Scanning Your Documents Loading documents Make sure that the scanner is on and has completed its self-test before you turn on the PC to begin scanning. See the section entitled “Scanning specifications” for information about the sizes and types of documents that you can scan. Using the ADF Use the ADF to feed multiple documents automatically in a batch. 1. Fan documents before loading to prevent paper jams. 2.
Scanning with TWAIN or ISIS 1. Open your scanning application. 2. Pull down the File menu and choose Select Source or Select Scanner. NOTE: If the Select Source or Select Scanner command is not available on the File menu, see your application’s user’s guide to determine how the application link is used. A dialog box with a list of scanning sources appears. 3. Select your Kodak scanner model. You need to select the source only once, unless you want to choose another scanner. 4.
Making the Most of Your Scanned Images The features in the TWAIN and ISIS dialog boxes are described in this section. Note that not all features are available at all times. The availability of some features may depend on the scanner model or other feature selections. Scan Method Select how you want to scan on the Scan Method drop-down menu. TWAIN Simplex/One-page—select this setting to use the automatic document feeder (ADF) to scan one side of a document at a time.
Image Type Select the mode you want to use for your scans on the Image Type dropdown menu. Black and White—the image appears in black and white with no intermediate shades of gray. That means that each pixel of the image is either 100% black or 100% white. Choose Black and White if you are scanning text or pen and ink drawings. Since only one bit of black or white information is required per pixel, the file size of a Black and White image is only about 1/24 the size of a 24-Bit Color image.
Resolution Resolution or dots per inch (dpi) indicates the scanning resolution, which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater the resolution, the better the reproduction will be. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size. Therefore, up to a certain dpi level, the resolution will not be visually improved, but the file size will be larger. Tips An A4-size color image scanned at 300 dpi in 24-Bit Color mode is approximately 25 MB in size.
Enhancing your images Invert These features allow you to improve or enhance the appearance of scanned images. Click on the Invert button to reverse the brightness and color in the image. For black-and-white images, black areas will be white and white areas will be black. For color images, inverting the image will cause each pixel to be changed into its complementary color. Mirror Click on the Mirror button to reverse the image (create a mirror image).
Descreen Click on the Descreen button to access a drop-down menu that allows you to specify the type of document you are scanning in order to eliminate the moiré pattern* commonly found in printed matter. You can specify Newspaper, Magazine, or Catalog. * Moiré pattern: an undesirable pattern resulting from the incorrect screen angle of the overprinting halftone.
Highlight / Shadow This feature is available when 8-Bit Gray, 8-Bit Color, or 24-Bit Color is selected on the Image Type drop-down menu. Highlight refers the lightest point in a scanned image; shadow refers the darkest point. Click on the Highlight / Shadow button to access the Highlight / Shadow Levels dialog box.
Curves Click on the Curves button to access a dialog box appears that allows you to adjust the midtone of the image without losing details in the lightest and darkest areas. Select the Curve or the Line button on the bottom right of the Curves dialog box, depending on whether you want a curved or an angled setting. Place the mouse cursor over the line, click the right mouse button, and drag the line to set a curve.
Color Balance Click on the Color Balance button to access a dialog box appears that allows you to adjust the color of the image so that it comes close to that of the original. The default parameters are used to adjust the image. You can type values in the Color Levels text boxes or you can drag the sliding arrow under the color. Hue / Saturation / Lightness Click on this button to access a dialog box that allows you to adjust the hue, saturation, and lightness of an image.
Color Drop-out This feature is available when Black and White, Halftone, or 8-Bit Gray is selected on the Image Type drop-down menu. Click on the Color Drop-out button to access a dialog box that allows you to choose to remove the R (Red), G (Green), or B (Blue) color channel while scanning. For example, if your image contains red text or a red background, choose R channel (red) to remove the red text or red background. This feature is applicable only for black-and-white and grayscale images.
Scan Settings The Scan Settings tab in the Custom Settings dialog box allows you to save your scanning feature settings in a file, load an existing file, or delete an existing file.

Wipe the feed rollers with a fresh Roller Cleaning Pad from side to side and top to bottom. Rotate the rollers by hand as you clean them.
Replacing the feed module After approximately 100,000 pages have been scanned through the ADF, the separation pad on the feed module may become worn and cause document feeding problems. In this case, you should replace the feed module. Four replacement feed modules are included with your scanner. To order more feed modules, consult your dealer (order KODAK Feed Module for Scanners i50/i60/i80; CAT. No. 162-3362). 1. Open the ADF. 2.
Troubleshooting The scanner automatically performs a simple self-test each time it is powered up. This helps spot major system errors in the scanner itself. When the selftest is initiated, the READY light flashes. When the self-test has completed and no error has occurred, the READY light is steadily illuminated. Occasionally, you may experience a problem with your scanner. In many cases, you can easily fix the problem yourself. Refer to the following chart for some common problems and their solutions.
Problem When the scanner is powered up, the lamp does not light. Solution • The lamp has burned out. Contact service. Lamp life is about 15,000 hours. • If the power light on the ADF is flashing, the power adapter is malfunctioning or the main board has short-circuited. Contact service. The scanned image is too dark. • Modify the Curves setting to 2.2 and 1.8 for your printer and monitor, respectively. • Use the Brightness setting to get a brighter image.
