The Kodak s1700 Operating System Software controls the Kodak
s1740 Capture System and provides the following features:
• An easy to use interface allows you to easily access the tools you
need via icons, toolbars and pull-down menus.
• Captures the information that enables automatic post-sorting into 2,
6, 8 or 12 pockets based on smart imaging.
• For document completeness, easy separation and tracking, you can
encode MICR data on documents. With the barcode encoding option,
you can imprint the same barcode (up to three barcodes in one run),
on every page of a document to keep pages from the same file
together.
• For electronic distribution or archiving you can define tags to facilitate
the sharing of data and choose the image format (JPEG or TIF) that
best meets your needs.
• Specify up to six different images (color, grayscale and black and
white; both front and back) in one pass.
• Statistical information is easy accessed on the documents
processed.

This chapter describes the windows, menus and toolbars that are
available when using the Kodak s1700 Operating System Software.
The Kodak s1700 Operating System Software includes the following
modules:
Scan — the majority of your work will be done using Scan. Detailed
information regarding the menus, tools and windows in Scan follows
the general description of the main window.

outputs the scanned images to the desired file format.
Transfer — sends the scanned information to the receiving application.
Run Definition — this is where the job definitions are defined.
Statistics — allows statistical evaluations of former operating system
software sessions.
Split — this module allows you to calculate the runs for fine sorts.
You will use the Scan, Convert and Transfer modules when processing
a run. The windows and toolbars associated with all of these modules
are described in this chapter. Many of the menu and toolbar buttons are
the same for all modules.
See Chapter 3, Using the Software for procedures on how these
