1 Introduction

Kodak i100 Series Scanners

The Kodak i100 Series Scanners are

low-volume production scanners

which include image processing

technology, can improve image

quality and sometimes make the

reproduction better than the original.

You can use the applications based on the ISIS Driver or TWAIN Data

source to enable image processing (both are available on the CD

included with the scanner). Kodak Capture Software is also available as

a choice for your scanning application.

Other popular scanning applications are also compatible with these

scanners, however, these applications may not be able to access all of

the image processing options. Refer to your application vendor’s

documentation for specific information.

The features The following configurations of the i100 Series Scanners are available.

♦ Kodak i150 Scanner desktop simplex color scanner with an

automatic document feeder that runs at 40 pages per minute at 200

dpi, landscape orientation.

♦ Kodak i160 Scanner desktop duplex color scanner with an

automatic document feeder that runs at 40 pages per minute at 200

dpi, landscape orientation.

About this manual This manual provides the following:

Chapter 1, Introduction includes a brief summary of the Kodak i100

Series Scanners, a list of features available for each scanner and the

support drivers.

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.

Image outputs i100 Series Scanners can return bi-tonal, grayscale or color images to

the host. Below is a description of the valid combinations.

The i150 Scanner is a simplex scanner. This means that only one side of

the document may be captured.

The i160 Scanner is a duplex scanner. This means both the front and

the rear side of each document may be captured. For each side

captured, the scanner can be configured to return either one or two

images per side:

• Single output (one image per side): bi-tonal/binary, grayscale, or

color.

• Simultaneous output (two images per side): bi-tonal and color or

bi-tonal and grayscale.

The host application controls which of these images is transferred to the

host to be stored as an image file. An example of simultaneous output

where all four images are returned to the host would create the following

four files:

• Front bi-tonal/binary: FB.tif. This image file represents the

contents of the front side of the document using one-bit per pixel.

• Front color: FC.jpg. This image file represents the contents of the

front side of the document using 24-bits per pixel.

• Rear bi-tonal/binary: RB.tif. This image file represents the contents

of the rear side of the document using one-bit per pixel.

• Rear color: RC.jpg. This image file represents the contents of the

rear side of the document using 24-bits per pixel.

NOTE: Actual file formats are determined by the host application.

A-61517 October 2004 1-4

These image files can be controlled through the application

independently.

FB.tif (front bi-tonal) FC.jpg (front color) RB.tif (rear bi-tonal) RC.jpg (rear color)

Another example of a simultaneous output where all four images are

returned to the host would create the following four files:

• Front grayscale: FG.jpg. This image file represents the contents of

the front side of the document using 8-bits per pixel.

• Front bi-tonal/binary: FB.tif. This image file represents the

contents of the front side of the document using 1-bit per pixel.

• Rear grayscale: RG.jpg. This image file represents the contents of

the rear side of the document using 8-bits per pixel.

• Rear bi-tonal/binary: RB.tif. This image file represents the contents

of the rear side of the document using 1-bit per pixel.

NOTE: Actual file formats are determined by the host application.

2 Best Practices

This chapter provides you with recommendations for program

logic, which will allow you to interact efficiently with the i100

Series Scanner. This high-level information is not intended to be

used as a programming guide. The following information is

provided in this chapter:

• Basic image capture

• Controlling image transfer order – switching between

color/grayscale and bi-tonal

• Jam recovery

• Image file storage locations

• Bar code recognition

• Controlling print strings

• Electronic color dropout (form design, dropout colors)

• Available image header information and its uses

• Zone processing (re-combining images, especially for viewing)

NOTE: The term host refers to either the driver or application.

Basic image capture Basic image capture is the high-level logic flow for retrieving images

from the scanner.

Follow this sequence to scan documents:

• setup the scanner

• enable scanning

• initiate polling

• feed documents

• disable scanning

A-61517 October 2004 2-2

Scanner setup To setup the scanner:

1. Setup your scanner operating conditions:

• simplex/duplex

• image order

• transport timeout

• transport timeout response

• length detection status and response

• multi-feed detection status and response

• page-on-demand or batch count mode

• starting document count

• Energy Star timeout

• confirmation tone

For information on programming these conditions, see Chapters

3 or 4 (depending on your driver). For other vendor tool kits, refer

to their documentation.

2. Select your color table as appropriate for color document

scanning. See Chapters 3 or 4 (depending on your driver). For

other vendor tool kits, refer to their documentation.

3. Determine if any changes to the Image Processing parameters

need to be made for the current application.

NOTE: This check needs to occur for up to four separate images

from the six available options depending on your

application: Front Color, Front Bi-tonal, Front Grayscale,

Rear Color, Rear Bi-tonal, Rear Grayscale.

Image Processing parameter changes remain in effect until one

of the following conditions occur:

• The scanner is powered down using the power switch.

• New imaging parameters are sent from the host.

4. Prepare documents according to the instructions found in the

Kodak i100 Series Scanners, User’s Guide.

A-61517 October 2004 2-3

Enable scanning The host must issue a Scan command to enable scanning before

documents can be transported through the scanner. If scanning has

not been enabled, the feeder and transport system will not turn on.

Initiate polling Initiate host system polling of the scanner to ensure scanned

document images are transferred from the image buffer to the host

system. Polling should continue until scanning is disabled.

For more information see the sections entitled, “Controlling

image transfer order” and “Image header information” later in this

chapter.

Feed documents Feed documents according to the instructions found in the Kodak

i100 Series Scanners, User's Guide.

Disable scanning Scanning is disabled to allow the host to download configuration/

setup changes between jobs and to handle certain types of errors.

Scanning is also disabled when one of the following conditions

occur:

• The scanner is first powered on using the power switch.

• A 1394 bus device Reset command is executed.

• A scanner-unique End-of-Job command is issued by the host

computer.

• Transport timeout is set to End-of-Job.

• An error occurs requiring fault recovery.

NOTE: When scanning is disabled, documents cannot be scanned

until the host enables scanning.
