Optional accessories • Kodak i200 Series Imprinter—prints a date, time, fixed string, and/or

sequential number on document backs. For information about this
accessory, refer to Appendix C, Kodak i200 Series Imprinter.

• Kodak i200 Series Dockable Flatbed—the A3 flatbed adds scanning
capability for exception documents. For information about this accessory,
refer to Appendix D, Kodak i200 Series Dockable Flatbed.

NOTE: For information about ordering the above accessories, refer to

Appendix B, Supplies and Accessories.

• Additional memory (SODIMM)—purchase a memory card at a computer
supply retailer near you. For information about installing a memory card,
refer to Appendix E, Installing Optional Memory.

Preparing documents for scanning

• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so that
the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under the
automatic document feeder. This allows the feeder to introduce documents
into the scanner one at a time. Documents must be positioned face down
for scanning.

• Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner. Remove all
staples and paper clips before scanning.

• Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully through
the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every possible type of
damaged paper. If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document
can be transported through the scanner, place the document in a clear
protective sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded
edge first, while lifting the gap release lever.

NOTES: You also can use the optional Kodak i200 Series Dockable Flatbed to

scan damaged documents.

In addition, the automatic document feeder on the i280 Scanner
can scan irregularly shaped documents (e.g., pages with coupons
removed or documents with large holes or cutouts in them) when
you use Special Document mode. For more information, refer to the
section “Additional Features.”

• When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the input tray guides
must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.

NOTE: Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that

represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most
common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is
achieved when scanning documents within the recommended
document specifications. Scanning documents that are outside of
these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of
scanner reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.

If you have purchased a Kodak i200 Series Imprinter, Kodak i200 Series
Dockable Flatbed, and/or additional memory (SODIMM), refer to the
appropriate appendix in this guide for installation instructions.

Using the Scanner

Starting and stopping scanning

Scanning is controlled by software developed for your application. To start and
stop scanning, refer to the documentation provided with your software.

Automatic feeding To scan a batch of documents, follow the guidelines for size, type, quantity,

etc., in the Introduction section. For faster throughput, feed documents into the
automatic document feeder (ADF) in landscape orientation (longer side as the
leading edge).

IMPORTANT: Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner.

Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.

1. Align the leading edges of the stacked documents.

2. Position the leading edge of the documents face down and centered
in the ADF.

3. Adjust the document feeder guides.

4. Adjust the output tray position, if necessary.

5. Pull out the output tray extender, if necessary.

6. Start scanning.

Continuous feeding Continuous feeding allows you to place additional batches of documents in the

feeder for “infinite” feeding (with operator assistance).

• When only a few documents from one batch remain in the feeder, place the

next batch face down on top of those documents.

A-61167 April 2005 19

Manual feeding Follow the guidelines for document size, type, weight, quantity, etc., in the

Introduction section. Position the leading edge of the document face down
and centered in the ADF, then start scanning.

Damaged documents You can scan torn or fragile documents through the automatic document

feeder if they are placed in a protective plastic sleeve.

NOTE: The i280 Scanner has a feature (Special Document mode) that allows

irregularly shaped documents or documents with holes to be scanned
through the ADF. Refer to the following section, “Additional Features”
for more information.

1. Place the damaged document into a protective sleeve.

2. Position the sleeve face down, folded edge first, and centered in the ADF.

Gap release lever

3. Lift the gap release lever, if necessary (this provides more clearance to
ease document feeding).

4. Start scanning.

20 A-61167 April 2005

Additional features

Following are additional scanning capabilities that allow you to scan more
document types faster and with better results. With the exception of Perfect
Page with iThresholding, these features are for the i280 Scanner only:

• Long Paper mode

• Special Document mode

• Perfect Page with iThresholding - for all i200 Series Scanners

• Toggle patch

Long Paper mode Long Paper mode allows you to scan documents that exceed the 34-inch

maximum length that the scanner normally handles. You can scan documents
that are up to 609 cm (20 feet) long at resolutions of up to 300 dpi with Long
Paper mode. These document types include document rolls (e.g., EKG charts,
chart recorder rolls, and other roll-type documents).

The scanned document is delivered in multiple images. You can specify the
length and width of the images in the fixed cropping option in your scanning
application. The recommended segment size is 10 to 12 inches.

Special Document mode Special Document mode allows you to scan irregularly shaped documents

(e.g., pages with coupons removed or documents with large holes or cutouts
in them) that would normally produce unexpected results such as truncated
images or jams.

Using Special Document mode will reduce scanner throughput (e.g., for A4 or
letter-sized documents scanned in portrait orientation at 200 dpi, throughput
may reduced by as much as 25%).

NOTES: Documents with a cutout on the side and bottom

(e.g., as shown at right) may stop in the scanner
during scanning even when you are using
Special Document mode because the scanner
will sense the end of the document at the short
cutout edge.

You can scan this type of document by placing it
under a tire on the feed module or in a plastic
sleeve.

For a document that is especially ragged or
tattered, place it in a plastic sleeve for scanning.

A-61167 April 2005 21

Perfect Page with iThresholding

Perfect Page with iThresholding is essential when you are scanning
mixed batches of documents of varied contrast in background and/or text.
Brightness is automatically adjusted for each individual document for
highlighting, low contrast, and lightweight paper — situations that previously
required manual adjustments.

Using the iThresholding feature, the scanner dynamically evaluates each
document in the batch to determine the optimal threshold value to produce the
highest quality image.

The iThresholding feature delivers high-quality images from a large range of
both poor- and high-contrast documents and reduces the need to pre-sort,
rescan, and perform post-image processing. You get better image and text
legibility, smoother lines, minimal to no artifacts, and fewer shaded areas with
minimal or no user intervention.

Toggle patch The Toggle patch triggers the scanner to switch from the current scanning

mode to the alternative mode (i.e., bi-tonal to color or color to bi-tonal).
When you scan using a Toggle patch (shown at right),
color on-the-fly processing is enabled. With color on-the­fly, scanning automatically switches between scanning
modes whenever a Toggle patch is read by the scanner.

NOTES: The Toggle patch document is available as a

.pdf file on the Installation CD. Print the Toggle
patch document on a good-quality printer.

Do not scan a duplex Toggle patch document
(where the Toggle patch printed on both sides)
in duplex mode.

when scanning in color:

• The difference in the color outputs of scanners, printers, and monitors can

affect the perception of the scanned document.

• Computer displays and printer output can vary from model to model, and

from manufacturer to manufacturer. An image may be acceptable on one
display and unacceptable on another.

• Area lighting (fluorescent, natural, incandescent) can affect

color perception.

• The appearance of a colored area within an image can be perceived

differently, based on what surrounds it.

• The characteristics and condition of a document can have an impact on

color consistency.

• Color requirements may differ between environments (e.g., in a business

document environment, images are generally viewed on a monitor, whereas
in a “print on demand” environment, scanned images are printed).

To ensure that your scanner is delivering the best image:

• Clean the scanner. Contamination within the scanner degrades image

quality. (Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning information.)

• Calibrate the scanner occasionally and make sure that the calibration target

is clean and unwrinkled.

A-61167 April 2005 C-15

Imprinting overview Many applications with capture needs up to 10,000 pages per day, particularly

in the finance, insurance, and public administration industries, require an
imprinter. Furthermore, forms processing applications in all areas can benefit
from the use of an imprinter.

The Kodak i200 Series Imprinter is unique in that the document print string can
be configured to include both literal (static) information (i.e., information that
stays the same for each document, such as batch name, scan station, or
operator) and dynamic information (i.e., information that may change for each
page scanned, such as sequential document number). Software controls static
fields; any information that the software allows you to enter can be sent to the
imprinter. The imprinter can be manually placed in 14 horizontal positions.

All imprinter controls and functions are accessible through ISIS and TWAIN
drivers. Imprinting must be enabled or disabled for each scan session.
A maximum of 40 characters, which can include any alphanumeric and special
characters from the printable character set (see chart below), is allowed.
Imprinter information is posted to an image header record, which is accessible
via the host computer.

Print characters Characters can be printed in two orientations, Cine (no rotation) or Comic

(90× rotation), and two sizes, Small (regular) and Large (bold), and are
designed to fit seven characters per inch when printed in Comic orientation.
Imprinting cannot be done within 0.89 cm (0.35 in.) of the leading or trailing
edge of the document.

C-16 A-61167 April 2005

The resolution of the character fonts is 96 dpi across the width of the scanner.
However, the font resolution varies with the direction that the paper is fed into
the scanner. This variable allows the creation of an easy-to-read character
string. The approximate resolution of the printed output is shown below.

Resolution (dpi)

Small Large

Cine 85 dpi 63 dpi
Comic 115 dpi 85dpi

Changes to the print string, other than automatic, sequential number
advances, require a host command to restart the imprinter. You must
initiate a change between documents or batches. Changes cannot be done
automatically or between documents “on the fly.”

NOTE: The minimum document width for using the imprinter is 14 cm (5.5 in.).
