Image Processing Guide for i200 Series Scanners

Overview This documentation introduces concepts that may be new to many

users. The Kodak i200 Series 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.

Image processing refers to several separate features of the scanner

that allow you to automatically adjust each image in a certain way that

may improve the resulting images. Common examples of image

processing features are correcting any skew in the fed document,

cutting the edges of the image off to remove any unneeded border or

cleaning up extraneous “noise” on the image. The idea is to do this

automatically so you can get better images with a minimum amount of

rework.

The information that follows describes the image processing features

by walking you through the Scan Validation Tool. The same options

should be available on the user interface of the software application you

are using (i.e., Kodak Capture Software). All fields on the Scan

Validation Tool are described in this document.

Common terms Following are a few common terms that are used throughout this

document:

Bi-tonal or Binary — black-and-white.

Simplex — indicates that only one side of the document (the front side)

will be scanned, creating a single page image.

Duplex — indicates that both sides of the document will be scanned,

creating two page images.

Cameras — it is important to understand the concept of “cameras”.

The Kodak i250 Scanner is a simplex scanner. The camera has the

ability to separate color and bi-tonal/binary data simultaneously. This

means it scans one-sided documents; a front color image and a front bi-

tonal/binary image, allowing you to capture one side of a document

either in color/grayscale or black-and-white. Effectively the means you

have two cameras on the i250 Scanner; front color and front bi-tonal.

The Kodak i260 and i280 Scanner are a duplex scanners. The cameras

have the ability to separate color and bi-tonal/binary data

simultaneously. This means it scans both sides of a two-sided

document; a front color image, a rear color image, a front bi-tonal/

binary image, and a rear bi-tonal/binary image, allowing you to capture

both sides of a document in either color/grayscale, black-and-white, or

a combination of color and black-and-white. Effectively this means that

you have four cameras on the i260 and i280 Scanners; front color, rear

color, front bi-tonal and rear bi-tonal.
