Features at a Glance

• Auto color detection ⎯ allows your scanner to automatically scan in color or grayscale when

it senses that the color content of specific documents within a batch is above a set threshold
value. Based on the threshold value, your scanner determines when to scan in color or
grayscale.

• Perfect Page scanning with iThresholding — Perfect Page scanning with iThresholding is

essential when scanning mixed batches of documents of varied contrast in background and/or
text.

• Orthogonal rotation — allows you to feed documents in landscape orientation (faster

throughput), but display the scanned images in portrait orientation (convenient viewing).

• Auto orientation/auto rotation — this feature automatically analyzes each document to

determine how it was fed into the scanner and will rotate the image to the proper orientation.

• Toggle patch — enable color or grayscale on-the-fly processing with the Toggle patch.

• Advanced image processing — offers incredibly clear scans in color, black and white, and

grayscale.

• Lockable paper-feeding guides — for better control of the printing location.

• Enhanced printer — includes a factory-installed, pre-configured front printer. The printer

operates at full scanner speed and can add a date, time, document sequential counter, and
custom messages.

• Outstanding document feeding — Kodak’s renowned feeder technology is designed into the

scanner.

• Exclusive SurePath paper handling — the i700 Series Scanners are virtually jam-free and

damage-free because it’s designed for smooth paper transport from input to output.

• Kodak Manual Feeder — the available Kodak Manual Feeder Accessory provides a flat work

surface to aid in manual feeding.

• Multiple automatic document feeder elevator settings — the elevator can now be set to

four settings — 500-, 250-, 100-sheets and manual (25 sheets or less) — for added versatility
and productivity.

• 34 in. / 86.36 cm maximum document length — the maximum document length that can be

fed has been increased to 34 inches/86.36 cm for all resolutions and with all cropping
methods in black and white and color or grayscale.

• Dual xenon lamps — two long-lasting, mercury-free xenon lamps give you maximum

illumination to help eliminate shadows from wrinkled documents.

• Attractive, compact design, quiet — big scanning volume, small size. The desktop design

means it fits just about anywhere.

• Section 508-compliant — offers easy access to all controls, user replaceable parts and the

entire transport.

• Tricolor Plus CCD array — exceptional image quality and readability is automatic.

• Bundled ISIS Driver and TWAIN Datasource — the ISIS Driver and TWAIN Datasource are

shipped with the scanner and can be installed from the CD. The scanning application is the
primary means of controlling the scanner. TWAIN Datasource features an easy-to-use GUI
that allows users to save and select from several pre-configured scanner settings (called
Settings Shortcuts). The programmatic interface remains the same as our earlier TWAIN
Datasource so support of third party scanning applications will continue to be robust.

• Resolutions — black and white: 200/240/300/400; color: 100/150/200/240/300;

grayscale: 100/150/200/240/300.

• Five output options — meet essentially every application need. Choose, color, black and

white, grayscale, simultaneous black and white and grayscale, or simultaneous black and
white and color.

• Independent settings for ultrasonic multifeed sensors — the three ultrasonic document

sensors can be independently enabled/disabled to further customize and increase
productivity.

• 500-sheet elevator tray for easy paper feeding which can be pre-set to accommodate different

batch sizes (settings include: 500, 250, 100 and 25 or less).

• Easy-to-reach input and output trays making it easy to load and unload documents.

• Easy access to the complete paper path allows you to clear the paper path quickly and

perform efficient scanner maintenance.

• Easy-open design allows you to open the cover with a touch of the release lever.

• Easy-to-change rollers and feed module.

Kodak SurePath paper handling

Kodak SurePath paper handling means you have the confidence that documents will “fly” through
the scanner under control. Kodak’s Document Imaging scientists and engineers analyzed years of
production scanner feedback from the Kodak service organization’s tracking system and took the
best paper transport system in the industry and made it better. This includes new feeder
geometry, redesigned feeding mechanisms, an improved drive train and a host of other
enhancements that maximize throughput and reduce noise.

Independent Locking locking side guides

It’s as easy as moving a switch to lock the side guides for better control of the printing location.

Paper handling and feeding

The input tray and automatic document feeder of the i700 Series Scanners are designed to stack
and feed up to 500 sheets of 75 g/m
document sizes.

The feeder accepts a wide variety of paper weight, with no operator intervention necessary after
the initial loading. While the automatic document feeder works best with similar size documents, it
The i700 Series Scanner’s robust paper handling also handleselegantly manages the feeding of
mixed document sets (batches) consisting of varying paper weight and sizes in a reliable manner.

The feeder includes a gap release for the operator to easily bypass the separation feature when
feeding documents such as folders or envelopes.

(20 lb.) bond paper reliably across the specified range of

Ultrasonic multifeed detection (programmable)

A reliable ultrasonic multi-feed detection system has been integrated into the i700 Series
Scanners. Three detection zones allow for greater feeding flexibility and can be independently
enabled/disabled to further customize and increase productivity of a scanning application. (left-,
center-, and right-edge) while still benefiting from multi-feed detection.

Sensors may be enabled or disabled, depending on your application. For example, if you know
that the right side of the document has a Post It

TM

on it, you can disable the right sensor.

Multi-feed detection is enabled through the host software. Sensitivity levels (high, medium and
low) can be set to control how aggressively the scanner will work to determine if more than one
document is fed into the transport. Multi-feeds are triggered by detecting air gaps between
documents. This allows multi-feed detection to be used with applications containing documents
with mixed thicknesses.

• High sensitivity is the most aggressive setting and good to use if all documents are similar in

thickness of no greater than 75 g/m2 (20 lb.) bond paper.

• Medium sensitivity is the default and good to use if your application has varying document

thicknesses or labels attached to the documents.

• Low sensitivity is the least aggressive setting and is less likely to detect labels, poor quality or

wrinkled documents as multi-fed documents.

The operator can select either option when the system determines that multiple documents have
been fed through the scanner.

• Beep and Continue: beeps when a multifeed has been detected and will continue scanning.

• Beep and Stop: beeps when a multifeed has been detected and stops scanning. When this

occurs, the scanner will need to be re-enabled to resume scanning.

• Beep and Pause: beeps when a multifeed has been detected and pauses scanning. When

this occurs, the operator can quickly resume scanning by pressing the start button on the
scanner.

Diagnostic software (for use by Kodak Service personnel)

Robust diagnostic software for the i700 Series Scanners provides maximum uptime and optimum
performance for the customer. Comprehensive hardware analysis and problem determination in
the software allows a high success rate in resolving the root cause of problems via remote
analysis. When on-site service is required, the diagnostic analysis allows the Field Engineer to
better understand the nature of the problem and be prepared with the appropriate service parts
before going on site.

Features of diagnostics include the ability to provide error logs that can be e-mailed or faxed to
the Response Center at Kodak for further analysis.

Optics

The design heritage of the M-type Kodak lens used in the i700 Series Scanners comes from a
high-resolution production scanner developed for complex character scanning. The lens also
incorporates an infrared filter with its lead-free multiple elements. This reduces light loss
and eliminates alignment of the infrared filter to the lens. The infrared filter reduces warm-up time
by providing a more “color stable” light output to the CCD when the lamps have just been turned
on, as well as during operation.

Unlike competitive scanners, which use off-the-shelf lenses, the additional glass elements in the
i700 Series Scanner’s lens provide a greater depth of focus to keep thin-to-thick and light-to­heavy documents in focus. In addition, the scanner’s lens keeps outer edges in focus so they
have virtually the same clarity as the center of the document.

Tri-Color Plus CCD Array

The Tri-Color Plus CCD Array is built on a rich foundation of Kodak CCD technology. Produced by
the Kodak Image Sensor Solution division (ISS) via specifications created by Kodak’s Document
Imaging Scanner Engineering and Advanced Development teams, the Tri-Color Plus Array is the
fastest, most accurate and advanced chip available today. This CCD is exclusive currently
available only to Document Imaging.

One array contains the red, green, blue and luminance (grayscale) sensors. This provides cleaner
image transmission (focusing the lens on one array), and since the grayscale image is created in
conjunction with the color image, you have the ability to use grayscale image elements in the
color image processing chain for a sharper image and to maximize image purity in dark regions of
the image.

Enhanced Printer

The Enhanced Printer provides a vertical print capability and supports alphanumeric characters,
date, time, sequential document number and custom messages. The Enhanced Printer is unique
in that the document print string can be configured to include both static information (i.e.,
information that stays the same for each document, such as scan station or operator) and
dynamic information (i.e., information that may change for each page scanned, such as time or
sequential document number). All printer controls and functions are accessible via the ISIS and
TWAIN Drivers.

The Enhanced Printer cartridge is a standard HP print head and affords the
customer an inexpensive and effective way to apply information to the scanned
document.

See the User’s Guide for details on the printing functionality.
