4 Image Processing Overview This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to many users. The Kodak ScanMate i1120 Scanner provides 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.
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 the TWAIN datasource. Toolbar buttons Setup — displays the user interface for the TWAIN datasource.
Save Images to Files — saves 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. Last File displays the full path and file name for the last stored image.
How do I begin? The goal is to make scanning as simple as possible. This is accomplished by selecting a Setting Shortcut from the main Kodak Scanner window and then selecting OK/Scan. The scanner comes with some Setting Shortcuts already defined. In most cases, you will find that these shortcuts are all you will need. If you find that you need different settings, then you should create your own Setting Shortcut.
Selecting Image settings From the main Kodak Scanner window: 1. Select a predefined Setting Shortcut from the Setting Shortcuts list. Choose a Setting Shortcut that describes as closely as possible the image output you desire. 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.
5. If you are satisfied with your selected image processing options, reload your document if necessary and click OK/Scan. • If the images are acceptable, the image processing settings are fine and you do not need to click the Settings button to alter any values in the General, Size, Adjustments or Enhancements tabs.
Selecting Device settings 1. Select the Setting Shortcut that you just created. 2. Select Settings to access the Image Settings window. 3. Select Device.

Image appears to be cut off If you are scanning a document with a reflective area (such as a hologram on a credit card), and this reflective area is fed “face up” and off-center such that it passes over the left-edge sensor, the sensor will be triggered as if it were the end of the page and will result in a cut-off image. • Rescan the document by feeding it face down.

USB connection issues The USB verification tool will check your operating system and hardware capability to determine if you have a functioning USB 2.0 or if you need to install a USB card. Your operating system is correctly configured to support USB 2.0. If a functioning USB 2.0 port is present, this dialog box will be displayed. Your operating system supports USB 2.0, however, a USB 1.1 port was found. • If your PC does not have a USB 2.0 port installed, you should install a USB 2.0 Accessory card.
