3 Using the Scanner Turning the scanner on and off • Press the power switch on the back of the scanner to turn the scanner on (I) or off (O). When you turn on the scanner, it will go through a series of self-tests. When completed, the green indicator light will remain on and constant. Adjusting the input tray Documents are placed into the input tray to be scanned through the automatic document feeder. To adjust the input tray: 1. Lift the input tray to about a 45° angle. 2.
To accommodate longer documents (longer than 36 cm / 14 in.): • Pull the input tray extension wire out to the desired length. The input tray has side guides that can be adjusted to accommodate the size of the documents you are scanning. To adjust the side guides: • Move the side guides in/out to the desired position.
Installing and adjusting the output tray The output tray receives scanned documents from the automatic document feeder after they are scanned. Before scanning documents, be sure the output tray is properly installed and adjusted. To install and adjust the output tray: 1. Hold the output tray at about a 30° angle. 2. Insert the three tabs on the output tray into the three slots on the automatic document feeder. 3. Lower the tray to lock it into place. 4.
Document preparation • A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered in the input tray; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a time. • Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the scanner and documents. Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. • Documents should be in good condition. Paper Weights: 60 g/m2 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 28 lbs.) Minimum Document Size: 9.4 x 14 cm (3.
Scanning your documents Using the ADF Standard paper size documents should feed easily through the scanner. • Lift the balance wire and place the documents you want to scan facedown into the input tray of the scanner. Using the flatbed Use the flatbed to scan documents that cannot be scanned using the ADF. 1. Lift the flatbed cover. 2. Place the document face down on the glass platen. 3. Position the document with the upper right corner aligned with the reference mark.
Verifying your scanner installation Kodak provides a test application called the Kodak Scan Validation Tool. This section describes how to use this tool to perform a basic scan function which includes feeding paper and viewing captured images on your PC. The following steps help you to verify that your scanner installation was successful. If this procedure is successful, you will be ready to use your scanner.
3. Select Defaults. A confirmation message, Reset all values to factory defaults? will be displayed. 4. Click OK. This resets the software to the factory-installed default settings. The factory default settings are set to capture bi-tonal images. For a Kodak i55 Scanner one side of the document will be scanned. For a Kodak i65 Scanner both sides of the document will be scanned. 5. Click OK on the Kodak Scanner Properties dialog box.
The Scan Validation Tool screen will be displayed. Be sure Save Images To Files is checked and click one of the four icons to display the images in the Scan Validation Tool window 6. Lift the balance wire and place some sample documents face-down into the input tray of the scanner. Balance wire 7. Click the Start button on the Scan Validation Tool. The documents will be scanned and displayed in the Scan Validation Tool window.
Viewing test images The images you scanned can be found in the TWAIN folder on the C drive. Files will be named using the following naming convention: image0000001A.jpg is a front image; image0000001B.jpg is a back image. Double-click on this file to open and view the captured image. Because factory default settings were used, the image quality may not be optimized to meet your needs. To learn more about image processing features, go to Chapter 4, Image Processing.
4 Image Processing Overview This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to many users. The Kodak i55 and i65 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.
When you use the Kodak Scan Validation Tool, you will need to select which camera(s) you want to use to scan your document to get the desired results. You can use the following examples as a guide when making camera selections. Making camera selections When you launch the Kodak Scan Validation Tool, you will be making selections on the dialog boxes to set up your images for scanning test documents. Both TWAIN and ISIS have camera selection boxes that refer to the cameras within the scanners.
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.
Starting the Scan Validation Tool 1. Select Start>Run or select Programs>Kodak>Document Imaging>Scan Validation Tool. Enter the filename or choose Browse to locate the ScanValidation.exe file. 2. Select TWAIN (or ISIS) for the Driver Type and the Kodak Scanner i55/i65 Scanner as the Driver. The Scan Validation Tool dialog box will be displayed. 3. Double-click the Scanner icon to access the Kodak Scanner Properties dialog box.
Using the TWAIN Datasource The TWAIN Datasource is a piece of software that communicates with your Kodak Scanner. It is provided with the i55 and i65 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 tabs and how to set these options. If you are using the TWAIN Datasource, follow the procedures in this section to set up your scanner.
The Imaging tab The Imaging tab allows you to define several image processing values that can be applied to your scanner. The Camera Selection box lists the available sides (front and rear) of any document where you can define individual image processing values. For detailed information about the cameras, refer to the beginning of this chapter, “Making camera selections”. On the Kodak i65 Scanner there is a separate camera for each side of the document being scanned.
Scanning bi-tonal images Bi-tonal images are scanned images that are made up of only blackand-white elements. The descriptions below are for bi-tonal images only. Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a bi-tonal image. There are several different methods of performing this conversion. Two of the options Kodak provides are iThresholding and Adaptive Threshold Processing. These options are applied to grayscale scanned images and output a bi-tonal electronic image.
When Adaptive Thresholding is selected, Contrast values may range from 1 to 100. Fixed thresholding ATP disabled ATP enabled Fixed Processing used for black-and-white and other high contrast documents. A single level is set to determine the black-and-white transition. The threshold is programmable over the entire density range. Fixed thresholding sets Contrast to 0. If Fixed Processing is selected, Contrast is not available.
• Majority Rule sets the central pixel value in a matrix according to the majority of white or black pixels in a matrix. No Noise Filter Used Lone Pixel Image Filter used to enhance images containing dot matrix text and/ or images printed with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens. This filter effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone screen. Choose (none) or Halftone Removal.
Threshold used to convert a grayscale image to a bi-tonal image. The thresholding value is an integer ranging from 0 to 255. A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information. A high threshold value produces a darker image, and can be used to help pick up faint images.
Color Table Not applicable for bi-tonal images. See the next section “Scanning color images”. Paper Source — provides the following options: • ADF: select this option when using the scanner in continuous feed mode. • Flatbed: select this option when using the flatbed for scanning documents that cannot be scanned when used the automatic document feeder, such as thick or bound documents (books).
Scanning color images The descriptions below are for scanning color images only. 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. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size. Choose a resolution value from the drop down list. The default is 200 dpi. Available resolutions are: 75, 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400 or 600.
Scanning grayscale images The descriptions below are for scanning grayscale images only. 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. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size. Choose a resolution value from the drop down list. The default is 200 dpi. Available resolutions are: 75, 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400 or 600.
The Paper tab The Paper tab allows you to define values relating to image output (i.e., cropping values, rotation, paper size and units of measure). Camera selection box lists the available sides of an image that you can define individual image processing values. The display window on the right will display the cropping area you are altering. The cropping area will change as values are being altered. Cropping values Cropping allows you to capture a portion of the document being scanned.
• Relative to Document (zone processing): (used for batches of same-sized documents) — zone processing is a floating fixed crop window (the zone) located relative to the upper left corner of a document. It allows you to select an area on the document to be delivered in either color/grayscale or bi-tonal format (a separate window for both bi-tonal and color/grayscale may be defined). Different parameters may be selected for both the front and rear of the image.
Automatic Deskew select this option to automatically deskew a document within ±0.3 degrees of the leading edge of the document. This option is only available if you have Automatic cropping selected. Image Edge Fill — fills the edges of a scanned image, after all other image processing options have been applied, by covering the area in Black or White (as selected). Select a value in the Top, Left, Right and/or Bottom area(s) from each side of the scanned image to be filled.
The Compression tab Compression squeezes a file to decrease the total size. Bi-tonal images are normally compressed using a CCITT standard called Group IV, often used in conjunction with TIFF files. Color and grayscale images are often compressed using JPEG techniques. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a file format standard commonly used for bi-tonal images. It is often used in conjuction with the CCITT Group IV compression standard to reduce image file size.
The following color/grayscale compression options are available: • JPEG — JPEG compression offers a JPEG quality of Draft, Good, Better, Best, Superior. - Draft: smallest file size with draft image quality - Good: larger file size with good image quality - Better: larger file size with better image quality - Best: larger file size with the best image quality - Superior: largest file size with superior image quality • (none) produces an uncompressed bitmap.
The Dropout tab 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. The i55/i65 Scanners can dropout either red, green or blue. The Dropout tab allows you to select the desired dropout color and alter the filter threshold and background.
The Multifeed tab Multi-feed Detection aids in document processing by detecting documents that may go through the feeder overlapped. Length Detection choose the minimum length of the document that can be scanned with a multi-feed being detected. The Display window will show the size of the document as you change the value. You can select to display this amount in Inches, Centimeters, Picas, Points, 20th of Points or Pixels. A value of 0 indicates no length detection.
The Options tab The Options tab allows you to set Image Transfer and Transport control. Image Transfer Order if you are using simultaneous output scanning (bi-tonal and color/grayscale) for either side, this option controls the order in which the scanner returns image data. For example, if you are scanning color and bi-tonal and you select Bi-tonal Image, the scanner will return the bi-tonal front image, then the front color image. Transport Timeout allows you to set a transport timeout value.
The Setup tab The Setup tab allows you to download firmware and set the scanner clock. The Setup tab is only available when running the Scan Validation Tool, via the TWAIN Datasource. Package the scanner firmware runs your Kodak i55/i65 Scanners. The value displayed in the Current field is the version of firmware currently in use by your scanner. Periodically Kodak releases updated versions of firmware which are available through Kodak Service and Support.
The Info tab 52 The Info tab displays information that is pertinent to your scanner.
Using the ISIS Driver The ISIS Driver is a piece of software that communicates with the scanner. This driver is created and maintained by Pixel Translations, Inc. 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 ISIS dialog boxes and how to set these options.
Default when you select Default, the values will be reset to the factory defaults. OK saves the values set on all dialog boxes. Cancel closes the dialog box without saving any changes. Camera Settings area The selections in the Camera area list the available sides (front and back) of an image where you can define individual image processing values. Options include: Front Color, Front Binary, Back Color and Back Binary.
Configure highlight the image you want to setup. As you select the image, other options will become available on the Scanner Settings dialog box. The availability of these options is dependent upon the selection you make. Convert Color to Grayscale this option is only available when configuring color cameras. When selected, the scanner will convert the color image data to grayscale before making it available to the host PC.
Cropping allows you to capture a portion of the document being scanned. All cropping options can be used with color/grayscale and binary images. Front and Rear cropping are independent, however, for simultaneous output scanning, color/grayscale and binary 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.
NOTES: • You can scan documents larger than 35.56 cm (14 in.) and less than 86 cm (34 in.) in length when the host PC is configured with adequate memory (see “System requirements” for more information regarding memory requirements). • Automatic and Relative to Document cropping in Flatbed mode work well in most cases. When the scanner cover is removed to accommodate large magazines, books, or other bound material or when the flatbed glass becomes dirty, Automatic cropping performance may not be as desired.
Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a binary image. There are several different methods of performing this conversion. The following descriptions are for binary images only. The following binarization options work on grayscale scanned images and outputs a bi-tonal electronic image.
Dithering a method used to simulate gray levels. When selected, the Dithering options are available. • 64-Level Bayer Dither, 64-Level 45 Degree Clustered Dot Screen and 64-Level Dispersed Dot Screen: these represent alternative screening options to emulate gray. Contrast % sets the image contrast by adjusting the difference between black-and-white, thereby making an image sharper or softer. Contrast is only available for binary images.
Adjust the Threshold setting by dragging the Threshold sliding bar to the left or right to achieve the desired Threshold setting. Scan the document to check the threshold. 200 dpi; 80 Threshold; 20 Contrast 200 dpi; 80 Threshold; 100 Contrast Lighten, Normal and Darken are used as quick sets to adjust the threshold. Lighten = 72, Normal = 90 and Darken = 128.
More Scanner Settings dialog box Additional image processing values unique to the i55/i65 Scanners are available when you choose the More button on the Scanner Settings dialog box. Camera settings area The selections in the Camera area list the available sides (front and back) of an image where you can define individual image processing values. When starting the configuration process, use the steps below as a guide: 1. Check the images you wish to capture (Enable camera settings). 2.
Convert Color to Grayscale this option is only available when configuring color cameras. When selected, the scanner will convert the color image data to grayscale before making it available to the host. Scan Source the host PC provides information to the scanner defining whether to scan one or both sides of the document. Simplex indicates that only one side (front side) of the document will be scanned. Simplex – Back indicates that only one side (rear side) of the document will be scanned.
Halftone Removal used to enhance images containing dot matrix text and/or images with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens. This filter effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone screen. This option is only applied to binary images. Polarity the host PC provides information to the scanner defining whether the image should be stored in standard or reverse polarity. The default polarity is Black on a White background. Reverse polarity is White on a Black background.
Color Dropout options 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. You can select the desired dropout color, and alter the filter threshold and background. Electronic color dropout is available only for binary and grayscale images.
Scanner Control dialog box Selecting the Scanner Control button on the More Scanner Settings dialog box displays the Scanner Control dialog box. This dialog box allows you to set multi-feed detection and transport control. The settings in this dialog box do not affect the quality of the image. OK saves the values set on the dialog box. Cancel closes the dialog box without saving any changes. Multi-Feed Detection options Length Detection this option can be enabled or disabled.
Energy Saving features of the scanner Energy Star allows you to set the amount of time the scanner will remain inactive before the scanner goes into an idle state (sleep mode). Choices are: 0 to 60 minutes. Transport timeout This feature allows you to set a transport timeout value. This value is the amount of time the scanner will wait after the last document enters the transport before the transport timeout action is taken. You can specify a time delay setting from 1 to 300 seconds.
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 and layout the default paper size is set when a scanner is first selected. You can choose a different paper size using the dropdown list box.
5 Maintenance Cleaning procedures Your scanner needs to be cleaned periodically. If 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. Do not use household cleaners.
