SCSI interface
device ID
When there are several devices on a SCSI chain, you may need to adjust the
SCSI ID selector on the scanner. This selector assigns a specific device ID
to the scanner. If the assignment conflicts with an existing SCSI device, select
a new ID.
NOTE: The factory SCSI ID setting for the scanner is 6. SCSI ID 0 is usually
assigned to an internal hard disk drive and 7, 8, and 9 are not in
actual use. The scanner will not operate properly if the SCSI ID is
set to 7, 8, or 9.
• Using a suitable tool, turn the SCSI ID selector switch until the arrow points
to the desired ID number.
SCSI ID selector
SCSI terminator switch
Setting the
SCSI terminator
The scanner comes with a built-in SCSI terminator. The terminator ON/OFF
switch is located on the scanner between the SCSI cable connectors.
• If the scanner is the only or the last device in a SCSI chain, place the
terminator switch in the ON position.
• If the scanner is to be located between the computer and another SCSI
device, place the terminator switch in the OFF position.

Select the mode you want to use for your scans on the Image Type drop-
down menu.
Image Type
Black and White—the image appears in black and white with no intermediate
shades of gray. That means that each pixel of the image is either 100% black
or 100% white.
Choose Black and White if you are scanning text or pen and ink drawings.
Since only one bit of black or white information is required per pixel, the
file size of a Black and White image is only about 1/24 the size of a 24-Bit
Color image.
Halftone—a halftone is a picture like that which is usually seen in a
newspaper or magazine. Since a halftone is a type of black-and-white
image, the file size of a halftone image is only about 1/24 the size of a 24-Bit
Color image.
Halftone simulates grayscale by using varying dot sizes. If you view a halftone
image at a certain distance, it looks much like a grayscale image, but the file
size is smaller.
When you select Halftone, a submenu appears that allows you to select a
halftone pattern.
8-Bit Gray—a single-channel image consists of at least 256 shades of gray.
An 8-bit scanner produces a grayscale image with 1024 shades of gray
between pure black and pure white. Choose this option if you are scanning
black-and-white photographs.
With 8 bits of color information per pixel, the file size of an image is eight times
larger than a Black and White image and 1/3 the size of a 24-Bit Color image.
8-Bit Color—an 8-Bit Color image provides 256 color hues in the image.
The file size of a 256 color image is 1/3 the size of a 24-Bit Color image
(TWAIN only).
24-Bit Color—a 24-Bit Color image consists of three 8-bit color channels. The
red, green, and blue channels are mixed together to create a combination of
one billion colors which give a more true-to-life quality to the image. Choose
24-Bit Color if you are scanning color photos.

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 will be.
Resolution
However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file
size. Therefore, up to a certain dpi level, the resolution will not be visually
improved, but the file size will be larger.
Tips
An A4-size color image scanned at 300 dpi in 24-Bit Color mode is
approximately 25 MB in size. A higher resolution (usually over 600 dpi) is
recommended only when you need to scan a small area in 24-Bit Color mode.
Refer to the following table to choose the best image resolution for use with
your application.

The Brightness option allows you to adjust the image brightness, making it
lighter or darker. Select a brightness setting from -100 to 100 by dragging the
Brightness sliding control bar. The default is “0.” The smaller the number,
the darker the image. Scan the document and check the brightness.
Brightness
A darker setting is recommended for blurred character documents. With a
brighter setting, background noise in a color document disappears.
The Contrast option sets the image contrast by adjusting the difference
between black and white, thereby making an image sharper or softer. Select a
contrast setting from -100 to 100 by dragging the Contrast sliding control bar.
The default is “0.” Scan the document and check the contrast.
Contrast
In a low-contrast setting, the difference between black and white is small, so
the image is softer. In a high-contrast setting, the difference between black
and white is large, so the image is clearer.

Maintenance
The scanner is designed to be maintenance free. However, it must be cleaned
occasionally to ensure optimum image quality and performance. Clean the
scanner when it does not feed documents smoothly or if multiple-sheet
feeding occurs.
For best scanner performance, clean the glass scanning areas and the feed
module and rollers at least once per week. Use only these cleaning materials:
• Kodak Digital Science Roller Cleaning Pads (CAT. No. 853-5981)
• Staticide Wipes for KODAK Scanners (CAT. No. 896-5519)
IMPORTANT: Staticide Wipes contain isopropanol which can cause eye
irritation and dry skin. Wash your hands with soap and water
after performing maintenance procedures.
Use of other cleaning materials could damage your scanner.

Replacing the
feed module
After approximately 100,000 pages have been scanned through the ADF, the
separation pad on the feed module may become worn and cause document
feeding problems. In this case, you should replace the feed module.
Four replacement feed modules are included with your scanner. To order more
feed modules, consult your dealer (order KODAK Feed Module for Scanners
i50/i60/i80; CAT. No. 162-3362).
1. Open the ADF.
2. Remove the feed module by squeezing the side tabs on the module and
pulling it out.

Troubleshooting
The scanner automatically performs a simple self-test each time it is powered
up. This helps spot major system errors in the scanner itself. When the self-
test is initiated, the READY light flashes. When the self-test has completed and
no error has occurred, the READY light is steadily illuminated.
Occasionally, you may experience a problem with your scanner. In many
cases, you can easily fix the problem yourself. Refer to the following chart for
some common problems and their solutions.

The color image quality is not acceptable
Color image quality is highly subjective. Here are some things to
consider when scanning in color:
• The differing color gamuts of capture, display, and output
devices can affect color perception. Computer monitor displays
and printer output can vary from model to model and from
manufacturer to manufacturer. An image may be acceptable
on one monitor and unacceptable on another.
• Area lighting (fluorescent, natural, incandescent) can affect
color perception.
• The appearance of a colored area within an image can be
perceived differently, based on what surrounds it.
• The characteristics and condition of a document can have an
impact on color consistency.
• Color requirements may differ between environments (e.g., in a
business document environment, images are generally viewed
on a monitor, whereas in a “print on demand” environment,
scanned images are printed.)
• Make sure that the ADF and the glass areas are clean
before scanning.
