Introduction
Kodak’s low volume production scanners include image processing
technology that can improve image quality and sometimes make the
reproduction better than the original.
Kodak Digital Science
™ Scanner 1500
Kodak Digital Science
™ Scanner 2500
You can use the ISIS driver or TWAIN Data Source (both are available
on the CD that is included with the scanner) or
Kodak Digital Science
Low Volume Capture Software to enable image processing.
Many popular scanning applications are also compatible with these
scanners. However, other scanning applications may not be able to
access any or all of the image processing options.
Not all image processing features are available for each scanner or
each driver. Refer to the table on the following page for the features
available for each scanner.
NOTE: The scanned images used in this guide were selected for the
challenges presented to a typical scanner due to the low-
contrast characteristics of the images.

Memory
Requirements The Scanner 1500 and the Scanner 2500 both have 8 MB of memory
already installed. This may be sufficient for your scanning needs.
Additional memory may be required, depending on the selected
resolution and paper size. You may add up to 64 MB more memory on
SIMM modules for a total of 72 MB. (Memory is available in 8, 16, or 32
MB modules. Obtain memory at a local retailer.) Up to two SIMM
modules can be installed for the required extended memory. Refer to
the scanner’s User’s Guide for information about installing memory.
The tables below and on the following page show how much memory
(in MB) you would need to add to scan a particular paper size at a
given resolution. (“0” means that no additional memory is required.)
