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 following configurations of the i100 Series Scanners are available.

i100 Series Scanners can return bi-tonal, grayscale or color images to  
the host. Below is a description of the valid combinations.  
Image outputs  
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.

These image files can be controlled through the application  
independently.  
FB.tif (front bi-tonal)  
FC.jpg (front color)  
RB.tif (rear bi-tonal)

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.

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.

Enable scanning  
Initiate polling  
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 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  
Disable scanning  
Feed documents according to the instructions found in the Kodak  
i100 Series Scanners, User's Guide.  
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.

Error handling  
The scanner recognizes and reports a variety of error conditions.  
Some errors are reported to the host (via the 1394 interface) or via the  
LEDs on the scanner while others are reported to both the host and  
the LEDs.  
An error (via the 1394 interface) is defined as either a current or  
deferred error.  
A current error results from a problem in processing the current  
scanner command. This can include sending an invalid  
command, trying to read from an empty image buffer, or an  
end-of-job condition. Since one or more errors may be pending at  
any time, current errors are reported first.  
A deferred error results from an error condition within the scanner,  
such as a document jam. Deferred errors are reported after  
current errors.  
NOTE: Low-level 1394 commands and information are handled by  
the device driver. The following information is provided for  
reference only.  
Some error conditions disable scanning and cause the document  
transport to stop. This is done to prevent additional images from  
entering the image buffer while allowing the host to perform fault  
recovery activities.  
NOTE: The scanner cannot determine exactly which images were  
affected by the error and which images were not.  
If an error occurs that disables the scanner, the host can continue  
to read images from the image buffer without enabling the  
scanner. However, when the image buffer has been emptied, an  
error will be generated indicating fault recovery is required. This  
differentiates between an end-of-job disable and a disable  
caused by an error. The operator may continue scanning  
documents after the host enables the scanner.

This section provides recommendations for application logic  
associated with scanner jam and fault recovery.  
Jam and fault recovery  
If your scanner is enabled and you are polling when a document jam  
or other fault occurs, use the following procedure to restart  
scanning.  
When a document jam or other fault occurs, the feeder and the  
transport will stop and the scanner will be disabled.  
1. When all images have been retrieved from the scanner  
(image buffer empty), display the last image retrieved for  
operator viewing.  
2. Use the image header of the last image retrieved to  
determine the sequential counter.  
3. Use the information above +1 to seed the next sequential  
counter before re-enabling the scanner.  
4. Instruct the operator to sort through the stack of documents  
being scanned to find the document that produced the last  
successfully scanned image. They must rescan all of the  
documents that follow the last successfully scanned  
document.  
5. Enable the scanner.

This section provides general recommendations regarding the impact  
of image file storage locations on the overall throughput of the scanner.  
Image file storage  
locations  
Depending upon your application, you can receive up to four  
image files per document. Decisions about where to write these  
files when retrieving them could impact the overall throughput of  
the scanner. In order to prevent overwriting data the scanner  
stops feeding paper when the internal image buffer is almost full.  
Scanning will not resume until enough images are retrieved by  
the host to clear sufficient buffer memory. In order to minimize the  
number of times this condition might occur, it is recommended  
that image files are written to a local hard drive to avoid the  
potential overhead of transferring files across the network to  
remote drives during scanning.  
Unlike some Kodak scanners the i100 Series Scanners do not include  
a bar code accessory. Bar code functionality is the responsibility of the  
host system. The main imaging parameter, which may affect bar code  
read rates, is resolution. Either bi-tonal, grayscale or color images may  
be used for bar code applications. Refer to your software  
Bar code recognition  
documentation for their recommendations and/or requirements for  
image file quality to achieve desired read rates.  
The i100 Series Scanners provide the ability to create dropout images  
without changing lamps. The application has the ability to select red,  
green and blue dropout functionality. Only one color can be dropped  
out at a time. This dropout performance is equivalent to color dropout  
functionality when using the traditional color lamp technique.  
Electronic color  
dropout  
Electronic color dropout is used with OCR and ICR applications.  
See your vendor’s documentation for recommendations on  
image quality characteristics.  
Electronic color dropout is applied to the bi-tonal image chain  
only.

When using Adaptive Threshold Processing, there are four  
imaging parameters which effect electronic color dropout:  
Threshold Value/Filter Threshold, Background  
Value/Background, Contrast %, and Threshold. The default  
settings are:  
Contrast% = 50  
Threshold = 90  
Color Filter = 175  
Background = 245  
If the values above do not give you the desired results, you may  
need to vary these values accordingly.  
When using iThresholding, there are three imaging parameters  
which effect electronic color dropout: Threshold Value/Filter  
Threshold, Background Value/Background, and Contrast %. The  
default settings are:  
Contrast% = 50  
Color Filter = 175  
Background = 245  
If the values above do not give you the desired results, you may  
need to vary these values accordingly.  
The tables that follow provide Pantone colors that may be used  
with the red, green and blue dropout option.  
Two categories of performance are provided for each color:  
Colors that can be completely dropped out and colors that are  
very close to complete dropout. These values were established  
by using standard PantoneMatching System® Colors guide  
(uncoated, 175-line screen). If the background of the document  
you are using is not bright white the results may vary.

Zone processing is available on the i100 Series Scanners.  
Zone processing  
Some applications have a requirement to store part of an image  
in color or grayscale and the rest of the image in bi-tonal format  
(this saves storage space by not storing the entire image in color  
or grayscale). Zone processing is a fixed crop window (the zone)  
located relative to the upper left corner of a document. It allows  
the operator to select via the host application areas on the  
document to be delivered in either color, grayscale or bi-tonal  
format. Different zones may be selected for both the front and  
rear of the image.  
This feature may be used in conjunction with auto cropping.  
Following is an example of producing a color zone.

3 Using the TWAIN Data Source  
Installation  
The TWAIN Data Source is included with the scanner. You can install the  
data source from the CD.  
1. Insert the CD into the drive.  
2. Follow the instructions on each screen as prompted.  
After installation is complete, install your application software on the  
host PC.  
After your application software is loaded and launched, use the TWAIN  
Data Source software to setup your scanner.  
A sample TWAIN Data Source application, called the Scan Validation  
Tool, is also installed during this installation. This application can be  
used to validate scanner functionality. The screen captures in this  
chapter (from the Scan Validation Tool) document the TWAIN Data  
Source graphical user interface (GUI) which can be one option when  
creating your own application. If you choose to use programmatic  
controls, refer to the Integrator's Guide readme.htm file located in the  
Integrator directory on the CD provided with the scanner. The guide is  
also available on the website (www.Kodak.com/go/DI). The file const.ini,  
a shortcut to it is located in your default Windows directory\twain_32\  
kodak\kds_i100, includes information you need to setup the TWAIN  
Data Source to simulate an i100 Series Scanner in order for you to begin  
development work without a physical scanner. This is also documented  
in the material linked from the Integrator's Guide readme.htm.

Scanning bi-tonal images  
The descriptions below are for scanning bi-tonal images only.  
Binarization these settings effect the bi-tonal image. Two of the  
options are iThresholding and Adaptive Thresholding. These options  
are applied to grayscale scanned images and outputs a bi-tonal  
electronic image. Their strength lies in the ability to separate the  
foreground information from the background information even when the  
background color or shading varies, and the foreground information  
varies in color quality and darkness. Different types of documents may  
be scanned using the same image processing parameters and results in  
excellent scanned images.  
Available binarization options are:  
•
iThresholding: selecting iThresholding allows the scanner to  
dynamically evaluate each document to determine the optimal  
threshold value to produce the highest quality image. This allows  
scanning of mixed document sets with varying quality (i.e., faint text,  
shaded backgrounds, color backgrounds) to be scanned using a  
single setting thus reducing the need for document sorting.  
When using iThresholding, only Contrast may be adjusted.  
•
Adaptive Thresholding (ATP): the Adaptive Threshold Processor  
separates the foreground information in an image (i.e., text,  
graphics, lines, etc.) from the background information (i.e., white or  
non-white paper background).  
When using Adaptive Thresholding, Threshold and Contrast may be  
adjusted.

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.  
64-Level Bayer Dither, 64-Level 45 Degree Clustered Dot Screen  
and 64-Level Dispersed Dot Screen  
represent alternative  
screening options to emulate gray.

Noise Filter  
occasionally small dots or specks appear in the  
background of a scanned image. These specks increase file  
compression size and usually contain no image information. Using the  
Noise Filter on documents containing very fine detail (e.g., the dot on an  
"i" in 4-point type) may cause information to be lost. It is recommended  
that you do not use Noise Filter when scanning documents with text  
smaller than 7-point type.  
Noise Filter can be used with bi-tonal images only and is front/rear  
independent. Choose (none), Lone Pixel or Majority Rule.  
•
Lone Pixel reduces random noise on bi-tonal images by converting  
a single black pixel surrounded by white to white or by converting a  
single white pixel surrounded by black to black.  
•
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.  
•
Halftone Removal is 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.

Contrast %  
sets the image contrast by adjusting the difference  
between black and white, thereby making an image sharper or softer.  
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. Select a contrast value  
from 1 to 100. The default is 50.  
Contrast 1  
Contrast 60  
Contrast 100  
Adjust the contrast setting by dragging the Contrast sliding bar to the left  
or right to achieve the desired contrast setting, or you can enter a value  
(1 to 100) in the Contrast text box. Scan the document to check the  
contrast.  
Threshold  
used to convert a grayscale image to a bi-tonal (1  
bit/pixel) image. The thresholding value ranges 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.  
Adjust the threshold setting by dragging the Threshold sliding bar to the  
left or right to achieve the desired threshold setting, or you can enter a  
value (0 to 255) in the Threshold text box. Scan the document to check  
the threshold.

Cropping values  
Cropping allows you to capture a portion of the document being  
scanned. You can define the cropping area by the x and y offset values,  
width and length. Cropping options can be used independently with  
color/grayscale and bi-tonal images and are also front/rear independent.  
Only one cropping option can be assigned per image.  
Cropping  
select one of the following options:  
•
Automatic: dynamically adjusts the cropping window for different  
document sizes based upon the edges of the image. Use this option  
for batches of mixed-sized documents.  
•
Aggressive: selecting this option will eliminate any residual black  
border on any image edges. When using Aggressive cropping, there  
is a possibility that a small amount of image data from the edge of  
the document may be lost.  
•
•
Fixed to Transport: (used for batches of same-sized documents)  
allows you to define the area or zone to be imaged. If you select this  
option, enter the x and y offset values, width and length. You can  
enter the desired values in the fields or use the arrow keys to define  
the desired area. The Display window will show image placement  
as you change the values.  
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.  
For example, some applications have a requirement to store part of  
an image in color and the rest of the image in bi-tonal format (this  
saves storage space by not storing the entire image in color).  
This option may be used in conjunction with auto cropping where a  
separate color/grayscale or bi-tonal area to be saved is desired. It is  
useful in applications where a photograph, signature, embossment  
or seal appears in a consistent area for an application (you may  
want that small area in color/grayscale and the rest in bi-tonal).

option is not available when you have Fixed to Transport cropping  
selected. Automatic Deskew is always enabled when using Aggressive  
or Relative to Document cropping.  
NOTE: To prevent data loss, the document must have all four corners  
within the image path.  
X-Offset  
for Fixed to Transport cropping this is the distance from the  
left end of the scanner to the left edge of the scanning area. For Relative  
to Document cropping this is the distance from the left edge of the  
document to the left edge of the zone. This option is not available if you  
use Automatic or Aggressive cropping.  
Y-Offset — for Fixed to Transport and Relative to Document cropping  
this is the position from the top end of the document to the top end of the  
scanning area. This option is not available if you use Automatic or  
Aggressive cropping.  
Width — the width of the scanning area. This option is not available if  
you use Automatic or Aggressive cropping.  
Length — the length of the scanning area. If Overscan is not selected,  
the scanner will not continue capturing beyond the trail edge of the  
document. For example, if you setup the scanner for 8 ½” x 11”  
portrait-fed documents, and you scan an 8 ½ x 4” document, the  
scanner will return an 8 ½ x 4” scanned area. This option is not available  
if you use Automatic or Aggressive cropping.  
Center Frame  
when using Fixed to Transport and Relative cropping,  
automatically calculates the x-offset for center-fed feeding based upon  
document size selected. This option is not available if you use  
Automatic or Aggressive cropping.  
Rotate Frame  
when using Fixed to Transport and Relative cropping,  
automatically calculates the offset values based upon feed orientation of  
the document size selected (landscape vs. portrait). This option is not  
available if you use Automatic or Aggressive cropping.

Overscan values  
Overscan allows you to add a specified value (inches/mm) before and  
after the edge of the image. Overscan values can be applied to the top  
and bottom of an image and/or the left and right of an image. Overscan  
is used in applications where automatic feeding of excessively skewed  
documents is likely. Overscan reduces the possibility of corner clipping  
on skewed images. Overscan can only be used with Fixed or Transport  
cropping.  
To set Overscan values, select where you want to apply Overscan  
values: Top/Bottom, Left/Right; All Sides then select the amount of  
inches/mm you want applied. Select a value within the range of 0 to .375  
inches. (none) is the default. Combined Overscan and Length values  
cannot exceed 17.75 inches.

Electronic Color Dropout is used to eliminate a form’s background so  
that a document management system may automatically (through OCR  
and ICR technology) read pertinent data without interference from the  
lines and boxes of the form. The i100 Series 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.

Background  
this value will be substituted in the grayscale  
(pre-thresholded) image for the color being removed. Therefore, this  
value should be higher than the threshold value selected on the Imaging  
tab for this pixel to become the background color. For example, if you  
are scanning a white document with a green form and you have selected  
a bi-tonal threshold value of 127, you should pick an electronic color  
drop-out background value greater than 127 so the substituted pixel will  
be white in the dropped-out image.  
For iThresholding, the scanner will automatically determine the value for  
this. If the value the scanner determined is lower than the one you  
entered, that value will be used. Therefore, if using iThresholding, it is  
suggested that you leave the value at the default.

Multi-feed Detection aids in document processing by detecting  
documents that may go through the feeder overlapped. Multi-feeds can  
occur due to stapled documents, adhesives on documents, or  
electrostatically charged documents. Multi-feed Detection combines  
ultrasonics (amplitude and phase) with physical length detection to  
virtually eliminate the chance of losing data due to multi-feeds.  
The Multifeed tab  
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.  
Length detection is best used when scanning same-size documents.  
The maximum value is 17 inches.

Document Ultrasonic Monitor  
controls how aggressively the  
scanner will work to determine if more than one document is fed into the  
transport. Multi-feeds are triggered by detecting air gaps between  
documents. This allows multi-feed detection to be used with applications  
containing documents with mixed thicknesses. You may set the  
Multi-Feed Detection to high, medium or low sensitivity. If you disable  
Sensitivity, no phase or amplitude checking is used.  
NOTE: Regardless of the setting, Post-It™ notes will be detected as  
multi-fed documents.  
Sensitivity levels:  
•
•
High Sensitivity: the most aggressive setting.  
Medium Sensitivity: this is the default. Use Medium sensitivity if  
your application has varying document thickness or labels attached  
to the document. Depending on the label material, most documents  
with labels should not be detected as a multi-fed document.  
•
Low Sensitivity: this setting is the least aggressive setting and is  
less likely to detect labels, poor quality, thick or wrinkled documents  
as multi-fed documents.  
When determining the appropriate setting for your workflow, you should  
start at the Medium Sensitivity.  
Multifeed Stops Scanning this option can be enabled or disabled. If  
the option is disabled, the scanner will display and log the condition but  
continue to operate. If enabled, the scanner will display, log the  
condition and stop the feeder. When an overlap or multi-feed is detected,  
the scanner stops the feeder, clears the transport of all pages and then  
the document can be refed.

values. Options include: Front Color, Front Binary, Back Color and Back  
Binary. For more information about the Camera selections see the  
section entitled, “Image outputs” in Chapter 1.  
When starting the configuration process, use the steps below as a  
guide:  
1. Check the images you wish to capture (Enable camera settings).  
2. Select the order to transfer the images (Define Transfer Order).  
3. Configure each image by highlighting it (Configure).

Define Transfer Order  
define the transfer order by selecting the  
Color First or Binary First radio button. This determines which image  
is transferred to the host first when using simultaneous output scanning.  
For example, if you are scanning front color and front binary and you  
select Binary First the scanner will return the front binary image, then  
the front color image.  
Configure

Binarization  
the following descriptions are for binary images  
only.  
Two of the options are iThresholding and Adaptive Thresholding. These  
options work on grayscale scanned images and outputs a bi-tonal  
electronic image. Their strength lies in the ability to separate the  
foreground information from the background information even when the  
background color or shading varies, and the foreground information  
varies in color quality and darkness. Different types of documents may  
be scanned using the same image processing parameters and results in  
excellent scanned images.  
Available binarization options are:  
•
iThresholding: selecting iThresholding allows the scanner to  
dynamically evaluate each document to determine the optimal  
threshold value to produce the highest quality image. This allows  
scanning of mixed document sets with varying quality (i.e., faint text,  
shaded backgrounds, color backgrounds) to be scanned using a  
single setting thus reducing the need for document sorting.  
When using iThresholding, only Contrast may be adjusted.  
•
•
Fixed Processing (FP): 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.  
Adaptive Thresholding (ATP): the Adaptive Threshold Processor  
separates the foreground information in an image (i.e., text,  
graphics, lines, etc.) from the background information (i.e., white or  
non-white paper background).  
When using Adaptive Thresholding, Threshold and Contrast may be  
adjusted.  
A-61517 October 2004

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
When Adaptive Thresholding is selected, Contrast values may range  
from 1 to 100. A Contrast value of 100 is considered fully adaptive  
thresholding.  
Fixed thresholding ATP disabled

•
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.  
Color Correction  
the selection of a color table effects how the  
scanner reproduces the color of a scanned document. You can choose  
from the three Kodak default color tables: Pictures, Text and Text with  
Pictures, or if you have created your own custom color tables using the  
Brightness and Contrast Control, these tables will also be available.

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:  
•
Aggressive: selecting this option will eliminate any residual black  
border on any image edges. In order to achieve this, there is a  
possibility that a small amount of image data from the edge of the  
document may be lost  
•
•
Automatic: dynamically adjusts the cropping window for different  
document sizes based on the edges of the image. Use this option  
for batches of mixed-sized documents.  
Fixed to Transport: (used for batches of same-sized documents)  
allows you to define the area or zone to be imaged. Fixed cropping  
is used in conjunction with paper size and page layout and assumes  
you are center-feeding your documents. If you are not using center  
feeding, you must select the Area button to define your scan area.  
See the section entitled “Defining the Scan Area” later in this  
chapter.  
•
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 binary format (a separate  
window for both binary and color/grayscale may be defined).  
Different parameters may be selected for both the front and rear of  
the image.  
For example, some applications have a requirement to store part of  
an image in color and the rest of the image in binary format (this  
saves storage space by not storing the entire image in color).

This option may be used in conjunction with auto cropping where a  
separate color or binary area to be saved is desired. It is very useful  
in applications where a photograph, signature, embossment or seal  
appears in a consistent area for an application (you may want that  
small area in color and the rest in binary).

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.  
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. Select a  
contrast value from 1 to 100. The default is 50.

Noise Filter  
Occasionally small dots or specks appear in the background of a  
scanned image. These specks increase file compression size and  
usually contain no image information. Using the Noise Filter on  
documents containing very fine detail (e.g., the dot on an "i" in 4-point  
type) may cause information to be lost. It is recommended that you do  
not use the Noise Filter when scanning documents with text smaller than  
7-point type.  
Noise Filter can be used with binary images only and is Front/Rear  
independent. Choose None, Lone Pixel or Majority Rule.  
•
Lone Pixel reduces random noise on binary images by converting a  
single black pixel surrounded by white to white or by converting a  
single white pixel surrounded by black to black.  
•
Majority Rule sets the central pixel value in a matrix according to  
the majority of white or black pixels in a matrix.

Color Dropout  
Electronic color dropout is used to eliminate a form’s background so that  
a document management system may automatically (through OCR and  
ICR 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. The i100 Series Scanners can  
drop out red, green or blue. None is the default.  
Electronic color dropout is available only for binary images.  
Background Value  
this value will be substituted in the grayscale  
(pre-thresholded) image for the color being removed. Therefore, this  
value should be higher than the threshold value selected on the Scanner  
Settings dialog box for this pixel to become the background color. The  
default value is 245. For example, if you are scanning a white document  
with a green form and you have selected a binary threshold value of 127,  
you should pick an electronic color dropout background value greater  
than 127 so the substituted pixel will be white in the dropped-out image.  
For iThresholding, the scanner will automatically determine the value for  
this. If the value the scanner determined is lower than the one you  
entered, that value will be used. Therefore, if using iThresholding, it is  
suggested that you leave the value at the default.  
Threshold Value the value that is used to identify the color which will  
be dropped out. This value is applied to the color area. The default value  
is 175.

Setting Multi-feed detection Multi-feed Detection aids in document processing by detecting  
documents that may go through the feeder overlapped. Multi-feeds can  
happen due to stapled documents, adhesives on documents, or  
electrostatically charged documents. Multi-feed Detection combines  
ultrasonics (amplitude and phase) with physical length detection to  
virtually eliminate the chance of losing data due to multi-feeds.  
Length Detection  
this option can be enabled or disabled. The  
default is disabled. If Length Detection is enabled, enter the maximum  
length (in inches). This is the minimum length of the document that can  
be scanned with a multi-feed being detected. Length detection is used  
when scanning same-sized documents to check for overlap. For  
example, if you are scanning 8 ½ x 11” documents in portrait mode, you  
may want to enter a value of 11.25 in the Maximum Length field. The  
maximum value is 17 inches.  
Auto Set  
when enabled, will automatically set the maximum length  
value to .50-inch greater than the length of the currently selected page  
size.  
Stop Scanner on Multi-Feed this option can be enabled or disabled.  
If the option is disabled, the scanner will display and log the condition  
but continue to operate. If enabled, the scanner will display, log the  
condition and stop the feeder. When an overlap or multi-feed is detected,  
the scanner stops the feeder, clears the transport of all pages and then  
the document can be refed.  
Sound Alarm of Multi-Feed enable this option if you want an audible  
sound when a multi-feed is encountered. If this option is enabled, click  
the Sound button to choose the sound you would like your PC to make  
to alert you of a multi-feed.  
To choose a sound:  
1. Click the Sound button to display the Open dialog box.  
2. Choose the desired .wav file.  
3. Click Open on the dialog box and the sound will be saved.

Ultrasonic Detection Sensitivity  
controls how aggressively the  
scanner will work to determine if more than one document is fed into the  
transport. Multi-feeds are triggered by detecting air gaps between  
documents. This allows multi-feed detection to be used with job sets  
containing documents with mixed thicknesses. You may set the  
Multi-Feed Detection to high, medium or low sensitivity. If you disable  
Sensitivity, no phase or amplitude checking is used.  
NOTE: Regardless of the setting, Post-It™ notes will be detected as  
multi-fed documents.  
•
Low Sensitivity: this setting is the least aggressive setting and is  
less likely to detect labels, poor quality or wrinkled documents as  
multi-fed documents.  
•
Medium Sensitivity: this is the default. Use Medium sensitivity if  
your application has varying document thickness or labels attached  
to the document. Depending on the label material, most documents  
with labels should not be detected as a multi-fed document.  
•
High Sensitivity: this is the most aggressive setting. This is a good  
setting to use if all documents are similar in thickness to 20-lb. bond  
paper.  
When determining the appropriate setting for your workflow, you should  
start at Medium sensitivity.  
Units  
defines the primary measurement system. Pixels, Inches and  
Centimeters are available.  
Energy Saving Features of Scanner  
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: 5 to 60 minutes. The default is 15  
minutes.  
Transport Timeout  
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 3 to 30 seconds. The default is 8  
seconds.

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  
drop-down list box.  
NOTE: The Page Size and Page Layout selections also appear on the  
Scanner Settings dialog box. If you make a change on the Scan  
Area dialog box, the same selections will appear on the  
Scanner Settings dialog box and vice versa.  
The Page Layout area allows you to select either Portrait or Landscape.  
•
•
Portrait will display the image orientation in the shape of a  
conventional portrait, where height is greater than width.  
Landscape will display the image orientation in the shape of a  
conventional landscape painting, where width is greater than height.  
Area  
the Area section defines the amount of image data which is  
returned to the host. It can be defined to be the entire document (Fixed  
to Transport cropping) or a portion of the document (Relative To  
Document cropping). The area can be defined in Pixels, Inches or  
Centimeters.  
•
X
for Fixed to Transport cropping this is the distance from the left  
end of the scanner to the left-edge of the scanning area. For  
Relative To Document cropping this is the distance from the left  
edge of the document to the left edge of the zone. This option is not  
available if you use Auto cropping.  
•
Y — for Fixed to Transport and Relative To Document cropping this  
is the position from the top end of the document to the top end of the  
scanning area. This option is not available if you use Auto cropping.  
•
•
Width — the width of the scanning area.  
Height — the height of the scanning area. If Overscan is not  
selected, the scanner will not continue capturing beyond the trail  
edge of the document. For example, if you set up the scanner for  
portrait-fed 8 ½” x 11” documents, and you scan an 8 ½ x 4”  
document, the scanner will return an 8 ½ x 4” scanned area.  
Snap  
causes the dimensions of the Area box to be controlled in fixed  
1/8-inch increments. This option is not available in Pixel mode.
