one-sided documents; a front color image and a front bitonal/binary image, allowing you to capture one side of a document either in color/grayscale or black-and-white at the same time.

The Kodak i65 Scanner is a duplex scanner. The cameras have the ability to separate color and bi-tonal/binary data simultaneously. This means it scans both sides of a two-sided document; a front color image, a rear color image, a front bi-tonal/binary image, and a rear bitonal/binary image, allowing you to capture both sides of a document in either color/grayscale, black-and-white, or a combination of color/ grayscale and black-and-white.

30 A-61527 May 2006

When you use the Kodak Scan Validation Tool, you will need to select which camera(s) you want to use to scan your document to get the desired results. You can use the following examples as a guide when making camera selections.

Making camera selections

When you launch the Kodak Scan Validation Tool, you will be making selections on the dialog boxes to set up your images for scanning test documents. Both TWAIN and ISIS have camera selection boxes that refer to the cameras within the scanners. Following are some examples of choosing the correct camera for the desired results. For the purpose of these examples, the TWAIN Datasource has been used.

Example 1: scanning a two-sided color document both sides in

color

If you want to scan a two-sided color document, make your camera selections as follows:

Camera selection Result - Side 1 Result - Side 2

• Select both Front Color and Rear Color. Depending on which camera (in this example, Front Color) is highlighted, will depend on which side of the document is scanned first. The result is two images in color.

Example 2: scanning a two-sided color document, front side only

in bi-tonal

If you want to scan only the front side of a color document in black-andwhite, make your camera selections as follows:

Camera selection Original - Side 1 Result - Side 1

• Select and highlight Front Bitonal. The resultant image will be the front side of the document in black-and-white.

Using the TWAIN Datasource

The TWAIN Datasource is a piece of software that communicates with your Kodak Scanner. It is provided with the i55 and i65 Scanners. Many scanning applications support the TWAIN standard and this datasource can be used to interface with these applications.

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

For the purpose of this manual, all displayed dialog boxes assume the features on the Kodak i65 Scanner (duplex scanner). If you have a Kodak i55 Scanner (simplex scanner) options are limited to simplex scanning only.

Kodak Scanner Properties dialog box

Buttons on the Kodak Scanner Properties dialog box

The Kodak Scanner Properties dialog box allows you to review and configure the scanner’s settings. It consists of several tabbed windows each of which will be described within this chapter. Click on each tab to set all the desired values. You do not have to click OK until you have made all selections on all of the tabs.

The buttons at the bottom of the dialog box are described below:

Defaults  when you select Defaults, the message Reset all values to factory defaults? will be displayed. Clicking Yes on this message

will reset all values on all tabs to the factory default settings.

Copy  copies the settings of the front camera to the rear camera for the selected camera (bi-tonal, color or grayscale). For example, if you have Front Bi-tonal highlighted, these values will be copied to the Rear Bi-tonal camera. If you have Front Color highlighted, these values will be copied to the Rear Color camera. This option is only available for the Kodak i65 Scanner.

OK  saves the values set on all tabs.

Cancel  closes the dialog box without saving any changes.

34 A-61527 May 2006

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

that can be applied to your scanner.

The Camera Selection box  lists the available sides (front and rear) of any document where you can define individual image processing values. For detailed information about the cameras, refer to the beginning of this chapter, “Making camera selections”.

On the Kodak i65 Scanner there is a separate camera for each side of the document being scanned. The Kodak Scanner drivers allow you to control the camera settings independently. Some settings apply only to bi-tonal images, other settings apply to color images. By selecting the appropriate camera and image type you can control the scanner’s output.

• If you have a Kodak i55 Scanner, you can select either Front Color and/or Front Bi-tonal. This means you can scan the front side of a document depending on how the documents are placed in the feeder and create one or two images.

• If you have a Kodak i65 Scanner, you can select any individual camera (i.e., Front Color, Rear Color, Front Bi-tonal and/or Rear Bi-tonal) or any combination of the cameras. This means you can scan the front side, rear side or both sides of a document and create between one and four images.

• Whatever is highlighted in the Camera Selection box determines the values available on the Imaging, Paper, Compression and Dropout tabs.

NOTE: What is highlighted is not necessarily selected. Make sure

that the highlighted area you are making changes to is on the selected camera if you want to see these settings reflected in the final image.

A-61527 May 2006 35

Scanning bi-tonal images Bi-tonal images are scanned images that are made up of only black-

and-white elements. The descriptions below are for bi-tonal images only.

Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a bi-tonal image. There are several different methods of performing this conversion. Two of the options Kodak provides are iThresholding and Adaptive Threshold Processing.

These options are applied to grayscale scanned images and output a bi-tonal electronic image. Thresholding and Adaptive Threshold Processing 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 still result in excellent scanned images.

• iThresholding: selecting 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 may be adjusted.

• Adaptive Thresholding (ATP): the Adaptive Threshold Processor 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, Threshold and Contrast may be adjusted.

36 A-61527 May 2006

When Adaptive Thresholding is selected, Contrast values may range from 1 to 100.

Fixed thresholding ATP

disabled

ATP enabled

Fixed Processing  used for black-and-white and other high contrast

documents. A single level is set to determine the black-and-white transition. The threshold is programmable over the entire density range. Fixed thresholding sets Contrast to 0. If Fixed Processing is selected, Contrast is not available.

64-Level Bayer Dither, 64-Level 45 Degree Clustered Dot Screen

and 64-Level Dispersed Dot Screen  represent alternative screening options to emulate a grayscale image.

Noise Filter  occasionally small dots or specks appear in the background of a scanned image. These specks increase file compression size and usually contain no image information. Using the Noise Filter on documents containing very fine detail (e.g., the dot on an "i" in 4-point type) may cause information to be lost. It is recommended that you do not use Noise Filter when scanning documents with text smaller than 7-point type.

Noise Filter can be used with bi-tonal images only and is front/rear independent. Choose (none), Lone Pixel or Majority Rule.

• Lone Pixel reduces random noise on bi-tonal images by converting a single black pixel surrounded by white to white or by converting a single white pixel surrounded by black to black.

A-61527 May 2006 37

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

No Noise Filter Used Lone Pixel

Image Filter  used to enhance images containing dot matrix text and/

or images printed with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens. This filter effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone screen. Choose (none) or Halftone Removal.

• Halftone Removal is used to enhance images containing dot matrix text and/or images with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens. This filter effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone screen.

Contrast %  sets the image contrast by adjusting the difference between black-and-white, thereby making an image sharper or softer.

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

Contrast 1

Contrast 60

Contrast 100

Adjust the contrast setting by dragging the Contrast sliding bar to the left or right to achieve the desired contrast setting, or you can enter a value (1 to 100) in the Contrast text box. Scan the document to check the contrast.

38 A-61527 May 2006

Threshold  used to convert a grayscale image to a bi-tonal image. The thresholding value is an integer ranging from 0 to 255. A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information. A high threshold value produces a darker image, and can be used to help pick up faint images.

Adjust the threshold setting by dragging the Threshold sliding bar to the left or right to achieve the desired threshold setting, or you can enter a value (0 to 255) in the Threshold text box. Scan the document to check the threshold.

200 dpi; 80 Threshold

20 Contrast

200 dpi; 80 Threshold

100 Contrast

Resolution or dots per inch (dpi)  indicates the scanning resolution,

which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater the resolution, the better the reproduction. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size. The industry standard is 200 dpi (about 8 pixels/mm).

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

600.

Polarity  the host PC provides information to the scanner defining whether the image should be stored in standard or reverse polarity. The default polarity is Black on a White background. Reverse polarity is White on a Black background.

Black on White polarity White on Black polarity

The Paper tab The Paper tab allows you to define values relating to image output (i.e.,

cropping values, rotation, paper size and units of measure).

Camera selection box  lists the available sides of an image that you can define individual image processing values.

The display window on the right will display the cropping area you are altering. The cropping area will change as values are being altered.

Cropping values Cropping allows you to capture a portion of the document being

scanned. Cropping options can be used independently with color/ grayscale and bi-tonal images and are also front and rear side independent, however for simultaneous output scanning color/ grayscale and bi-tonal cropping must be the same per side.

• On an i55 Scanner one cropping option can be assigned per document.

• On an i65 Scanner two cropping options can be set per document.

Cropping  select one of the following options:

• Automatic: dynamically adjusts the cropping window for different document sizes based upon the edges of the image. Use this option for batches of mixed-sized documents.

• Aggressive: selecting this option will eliminate any residual white/ gray border on any image edges. When using Aggressive cropping, there is a possibility that a small amount of image data from the edge of the document may be lost.

A-61527 May 2006 43

• 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 bi-tonal format (a separate window for both bi-tonal and color/grayscale may be defined). Different parameters may be selected for both the front and rear of the image.

This option may be used in conjunction with Automatic cropping

where a separate color/grayscale or bi-tonal 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 bitonal).

• Fixed to Transport (used for batches of same-sized documents): allows you to define the area or zone to be imaged. If you select this option, enter the x and y offset values, width and length. You can enter the desired values in the fields or use the arrow keys to define the desired area. The Display window will show image placement as you change the values.

The following options are only available when Fixed to Transport or Relative to Document is selected.

- X-Offset  the distance from the left end of the scanner to the left edge of the scanning area.

- Y-Offset — the position from the top end of the document to the top end of the scanning area.

- Width — the width of the scanning area.

- Length — the length of the scanning area.

- Center Frame  automatically calculates the x-offset for centerfed feeding based upon document size selected.

- Rotate Frame  automatically calculates the offset values based upon feed orientation of the document size selected (landscape vs. portrait).

NOTES:

• You can scan documents longer than 35.56 cm (14 in.) and less than 86 cm (34 in.) when the host PC is configured with adequate memory (see “System requirements” for more information).

• Automatic and Relative to Document cropping in Flatbed mode work well in most cases. When the scanner cover is removed to accommodate large magazines, books, or other bound material or when the flatbed glass becomes dirty, Automatic cropping performance may not be as desired. In these cases, you might try using the Image Edge Fill option or scanning in Fixed cropping mode and more carefully aligning the document on the flatbed.

44 A-61527 May 2006

Automatic Deskew  select this option to automatically deskew a document within ±0.3 degrees of the leading edge of the document. This option is only available if you have Automatic cropping selected.

Image Edge Fill — fills the edges of a scanned image, after all other image processing options have been applied, by covering the area in Black or White (as selected). Select a value in the Top, Left, Right and/or Bottom area(s) from each side of the scanned image to be filled.

NOTE: When using this option, be careful not to enter a value too large

as it could fill in image data that you want to keep.

Additional paper selections In addition to cropping values that can be applied using the Paper tab,

the following options are available:

Preset Front/Rear Size  the default paper size is set when a scanner is first selected. You can choose a different paper size using the dropdown list box.

Units  defines the primary measurement system. Inches, Centimeters, Picas, Points, 20th of Points, and Pixels are available.

A-61527 May 2006 45

The Compression tab Compression squeezes a file to decrease the total size. Bi-tonal images

are normally compressed using a CCITT standard called Group IV, often used in conjunction with TIFF files. Color and grayscale images are often compressed using JPEG techniques.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a file format standard commonly used for bi-tonal images. It is often used in conjuction with the CCITT Group IV compression standard to reduce image file size. Color and grayscale images can be saved in this format too, but they are often found uncompressed and are, therefore, quite large. Use the Compression tab to select compression settings.

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

Camera Selection box  lists the available sides (Front Color, Rear Color, etc.) of an image that you can define individual image processing values.

Compression  the i55/i65 Scanners can be configured to output bi- tonal, grayscale, and color images in various supported formats and resolutions independent of each other and each side of the image. These options vary based on the type of scanner.

For bi-tonal scanning the following compressions are available:

• CCITT Group 4 TIFF

• (none) uncompressed TIFF

46 A-61527 May 2006

The following color/grayscale compression options are available:

• JPEG — JPEG compression offers a JPEG quality of Draft, Good,

Better, Best, Superior.

- Draft: smallest file size with draft image quality

- Good: larger file size with good image quality

- Better: larger file size with better image quality

- Best: larger file size with the best image quality

- Superior: largest file size with superior image quality

• (none) produces an uncompressed bitmap.

The Dropout tab Electronic Color Dropout is used to eliminate a form’s background so

that a document management system may automatically — through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) technology — read pertinent data without interference from the lines and boxes of the form. The i55/i65 Scanners can dropout either red, green or blue. The Dropout tab allows you to select the desired dropout color and alter the filter threshold and background.

Camera Selection box  electronic color drop-out is available only for bi-tonal and grayscale images.

Color Dropout  choose the color you want to eliminate: (none) Remove Red, Remove Green, Remove Blue.

Filter Threshold  the value that is used to identify the color which will

be dropped out. This value is applied to the color area. Color with a Red/Green/Blue component more than the entered value is dropped. This setting determines how much of the selected color is dropped out. A lower value will leave more of the selected color in, while a higher value will drop more of the selected color out.

Background  this value will be substituted in the grayscale (pre- thresholded) image for the color being removed. Therefore, this value should be higher than the threshold value selected on the Imaging tab for this pixel to become the background color. For example, if you are scanning a white document with a green form and you have selected a bi-tonal threshold value of 127, you should choose an electronic color drop-out background value greater than 127 so the substituted pixel will be white in the dropped-out image.

48 A-61527 May 2006

The Multifeed tab Multi-feed Detection aids in document processing by detecting

documents that may go through the feeder overlapped.

Length Detection  choose the minimum length of the document that can be scanned with a multi-feed being detected. The Display window will show the size of the document as you change the value. You can select to display this amount in Inches, Centimeters, Picas, Points, 20th of Points or Pixels. A value of 0 indicates no length detection. Length detection is best used when scanning same-sized documents.

Multifeed Stops Scanning  if this option is not selected, the scanner will log the condition but continue to operate. You can choose the sound you would like the PC to make to alert you of a multifeed.

To choose a sound:

• Click on the Browse button and choose the desired .wav file.

A-61527 May 2006 49

The Options tab The Options tab allows you to set Image Transfer and Transport

control.

Image Transfer Order  if you are using simultaneous output scanning (bi-tonal and color/grayscale) for either side, this option controls the order in which the scanner returns image data. For example, if you are scanning color and bi-tonal and you select Bi-tonal Image, the scanner will return the bi-tonal front image, then the front color image.

Transport Timeout  allows you to set a transport timeout value. This value is 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 30 seconds.

Energy Saving Features of Scanner  allows you to set the amount of time the scanner will remain inactive before the scanner goes into an idle state. Choices are: (none) and 5 to 60 minutes. The default is 15 minutes.

Blank Image Detection — use the slider bar to specify the image size (KB), below which an image is determined to be blank. Images with sizes less than the size number you select will not be created. If you use this option, you must specify a blank image size for each image output type (Bi-tonal, Grayscale and Color) not just one. The default for this option is None, which means that you will keep all images.

50 A-61527 May 2006

The Setup tab The Setup tab allows you to download firmware and set the scanner

clock. The Setup tab is only available wh en running the Scan V alidatio n

Tool, via the TWAIN Datasource.

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

OK  saves the values set on all dialog boxes.

Cancel  closes the dialog box without saving any changes.

Camera Settings area

The selections in the Camera area list the available sides (front and back) of an image where you can define individual image processing values. Options include: Front Color, Front Binary, Back Color and Back Binary. For detailed information about Camera selection, see the section entitled, “Making camera selections” earlier in Chapter 4.

On the Kodak i65 Scanner there is a separate camera for each side of the document being scanned. The Kodak Scanner drivers allow you to control the camera settings independently. Some settings apply only to binary (black-and-white) images, others apply to color/grayscale images. By selecting the appropriate camera and image type, you can control the scanner’s output.

When starting the configuration process, use the steps below as a guide:

1. Check the images you wish to capture (Enable camera settings).

2. Select the order to transfer the images (Color First or Binary First).

3. Configure each image by highlighting it (Configure).

Enable camera settings  select the desired checkbox to enable the Front Color, Front Binary, Back Color or Back Binary settings as desired. This indicates the images you wish to capture and transfer to the host PC. (It is possible to capture only rear images.) Enable your selection by putting a checkmark in the desired box.

Color First/Binary First  define the transfer order by selecting the Color First or Binary First radio button. This determines which image

is transferred to the host PC first when using simultaneous output scanning. For example, if you are scanning front color and front binary and you select Binary First the scanner will return the front binary image, then the front color image.

54 A-61527 May 2006

Configure  highlight the image you want to setup. As you select the image, other options will become available on the Scanner Settings dialog box. The availability of these options is dependent upon the selection you make.

Convert Color to Grayscale  this option is only available when configuring color cameras. When selected, the scanner will convert the color image data to grayscale before making it available to the host PC.

Image Processing settings The other options on this dialog box allow you to define image

processing values that can be applied to your scanner.

Scan Source  the host PC provides information to the scanner defining whether to scan one or both sides of the document. Simplex indicates that only one side (front side) of the document will be scanned. Simplex – Back indicates that only one side (back side) of the document will be scanned. Duplex indicates that both sides of the

document will be scanned.

Also select one of the following options:

• ADF: select this option when using the scanner in continuous feed mode.

• Flatbed: select this option when using the flatbed for scanning documents that cannot be scanned when used the automatic document feeder, such as thick or bound documents (books).

• ADF/Flatbed: if you select this option, and no documents are in the ADF, the scanner will automatically use the flatbed.

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 and

600.

A-61527 May 2006 55

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

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

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

A-61527 May 2006 57

Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a binary image. There are several different methods of performing this conversion. The following descriptions are for binary images only.

The following binarization options work on grayscale scanned images and outputs a bi-tonal 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.

Available binarization options are:

When using iThresholding, only Contrast may be adjusted.

• Fixed Processing (FP): used for black-and-white and other high contrast documents. A single level is set to determine the black-andwhite transition. The threshold is programmable over the entire density range. Fixed thresholding sets the contrast to 0. If Fixed Processing is selected, Contrast is not available.

When using Adaptive Thresholding, Threshold and Contrast may be adjusted. Contrast values may range from 1 to 100. A Contrast value of 100 is considered fully adaptive thresholding.

Fixed thresholding ATP disabled ATP enabled

58 A-61527 May 2006

Dithering  a method used to simulate gray levels. When selected, the Dithering options are available.

• 64-Level Bayer Dither, 64-Level 45 Degree Clustered Dot Screen and 64-Level Dispersed Dot Screen: these represent alternative screening options to emulate gray.

Contrast %  sets the image contrast by adjusting the difference between black-and-white, thereby making an image sharper or softer. Contrast is only available for binary images.

Contrast 1

Contrast 60

Contrast 100

Manual  is always selected for binary images. Adjust the Contrast setting by dragging the Contrast sliding bar to the left or right to achieve the desired Contrast setting. Scan the document to check the contrast.

Threshold  thresholding is used to convert a grayscale image into a binary (1 bit/pixel) image. The thresholding value ranges from 0 to 255. The default is 90. A low threshold value will produce a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information. A high threshold value will produce a darker image, and can be used to help pick up faint images.

A-61527 May 2006 59

Adjust the Threshold setting by dragging the Threshold sliding bar to the left or right to achieve the desired Threshold setting. Scan the document to check the threshold.

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

• Draft  smallest file size with draft image quality.

• Good  larger file size with good image quality.

• Better  larger file size with better image quality.

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

• Superior  largest file size with superior image quality.

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

Image Control options The following Image Control options are available:

Deskew  check this option to automatically deskew a document

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

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

within the image path.

62 A-61527 May 2006

Halftone Removal  used to enhance images containing dot matrix text and/or images with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens. This filter effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone screen. This option is only applied to binary images.

Black on White polarity White on Black polarity

Noise filter — occasionally small dots or specks appear in the

background of a scanned image. These specks increase file compression size and usually contain no image information. Using the Noise Filter on documents containing very fine detail (e.g., the dot on an "i" in 4-point type) may cause information to be lost. It is recommended that you do not use the Noise Filter when scanning documents with text smaller than 7-point type.

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

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

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

No Noise Filter Used Lone Pixel

Color Dropout options Electronic color dropout is used to eliminate a form’s background so

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

Electronic color dropout is available only for binary and grayscale images.

Dropout Color  the i55/i65 Scanners can drop out red, green or blue. None is the default.

Background Value  this value will be substituted in the grayscale (pre-thresholded) image for the color being removed. Therefore, this value should be higher than the threshold value selected on the Scanner Settings dialog box for this pixel to become the background color. The default value is 245. For example, if you are scanning a white document with a green form and you have selected a binary threshold value of 127, you should choose an electronic color dropout background value greater than 127 so the substituted pixel will be white in the dropped-out image.

Threshold value  the value that is used to identify the color which will be dropped out. This value is applied to the color area. Color with a Red/Green/Blue component more than the entered value is dropped. This setting determines how much of the selected color is dropped out. A lower value will leave more of the selected color in, while a higher value will drop more of the selected color out. The default value is 175.

Problem solving Use the chart below as a guide to check possible solutions to problems

you may encounter when using the Kodak i55/i65 Scanner.

Problem Possible Solution

Scanner will not scan; no LED display

Image quality is:

•poor

• decreased

• lines or streaks

Documents are jamming

When the scanner is powered up, it makes noise and does not come to the Ready state.

You can specify an image from the scanner, but the scanner or computer crashes when scanning.

Make sure that:

• the power cord is plugged securely into the back of scanner and the wall outlet.

• the power light is illuminated on the power supply.

• the power switch is on.

• the wall outlet is not defective (call a licensed electrician).

• the PC and/or the scanner was not restarted after installing the software.

• Clean the imaging area. See the procedures in Chapter 5, Maintenance.

Make sure that:

• the input tray and side guides are adjusted for the width of the documents you are scanning.

• the output tray is adjusted for the length of the documents you are scanning.

• all documents meet the specifications for size, weight and type as outlined in the section entitled, “Document preparation”.

• the scanner is clean.

• the feed module is installed properly and securely in place.

• The shipping switch was not unlocked. Unlock it. See the section entitled “Unlocking the scanner” in Chapter 2.

• The scanner is not located on a level surface. This may cause the scanner to function improperly.

• Verify that the SCSI or USB cable is plugged in correctly.

• Only two SCSI terminators can be connected to the SCSI chain: one is at the end of the SCSI device and the other is already in the host

A-61527 May 2006 79

Problem Possible Solution

Image has clipped corners

Images are not being cropped correctly

Roller marks appear on the document after scanning

Images have black background bleedthrough

If your images have clipped corners, the skew angle was too large for the scanner to handle.

• Be sure documents are placed in the input tray with the edges aligned and the side guides positioned correctly to accommodate the size documents you are feeding to avoid large skew angles.

• If you are scanning large stacks of documents, separate the documents into smaller stacks.

If auto or aggressive cropping is enabled, and your images are not being cropped correctly, clean the white background strips in the imaging area.

• See the procedures in Chapter 5, Maintenance “Cleaning the imaging area”.

If you are scanning images that are smaller than 9.4 x 14 cm (3.7 x 5.5 in.) documents may intermittently be cut off.

• Do not use auto or aggressive cropping.

Clean the rollers. See the procedures in Chapter 5, Maintenanc e.

When scanning translucent documents, black bleed-through may be displayed on the image. To minimize this, adjust the Contrast value or select Fixed Processing to improve the image. For more information on Contrast and Fixed Processing, see Chapter 4, Image Processing.

Testing for a USB connection

When the Kodak device drivers for the Kodak i55 and i65 Scanners are installed, a copy of the USB test software will also be installed. It will be located in this folder by default along with the Kodak Scan Validation Tool software:

C:\program files\Kodak\Document Imaging\usbtst.exe

If you run this executable (usbtst.exe), it will display a set of USB values and protocols. At this time, the software application will function in all operating systems, but will only be valid with the Windows XP system.

If a shortcut of the executable is created, and the /test switch is added to the end of the “Target:” path (to the right of the quotes), then when it is launched from the shortcut, it will run the dialog boxes as listed above and function accordingly with all the operating systems.

To verify USB port speed with the scanner, run the Scan Validation Tool software, and select the Info tab. USBSCAN/x.x will be displayed in parentheses in the Driver: box. x.x is the speed the scanner is actually communicating.

84 A-61527 May 2006

USB connection issues The USB verification tool will check your operating system and

hardware capability to determine if you have a functioning USB 2.0 or if you need to install a USB card.

Your operating system is correctly configured to support USB 2.0.

If a functioning USB 2.0 port is present, this dialog box will be displayed.

Your operating system supports USB 2.0, however, a USB 1.1 port was found

• If your PC does not have a USB 2.0 port installed, install a USB 2.0

Accessory card.

• If a USB 2.0 port or card is installed and the USB test tool does not

recognize the USB card as 2.0, install or update the drivers for that card.

Your operating system only supports USB 1.1

There are some host PC operating systems that do not support USB

2.0, but support USB 1.1 (e.g., Windows 98SE). The Kodak i55 and i65

Scanners are rated and designed to operate with USB 2.0, but will function in a USB 1.1 port, however, the scanner will only perform at a USB 1.1 speed.

Solutions:

• Update your operating system to one that supports USB 2.0, such as,

Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

• You may add a USB 2.0 card but will function only as a USB 1.1.

A-61527 May 2006 85

You do not need to install any additional USB card(s)

The host PC operating system only supports USB 1.1 and does not support USB 2.0, but it found a USB port. The Kodak i55 and i65 Scanners are rated and designed to operate with USB 2.0, but will function in a USB 1.1 port, however, the scanner will only perform at a USB 1.1 speed.

Solution: Update your operating system to one that supports USB 2.0. such as, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. You can also verify what the scanner port speed is running at by using the Scan Validation Tool application with the scanner.

USB will not work

This operating system will not support a USB port. It is recommended to upgrade the operating system to support USB, such as Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
