Appendix 1—Testing methodology and results for speed and throughput

Kodak’s Quality Assurance Team conducted a series of comprehensive, competitive benchmark
tests comparing the Kodak i780 Scanner with ISIS to the Canon DR-X10C Scanner with VRS.

Throughput tests

The intent of these tests was to determine the throughput of each scanner using typical scanner
configurations. All scanners were configured with similar settings and all tests were conducted
with EMC QuickScan Pro v6.5.1 and run on the same PC host. EMC QuickScan Pro was chosen
because of its popularity as a third party application. The EMC QuickScan Pro demonstration
version was used so it would be easier for interested parties to validate results. (See Reference
A for configuration details.) The operator prepared documents prior to testing and fed them into
each scanner as quickly as possible. Five new sets of documents were used for each scanner
during testing. Each test was run for one hour with the total number of pages recorded.

Appendix 3—Part A—Misfeed management—Testing methodology and results

Kodak’s Quality Assurance Team conducted a series of comprehensive, competitive benchmark tests comparing the Kodak i780 Scanner/ISIS to the Canon DR-X10C Scanner ISIS/
Canon DR-X10C Scanner with VRS.

Misfeed management—test results

Multifeed productivity test

This test is intended to simulate a job set with pages that create real multifeeds where
two pages feed at the same time through the scanner and cannot be separated with
retry feeding.

The job stream consisted of 100 pages with induced multifeeds placed every 10 pages
in the document stack starting at page 5. The document stack was used for all multifeed
tests described.

Scanner features and settings profile used for multifeed productivity test:

300 dpi bitonal, duplex, auto orientation ON, auto thresholding ON, multifeed detection ON,
all zones ON, set to disable scanner on multifeed detect. Multipage TIFF output selected.
Canon “retry” count set to one attempt.

Appendices

Appendix 4—Part A—Real-world environment—Testing methodology and results

Kodak’s Quality Assurance Team conducted a series of comprehensive, competitive benchmark tests comparing the Kodak i780 Scanner/ISIS to the Canon DR-X10C Scanner ISIS/
Canon DR-X10C Scanner with VRS.

Misfeed management—test results

Multifeed productivity test

This test is intended to simulate a job set with pages that create real multifeeds where
two pages feed at the same time through the scanner and cannot be separated with
retry feeding.

The job stream consisted of 100 pages with induced multifeeds placed every 10 pages
in the document stack starting at page 5. The document stack was used for all multifeed
tests described.

Scanner features and settings profile used for multifeed productivity test:

300 dpi bitonal, duplex, auto orientation ON, auto thresholding ON, multifeed detection ON,
all zones ON, set to disable scanner on multifeed detect. Multipage TIFF output selected.
Canon “retry” count set to one attempt.

General test steps:

• Operatorscannedveprepared100-pagemultifeedstacks.

• Thestackswereloadedseparately,onefollowinganother.

Challenging document productivity test

This test was intended to simulate a very challenging document including a wide range of sizes,
thicknesses and finishes.

General test steps:

•

Operator scanned five prepared challenge stacks.

• The stacks were loaded separately, one following another.

• Each real multifeed was rescanned.

• Images of real multifeeds were not included in the batch.

Scanner features and settings profile for challenge document productivity test:

200 dpi bitonal, duplex, auto orientation ON, auto thresholding ON, multifeed detection ON,
multifeed retry ON, all zones ON, set to disable scanner on multifeed. Multipage TIFF output.
Canon “retry” count set to one attempt.

Appendix 5—Real-world environment—Testing methodology and results (dust and contaminants)

Kodak’s Quality Assurance Team conducted a series of comprehensive, competitive benchmark
tests comparing the Kodak i780 Scanner with VRS to the Canon DR-X10C Scanner ISIS. Testing
parameters exceeded normal benchmark tests.

Real-world results: testing results (for dust and contaminants)

Tests performed:

1) Performance of Dust Evasion System

Result—This test was halted when we could not get the Dust Detection System to detect

dust in the scanner during normal operation.

2)

Determine the Dust Particle size needed to trigger the Canon DR-X10C Scanner Dust

Detection System

Result—This test was halted. We could not get dust to trigger the detection system.

Canon DR-X10C Scanner Streak Detection Software

Testing was performed using Dust Detect Modes ON1 and ON2.

Test 1—Description and detailed results

The intent of this test was to seed the imaging area of the Canon DR-X10C Scanner with
a large quantity of naturally made paper dust. Dust was collected from Kodak Scanners
normally used for testing purposes in the QA Lab. Dust was placed on the upper and lower
image paths.

This is a photo of the dust that was seeded in the scanner at the beginning of the test. The
dust was collected from several scanners in the QA Lab. This was not “manufactured” dust.

This photo was taken after the first sheet was scanned. Notice there is little sign of the piles
of dust that had been placed in the scanner.

Note: Dust Detection occurs prior to scanning the first image.

Canon DR-X10C Scanner Sleep Mode

The scanner has a configurable sleep mode. The settings are 10, 60, and 240 min.
We did not find a way to turn this o.

When the scanner is enabled after waking up from Stand-by Mode, the cleaning
system activates.

Performance of Dust Evasion System Test—detailed results, continued

This is a portion of the first image taken. There were streaks both in the image and in the
background.

s Streak on the document

s Streaks seen in the background

Conclusion

The scanner’s ability to remove large amounts of dust from the imaging area was observed.
However, there was still a noticeable streak in the image after the dust was removed.

Dust particle size to trigger Canon DR-X10C Dust Detection System

The intent of this test was to run the scanner until there was a visible streak in the image and
disable the scanner. When the scanner was re-enabled the dust detection system was to
detect the dust, clean the imaging area and continue scanning. This test would be repeated
until the Dust Detection System could no longer correct for the dust on the guides.

To speed up the creation of dust, the Dust Creator Tool was used.

Photo of Dust Creation Tool

During our testing we noticed that there were very visible streaks in the images. When the
scanner was disabled and re-enabled, the Dust Detection System did not detect the dust.

The dust streak grew from 1 pixel wide to about 49 pixels wide. Dust was not detected by the
Dust Detection System using either the ON1 or ON2 settings.

Conclusion

The Dust Detection System did not detect dust that was clearly visible in the image.

Test #2—Determine dust particle size to trigger DR-X10C Dust Detection System—
detailed results

The intent of this test was to determine under what conditions the Dust Detection System
would detect dust.

Using a “Dust Creation Tool” to create dust quickly, we also needed a way to prevent the dust
brush from cleaning the imaging area. We taped a piece of plastic document protector over
the brush mechanism.

To determine if the Dust Detection System was operating, we placed a sticky note over the
image guide. This action triggered a dust detection “event.”

We then cut the sticky notes into smaller and smaller width strips and placed them on the
image guides. This also triggered a dust event. We were able to create a sliver at about 1/16th
inch wide. This also triggered a dust detection event. We concluded that the Dust Detection
System was functioning.

We scanned for several days using the Dust Creation Tool. We were disabling and re-enabling
every 10 documents. The Dust Detection System did not detect dust.

We placed a pile of dust just before the image guide and allowed the document to spread dust
throughout the scanner. The dust was visible in the image, but the Dust Detection System did
not detect a dust error.

We scanned in bitonal image capture mode and got the same results.

As a last test we taped a human hair across the imaging area. This was immediately detected
when the scanner was enabled.

Overall testing conclusion

The Dust Detection System did not detect dust but could detect more dense or solid objects.
We concluded that if the test was run long enough, the dust would have built up to the point
were the Dust Detection System would have triggered an event. However, streaks caused by
dust would have been noticeable in images long before then.
