4 Image Processing Overview This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to many users. The Kodak i1200/i1300 Series Scanners provide the ability to process scanned images to improve their quality. Using these features the scanner can sometimes make the scanned image look better than the original document. Basic image processing concepts are reviewed in this chapter to help you take advantage of these powerful features.
Scan Validation Tool dialog box The Scan Validation Tool (SVT) is a diagnostic application that Kodak provides with most Kodak Scanners. 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 both the TWAIN datasource and the ISIS driver. Displays the user interface for the selected driver.
Using the TWAIN datasource The TWAIN datasource is software that communicates with your scanner. It is provided by Kodak with the i1200/i1300 Scanners. Many scanning applications support the TWAIN standard and this datasource can be used to interface with these applications. This section provides descriptions of the scanner features using options on the TWAIN datasource tabs. If you are using the TWAIN datasource, follow the procedures in this section to set up your scanner.
Most of the options you’ll want to set are available on these two windows: • Image Settings: clicking the Settings button on the main Kodak Scanner window, displays the Image Settings window. From this window you can set your image processing parameters by using the General, Size, Adjustments and Enhancements tab. You can also access the Device settings, by clicking the Device button or the Advanced settings by clicking the Advanced button.
2. Determine if you want to capture an electronic image of the front of your document, back of your document or both sides of your document and make the selection from the Input Document is dropdown list. Options are: • Two Sided — captures both sides of the document • One Sided-Front — captures the front side only • One Sided-Back — captures the back side only 3. Place one or two representative documents in the input tray of the scanner.

Drag the tool across the image to magnify different areas of the image. Zooms out on a portion of the image. Press and hold the left mouse button inside an image to reduce it. Rotate outline — rotates the outline 90 degrees if the rotated outline fits in the scanner’s maximum width.
General tab The General tab allows you to define several image processing values that can be applied to your scanner. Scan as — select one of the following options: • Color (24-bit): if you want your electronic image to be in color. • Grayscale (8-bit): if you want your electronic image to have a range of varying shades of gray from black to white. • Black and white (1-bit): if you want your electronic image to represent all elements of your document in black and white.
Size tab The Size tab allows you to define values relating to the image output (i.e., cropping values, paper size, etc.). Document • Automatically Detect and Straighten: when a document(s) is fed into the transport, this option will automatically straighten and crop the image to the edge of the document. (This option is referred to as automatic cropping and deskew on previous Kodak Scanners.
Outline — enter the Origin and Size values. You can enter the desired values in the fields or use the arrow keys to define the desired area. The Preview window will show image dimensions and placement as you change the values. This option is only available when you select a Document option which allows an Image selection of Part of Document.
Adjustments tab: black and white The options available depend on the Scan As selection you made on the General tab. The following options are based on a Scan As selection of Black and White. Conversion quality — these settings effect the black and white image. Available options are Best, Normal and Draft. These options are applied to grayscale scanned images and outputs a black and white electronic image.
Contrast — adjusts the difference between black and white, thereby making an image sharper or softer. The difference between black and white is small with a low contrast setting so the image is softer. With a high-contrast setting, the difference between black and white is large, so the image is clearer. Contrast values range from -50 to 50. The default is 0. Threshold — controls the level at which a pixel is considered black or white (1 bit/pixel).
Filters - Image • Halftone Removal: enhances images containing dot matrix text and/ or images with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens, and effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone screen. Invert Colors — defines whether the image should be stored in black on a white background or white on a black background. The default is black on a white background. If you want the image to be stored as white on black background, check this option.
Adjustments tab: color or grayscale The options available depend on the Scan As selection you made on the General tab. The following options are based on a Scan As selection of Color or Grayscale. Brightness — changes the amount of white in the color or grayscale image. Contrast — makes the image sharper or softer. Red — changes the amount of red in the color image. Does not apply to grayscale images. Green — changes the amount of green in the color image. Does not apply to grayscale images.
• Apply to: available if you select the Change to White option. - Predominant - smooths the predominant background color to white. - Neutral - smooths just the neutral color to white; will also smooth two additional background colors to a uniform color. - All - smooths up to three background colors to white. • Aggressiveness: select a value to increase or decrease the effect.
Blank Image Detection — use the arrows to select the image size before which an image is determined to be blank. Images with sizes less than the size number you select (ranges from 1 to 1000 KB) will not be created. If you use this option, you must specify a blank image size for each image type (black and white, grayscale and color) you want to delete. The default is none, which means you keep all images.
Advanced options The Advanced button is located at the top of the Image Settings window next to the Side drop-down box. When you select the three dots (...) button, the Advanced tab will be displayed. Multiple, One - based on document content, and configuring different settings for each side can all be set up using the Advanced tab. Input document is — select Two Sided, One sided - Front, or One sided - Back depending on what side(s) you want to configure.
Once you have done this, the Side drop-down list on the Image Settings window will no longer be grayed out and you can select different settings for each side. Now that you have enabled Different settings per side, your initial selections will apply only to the front side of the document you are scanning. After you have made your selections for the front side, use the Side drop-down list to select the back side and then make the settings you want to apply to the back.
Content Settings tab The options on the Content Settings tab can be used for either single stream or dual stream jobs. Side — determines which side the Sensitivity settings are applied to. This option is only available if Different settings per side is checked on the Advanced tab. Sensitivity — options are: Low, Medium, High, and Custom. • Low: documents requiring only a small amount of color to be saved as color or grayscale images.
• Custom: allows you to manually adjust the Color amount and/or Color threshold. NOTE: When setting Sensitivity values, it is suggested that you start with the Medium option and scan a typical job set. If too many documents were returned as color/grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the High option and re-run the job. If too few documents were returned as color/grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the Low option and re-run the job.
Setting up automatic color detection Example 1 In this example, let’s assume you want to configure a two-sided document stream of mixed color business documents and want the scanner to output either a color or a black and white image for each side of a document based on the scanner detecting the amount of color in each image. To configure this correctly do the following: 1. Click Advanced on the Image Settings window to display the Advanced tab. 2. Select Two Sided from the Input document is drop-down box.
and the Content Settings tab will look like this: 8. Click Done to return to the Image Settings window. 9.

Select one side and adjust the settings on the rest of the tabs of the Image Settings window (General, Size, Adjustments and Enhancements). 10. Then select the other side and make the appropriate selections for that type of image.
Setting up multiple images for each side of a document (dual stream) Example 2 In this example, let’s assume you want to configure a two-sided document stream of mixed color business documents and want the scanner to output both a color and a black and white image for each side of a document. 1. Click Advanced on the Image Settings window to display the Advanced tab. 2. Select Two Sided from the Input document is drop-down box. 3. Make sure that the Different settings per side checkbox is not checked. 4.
9. If you look on the Image Settings window, the Side drop-down box will now have two entries: Both: Color (24 bit) and Both: Black and White (1bit). Select one side and adjust the settings on the rest of the tabs of the Image Settings window (General, Size, Adjustments and Enhancements). 10. Then select the other side and make the appropriate selections for that type of image. You may want to scan a test document using the Preview window while you make these changes. 11.
Images for each side of a document (dual-stream) Example 4 In this example, let’s assume you want to configure a two-sided document stream of business documents that have color on the front of the document but the rear side is fine in black and white. 1. Click Advanced on the Image Settings window to display the Advanced tab. 2. Select Two Sided from the Input document is drop-down box. 3. Check the Different settings per side checkbox. 4. Select One from the Images per side drop-down box. 5.
The Device Settings window The Device button is located on the Image Settings window. When you select Device, the General and Multifeed tabs are displayed. From the Device Settings window, you can also access Diagnostics. General tab The General tab allows you to set scanner-specific transport control options. Paper Source — select the desired paper source. • Automatic: looks for paper in the document feeder first.
Multifeed tab Multifeed detection aids in document processing by detecting documents that may go through the feeder overlapped. Sensitivity — controls how aggressively the scanner will work to determine if more than one document is fed into the transport. Multifeeds are triggered by detecting air gaps between documents. This allows multi-feed detection to be used with job sets containing documents with mixed thicknesses. You may set the Multi-Feed Detection to High, Medium or Low sensitivity.
Action When Detected — select what action you want the scanner to take when a multi-feed occurs. With all options, the error condition will be logged and if you have enabled a sound via the Play sound on PC option, the scanner will make the selected sound. • Stop Scanning: when an overlap or multifeed is detected, the scanner automatically stops scanning and clears the paper path. Verify that the paper path has been cleared and restart the scan session from the scanning application.
The Diagnostics window The Diagnostics button is located on the Device Settings window. When you select Diagnostics, you will have access to the General, Debug and Logs tabs. When finished viewing or making a change on one of these tabs, you can click the Done button and return to the Device Settings window. General diagnostics tab The General tab allows you to perform a scanner test and provides the scanner time.
Debug tab The Debug tab allows you to store the communications between the scanner and a scanning application to a file that can be reviewed later. In addition, the resulting images (both before and after image processing has been done) can be saved as well. Logging — saves the communications between the scanner and a scanning application to a file for later review. Click the drop-down box to select from Off (the default), On or Custom.
Images - Sent To application • Save: click this checkbox to save final images from the scanner (after image processing is applied). • File prefix: use a relevant file prefix to more easily find and sort the saved images. Img is the default. Delete — deletes any images that have been saved from previous jobs. Logs tab The Logs tab allows you to view scanner hardware information, general information or the stored communications between the scanner and a scanning application.
Using the ISIS Driver The ISIS Driver is software that communicates with the scanner. This driver is created and maintained by EMC Captiva and is provided with the scanner by Kodak. Many scanning applications support ISIS drivers and this driver can be used to interface with them. This section provides descriptions of the options on the tabs of the main ISIS Driver window and how to set these options.
Main tab The Main tab provides the following options: Image Mode 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.
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 dual 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 document sizes based on the edges of the image.
• Adaptive Thresholding (ATP): separates the foreground information in an image (i.e., text, graphics, lines, etc.) from the background information (i.e., white or non-white paper background). When using Adaptive Thresholding, Brightness and Contrast can be adjusted. Brightness — changes the amount of white in the color and grayscale image. Use the slider to select a value from 0 to 255. The default is 90.
Layout tab The Layout tab provides these options: Page Orientation — allows you to select the way you place your documents in the scanner, Top First, Bottom First, Left first or Right first. When using the Kodak i1200/i1300 Scanners, select Top First. Image Orientation • Automatic: if you select Automatic, the Page Orientation options are not available. • Portrait: displays the image orientation in the shape of a conventional portrait, where height is greater than width.
Image Processing tab The Image Processing tab displays the Image Mode and Mode information that was previously described. Refer to the section entitled “The main ISIS Driver tab” earlier in this chapter for descriptions. Document Type - select one of the following based upon the documents you are scanning: • Text: when the documents you want to scan contain mostly text. • Text with Graphics: when the documents you want to scan contain a mix of text, business graphics (bar graphs, pie charts, etc.
• Invert Image defines whether the image should be stored in black on a white background or white on a black background. The default is Black on White. If you want white on a black background, check this option. Black on White White on Black • Add Border — allows you to add a fixed amount of border to the left, right, top and bottom edge of the image. Noise Filter — occasionally small dots or specks appear in the background of a scanned image.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group) Quality — this group developed and lent their name to a file compression standard for color and grayscale images that is widely used by scanners, digital cameras and software applications. On Microsoft Windows-based systems, a file with the extension .jpg has normally been compressed using this standard. JPEG compression offers a JPEG quality of Draft, Good, Better, Best and Superior. • Draft: smallest file size with draft image quality.
Blank image detection — select the image size (KB), below which an image is determined to be blank. Images with sizes less than the number you select will not be created. If you use this option, you must specify a blank image size for each image type (Binary, Gray and Color) you want to delete. If you do not make an entry in these fields, all images are kept. Multi-feed Detection options Length Detection this option can be enabled or disabled. The default is disabled.
Auto Color Detect tab The Auto Color Detect tab provides the following options. Color Content — options are None, Low, Medium, High, and Custom. • Low: documents require only a small amount of color to be saved as color or grayscale images. Used for capturing documents that are primarily black text with small logos, or contain small amounts of highlighted text or small colorful photos.
• Custom: makes the Color Amount and/or Color Threshold options available. NOTE: When setting Auto Color Detect values, it is suggested that you start with the Medium option and scan a typical job set. If too many documents were returned as color/grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the High option and re-run the job. If too few documents were returned as color/ grayscale vs. black and white, then change to the Low option and re-run the job.
Adjustments tab The Adjustments tab provides the following options. Color Adjustment Red — changes the amount of red in the color image. Green — changes the amount of green in the color image. Blue — changes the amount of blue in the color image. • Adjust these settings by dragging the slider bar to the left or right, entering a value in the text box or using the up/down arrows.
Background Smoothing — use this option when you are scanning documents or forms with a colored background. Background Smoothing produces images with a uniform color. The benefit of using this option is improved image quality and reduced file size. • Background: select one of the following: - None - no background smoothing will be done. - Automatic - background smoothing is applied to the actual color. - Change to White - identifies the background color and substitutes that color with white.
Dropout tab The Dropout tab displays the Image Mode and Mode information that was previously described. Refer to the section entitled, “The main ISIS Driver tab” earlier in this chapter for descriptions. Electronic color dropout is used to eliminate a form’s background so that a document management system may automatically — through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) technology — read pertinent data without interference from the lines and boxes of the form.
Log tab The Log tab provides a listing of any errors that have been encountered. You can either save this information to a file by clicking the Save icon, or print the displayed information. About tab A-61560 June 2006 Displays information about your scanner and driver.

Scan Area dialog box The Scan Area dialog box allows you to define the amount of image data which is returned to the host. The area can be defined in Pixels, Inches or Centimeters. The Scan Area dialog box is only available when Fixed to Transport or Relative to Document is selected on the Scanner Settings dialog box. Page Size the default paper size is set when a scanner is first selected. You can choose a different paper size using the drop-down list box.
5 Maintenance Cleaning the scanner Your scanner needs to be cleaned periodically. If your documents do not feed easily, if several documents feed at the same time or if streaks appear on your images, it is time to clean your scanner. The section entitled, “Supplies and consumables” at the end of this chapter provides a listing of the supplies required to clean your scanner. IMPORTANT: Use only non-flammable cleaners such as those provided through Kodak Parts Services.
Cleaning the rollers and transport 1. With a roller cleaning pad, wipe the feed rollers from side to side. Rotate the feed rollers to clean the entire surface. IMPORTANT: The roller cleaning pad contains sodium lauryl ether sulfate which can cause eye irritation. Refer to the MSDS for more information. 2. Dry the rollers with a lint-free cloth. Cleaning or replacing the separation module The separation module should be removed from the scanner for best cleaning results.
2. Manually rotate and wipe the separation module tires with a roller cleaning pad. 3. Inspect the separation module. If the separation module tires show signs of wear or damage, replace the tires or the separation module. See the next section for procedures. 4. Insert the separation module by aligning the pins and placing it into position.
Replacing the separation module tires The i1200/i1300 Series Scanners use high quality tires that were engineered to provide the ultimate in feeding reliability across the broadest range of document types, sizes and thicknesses. When the scanner is used in a normal office operating environment, the transport and tires are cleaned using approved cleaning solutions on a regular basis and the documents scanned are high quality 20 lb.
NOTE: Use caution as the separation module is spring-loaded and will snap back if you do not hold it in place. 3. Remove the separation roller from the separation module housing. 4. Remove each tire by sliding the tire off the core. 5. Install each new tire by gently pulling it over the core. 6. Replace the separation roller in the separation roller housing. Be sure the separation roller snaps into place. 7. Reinstall the separation module.
Cleaning or replacing the feed module Degradation of feeder performance, multiple feeds, stoppages, etc. indicate a need to change the feed module. Certain paper types such as carbonless paper or newsprint, or failure to clean regularly, and/or use of non-recommended cleaning solvents (do not clean with alcohol) can shorten the feed module life. For additional feed modules, see the section entitled, “Supplies and consumables” later in this chapter.
2. Rotate the feed module upward and push it to the left to lift it out of position. 3. Manually rotate and wipe the feed module tires with a roller cleaning pad. 4. Inspect the feed module. If the feed module tires show signs of wear or damage, replace the tires or the feed module. See the next section for procedures. 5. Using a vacuum or cleaning pad, remove dust and debris from the feed module area.
6. Insert the feed module by aligning the pins and pushing it toward the left to fit it into position. Be sure the gears are aligned and it snaps into place. 7. Reinstall the feed module cover by aligning the tabs in the slots and pushing the feed module cover down until it snaps into place.
3. Replace each tire by sliding the tire off the core. Core assembly 4. Install each new tire by gently pulling it over the core. IMPORTANT:Do not overstretch the tire; it may tear. 5. Replace the core assembly in the feed module. You may need to slide the shaft so the core fits properly within the feed module housing. Slide shaft 6. Repeat the replacement procedure outlined above for the other core assembly. 7. Reinstall the feed module. 8.
Vacuuming the scanner Before cleaning the imaging area, it is suggested that you vacuum the inside of the scanner to remove any dust and debris. Cleaning the imaging area 1. Remove dust and debris from this area by using a Staticide wipe or a small brush. Be careful not to scratch the imaging area when cleaning. IMPORTANT: Staticide wipes contain isopropanol which can cause eye irritation and dry skin. Wash your hands with soap and water after performing maintenance procedures.
