Manual feeding Follow the guidelines for document size, type, weight, quantity, etc. Position the documents face down with the leading edge centered in the automatic document feeder, then start scanning.
4 Image Processing Overview This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to some users. The Kodak i1400 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 features.
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 both the TWAIN datasource and the ISIS driver. Toolbar buttons Setup — displays the user interface for the selected 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 of 1. To see every 10th image, enter a value of 10. Total displays the total number of images scanned during the current Scan Validation Tool session.
Using the TWAIN datasource The Kodak i1400 Series Scanners can provide a wide variety of electronic images. This can be done by using the TWAIN datasource Kodak provides in concert with your scanning application. The TWAIN datasource is the part of the capture system which links the scanner to your scanning application. When using the TWAIN datasource, the main Kodak Scanner window will display a list of Setting Shortcuts. Each Setting Shortcut is a group of specific image and device settings.
The procedures that follow describe how to configure a customized Setting Shortcut. Complete descriptions of the features and options on the Kodak Scanner window and tabs are found in the section entitled, “The main Kodak Scanner window”. NOTE: Setting Shortcuts can sometimes be overridden by your scanning application. If this happens, the shortcut you call will appear in the main Kodak Scanner window in italics with the word next to it.
3. Place one or two representative documents in the input tray of the scanner. NOTE: When scanning one side of a document or if you are using an i1410 Scanner, be sure to place the side of the document to be scanned facing the input tray. 4. If you want to see what your selected image processing options will look like and make on-screen changes, click Preview to review and adjust the image.

Content Settings tab The options on the Content Settings tab can be used for either one- or two-sided 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 • Low: documents requiring only a small amount of color to be saved as color/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.
Creating color/grayscale or black and white images based on the content of your documents, Example 1 In this example, let’s assume you want to configure a scan session that has a mix of color and black and white documents with information on both sides. In addition, you want the scanner to detect whether the page is color or not, and then output either a color or black and white image based on that. 1. Select a Setting Shortcut from the main Kodak Scanner window that closely describes your desired output.
7. Go to the Content Settings tab. 8. Select a Sensitivity option. 9. Select Done to return to the Image Settings window. NOTE: You will notice that the Side option now has two entries: Both: Color (24 bit) and Both: Black and White (1bit). 10. Select Sides: Both: Black and White (1-bit). NOTE: Make any other adjustments to the black and white image settings on the rest of the tabs on the Image Settings window. 11.
Creating multiple images for each side of a document, Example 2 In this example, let’s assume you want to configure a scan session that has documents with information on both sides and you want the scanner to produce both a color and a black and white image for each side of each document. 1. Select a Setting Shortcut from the main Kodak Scanner window that closely describes your desired output. 2. Select Settings to display the Image Settings window. 3.
7. By default the scanner will produce the color/grayscale image first and deliver it to the scanning application, then it will produce and deliver the black and white image. If you want the black and white image to be produced and delivered first: • make sure Black and White(1-bit) is selected • select Move up to place the black and white image first in the list. 8. Select Done to return to the Image Settings window.
Creating different settings for each side of a document, Example 3 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. If you are not already on the Advanced tab: • Select a Setting Shortcut from the main Kodak Scanner window that closely describes your desired output. • Select Settings to display the Image Settings window.
9. Select Black and White (1-bit) for the Scan as option on the General tab. NOTE: Make any other adjustments to the back side settings on the rest of the tabs on the Image Settings window. 10.

This option is only available when Logging is turned on in the Debug tab.
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. • 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 the following 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 i1400 Series 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 • 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.) and line art.
• Invert Image allows you to select how the black pixels will be stored in the image. By default the black pixels are stored as black and the white pixels are stored as white. Turn this option on if you want the black pixels stored as white and the white pixels stored as black. NOTE: You may want to change this option if your application misinterprets the image data and stores your image in reverse of what you expect.
Scanner tab The Scanner tab provides the following options. Paper Source NOTE: Flatbed options are only available if your scanner is equipped with the Kodak i1400 Series A3 Flatbed Accessory. • ADF: if you are scanning documents from the input tray. • Flatbed: if you are scanning documents using the flatbed. Transport timeout — allows you to set the amount of time the scanner will wait after the last document enters the transport before the transport timeout action is taken.
Multi-feed Detection options • Length Detection enable or disable (the default) this option. If enabled, select the maximum length of the document that can be scanned without a multi-feed being detected. Length detection is used when scanning same-sized documents to check for overlap. For example, if you are scanning 8.5 x 11-inch (A4) documents in portrait mode, enter a value of 11.25 inches (28.57 cm) in the Maximum Length field. The maximum value is 13.99 inches (35.56 cm).
Auto Color Detect tab The Auto Color Detect tab provides the following options. Color Content • None • 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. • Medium: documents require more color, as compared with the Low option, before they are saved as color or grayscale images.
• 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.
• Apply to: - Predominant - smooths the predominant background color to white. - Neutral - smooths only the neutral color to white, and also smooths up to two additional background colors. - All - smooths the neutral color and up to two additional background colors to white. NOTE: The Apply to options are only available for Method: Change to White. • Aggressiveness: allows you to adjust the extent at which the background(s) are determined. The values range from -10 to 10. The default is 0.
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. The Dropout tab is used to eliminate a form's background so that only the entered data is included in the electronic image (i.e., remove the form’s lines and boxes).
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 112 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. NOTE: Select the side and image to be defined by highlighting Front Image #1, Front Image #2, etc. based on the cropping option selected for each of these in the main ISIS Driver window. The scan areas defined for all camera selections are independent. To access the Scan Area dialog box, select Scan Area on the Layout tab.
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. NOTE: Page Size and Page Layout selections also appear on the Layout tab. If you make a change on the Scan Area dialog box, the same selections appear on the Layout tab and vice versa.
