Patch Code Information for Kodak Scanners Patch description This document provides information that supports the following scanners. • Kodak Scanners 9XYZ, 5XYZ, 7XYZ, i800/i1800 (with image addressing) Series Scanners and the Kodak Microimager 70—these scanners are equipped with the Patch Reader. The Patch Reader recognizes patches with bars that are parallel to the lead edge of the document. All of these scanners may use patches for image addressing.
Patch Types 1, 4 and 6 can be used by the host for post-scan image control for the i800/i1800 (with image addressing) Series Scanners (they are not used for image addressing). The Toggle Patch may be used to switch back and forth from bi-tonal and color/grayscale scanning for the i280, 3590C, i600, i800 and i1800 (without image addressing) Series Scanners. This provides Color on the Fly during capture, with no need for post-scan processing by the host application.
