The Kodak ScanMate i900 Series 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
(i.e., 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 ISIS
Driver as well as descriptions of the features. The same features should
be available on the user interface of the scanning application you are
using.

The Scan Validation Tool dialog box
The Scan Validation Tool (SVT) is a diagnostic application provided by
Kodak. 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 ISIS Driver.

Save Images to Files — when selected, will save the images to the
specified directory.
Display Every ⎯ enter the sampling rate of the images you want to
display while scanning. For example, to see every image, enter a value
th
of 1. To see every 10
image, enter a value of 10.
Total ⎯ displays the total number of images scanned during the
current Scan Validation Tool session.
• To access the ISIS Driver double-click the Setup icon on the Scan

Configuring Image settings
The main ISIS Driver window provides a set of default tabs for
configuring images. You can select each of these tabs and make any
choices necessary to meet your scanning needs.
This section describes the ISIS Driver default interface.
NOTE: The Image Mode selections are available with all of the Image
tabs (i.e., Main, Layout, Image Processing, etc.).
Image Mode — select one of the camera options:
• Camera — the selections in the Camera box list the available sides
(front and back) of an image where you can define individual image
processing values. Options include: Front Image #1, Front Image
#2, Back Image #1 and Back Image #2.
The Kodak Scanner drivers allow you to control the camera settings
independently. Some settings apply only to black and white images,
others apply to color/grayscale images.
• Mode — select one of the following modes:
- Black and White: if you want your electronic image to represen t all
elements of your document in black and white.
- Grayscale: if you want your electronic image to have a range of
varying shades of gray from black to white.
- Color: if you want your electronic image to be in color.

Buttons — the buttons on the bottom of the window apply to all tabs:
• Copy ⎯ this function is only available when scanning two-sided
documents. The Copy button provides a convenient way to set up the
color, grayscale or black and white image settings on one side and
transfer them to the other. For example, if you highlight and set up
Front Image #1, you can use the Copy button to duplicate those
settings for Back Image #1.
• OK ⎯ saves the values set on all tabs.
• Cancel ⎯ closes the window without saving any changes.
• Help — displays on-line help about the options available on the
selected window.
• Default ⎯ resets the values on all tabs to the factory defaults.

Main tab The Main tab provides the following options.
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: 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400, 600 and
1200 dpi.
Cropping ⎯ allows you to capture a portion of the document being
scanned. All cropping options can be used with color/grayscale and
black and white images. Front and Back cropping are independent,
however, for dua l stream scanning, color/grayscale and black and white
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
sizes based on the edges of the image.
• Aggressive: eliminates any residual black border on any image
edges. In order to achieve this, there is a possibility that a small
amount of image data from the edge of the document may be lost.
• Fixed to Transport: (used for batches of same-sized documents)
allows you to define the area to be imaged. Fixed to Transport
cropping is used in conjunction with paper size and page layout and
assumes you are center-feeding your documents. If you are not using
center feeding, you must select the Layout tab to define your scan
area. See the section entitled, “Layout tab” later in this guide for more
information.
