Calibration sets the intensity of the lamps, which contribute to the
overall quality of the scanned document image.
Calibrating the
scanner
The scanner should be calibrated:
•
at least once a day when the scanner is turned on using the side
panel switch — prior to scanning documents
•
•
•
any time the scanner is turned on using the main power switch
if image quality is poor
after changing lamps
•
after cleaning the scanner or imaging guides
Calibrate the scanner using a calibration target (sheet of paper) that is:
•
•
•
•
Blank
Clean
Matte finish (not glossy)
White or the same color as the background color of the documents
to be scanned. If you are scanning a variety of colored documents,
use a white calibration target.
•
Wider than the documents you are going to scan (i.e., to scan 8.5 x
11 inch (215.9 x 279.4 mm) documents, the calibration target should
be wider than 8.5 inches (215.9 mm). The recommended width for
the calibration target is 12 inches (300 mm).
To calibrate the scanner:
1. Verify the main power and side panel switches are on. A normal
operating status display should appear.
2. Press CAL or enter function code F37 to start the calibration
sequence.
3. Insert the calibration target into the feeder.
When calibration is successful, the status display returns to a normal
operating display.

If calibration is not successful, a message appears in the status display.
You may need to:
Unsuccessful calibration
•
•
•
•
Verify you are using a clean, blank sheet of paper as a calibration
target.
Verify there is not a document already in the document path. (Refer
to the section entitled, “Clearing the document path” in Chapter 7.)
Clean the imaging guides. (Refer to the section entitled “Cleaning
the imaging guides” in Chapter 5.)
Calibrate the scanner again. If calibration fails again, change the
lamps. (Refer to the section entitled, “Replacing the exposure
lamps” in Chapter 5.)
If you have done all of the above and calibration still fails, contact your
service representative.
Before you begin processing documents, make certain that the
documents may be fed through the scanner easily.
Preparing
documents for
scanning
•
Remove any staples, rubber bands, loose mending tape, or paper
clips from the documents to be processed.
•
•
Straighten wrinkled edges and tape any torn documents.
Trim ragged edges.
When using the semi-automatic feeder, make certain all documents are
of similar size, texture, thickness and weight, and the leading edges of
all documents are aligned.

IMPORTANT: Before adjusting the feed and separator roller gap, be
sure the feed and separator rollers are clean. Cleaning
the feed and separator rollers will frequently resolve
document feeding problems.
Adjusting the feed
and separator roller
gap (semi-automatic
feeder only)
The adjustment procedure should only be done when
feeding and separating problems continue after the feed
and separator rollers have been cleaned. For
procedures on cleaning rollers, see Chapter 5,
Maintenance.
The gap adjustment knob on the control panel increases or decreases
the space between the feed and separator rollers. The gap must be
adjusted properly for smooth transportation of documents without
document overlap.
When documents of different thicknesses are fed in a group, adjust the
gap using the thinnest document in the group.
The feed and separator roller gap may have to be adjusted to
compensate for:
•
•
•
Very thin documents (onion skin, tracing paper, etc.).
Very thick documents (card stock, punch cards, cover stock).
Some coated documents (photographic paper, plastic-coated
paper).
If the gap is not adjusted properly:
•
•
•
More than one document at a time may be drawn into the transport
system at the same time; not all of the documents will be scanned.
Documents may be drawn into the transport too quickly; documents
may overlap or be spaced too closely (causing an error display).
Documents may become skewed during transport; jamming may
occur.
NOTE: Prior to performing the adjustment procedure, the scanner
must be calibrated and enabled.
To adjust the feed and separator roller gap:
1. Turn on the side panel switch.
2. Enter function code F04 and enable Counting Only.
3. Press Enter.
4. Press Run.
IMPORTANT: Do not make a gap adjustment while documents are
in the feeder or transport system; doing so will
produce an inaccurate adjustment.
5. Turn the gap adjustment knob clockwise three complete turns, or
until it stops, to open the gap between the feed and separator
rollers.

If the documents separate, repeat the following steps until the
documents do not separate:
•
•
Turn the gap adjustment knob clockwise 1/2 turn.
Insert the documents again.
If the documents do not separate, proceed with Step 9.
9. Rotate the gap adjustment knob counterclockwise 1 or 2 clicks.
10. Hold the trailing edges of the documents firmly. Insert them into the
gap.
•
•
If the bottom document is not separating from the top document,
remove the documents and repeat Steps 9 and 10 until the
bottom document separates from the top document by
approximately 1 in. (25.4 mm).
If the bottom document is separating from the top document,
proceed with Step 11.

11. When you have adjusted the gap so the bottom document
separates consistently from the top document, rotate the gap
adjustment knob counterclockwise another 1 or 2 clicks to complete
the adjustment.
12. Feed a stack of 50 to 100 documents twice through the transport
system. Verify the final count reflects the total number of documents
fed and that the counter shows the same amount each time the
documents are counted.
If the count is not the same, the gap is not adjusted correctly.
Rotate the gap adjustment knob counterclockwise another 1 or 2
clicks and repeat Step 12. Repeat until corrected.
13. Press Stop.
14. Enter function code F04 and disable Counting Only.
15. Press Enter.

Operating the Scanner
Overview
This chapter provides instructions for selecting modes, using temporary
operating values and feeding documents using either the semi-
automatic feeder or the automatic feeder.
The scanning process consists of the following steps:
1. Prepare the scanner for operation (refer to Chapter 2, Getting
Started for more information.)
2. The scanner is enabled by the host system.
3. Select a mode for the application. Typically the host computer
performs this step, but it may also be performed by the operator.
4. Select temporary operating values (if required).
5. Press the Run key.
6. Feed documents into the transport (refer to Feeding Documents
using the semi-automatic (or automatic) feeder later in this chapter).
•
The scanner assigns a sequential ID number (for digital image
storage), the document image level and image address.
•
•
•
The document is scanned.
The document image header is created.
The host computer initiates transfer of the document image
header and document image to the host system for storage on
magnetic or optical disk media.
•
Documents are deposited in the exit hopper, face down, in the
order in which they were fed into the transport.
7. Press the Stop key.
8. Press P2 or enter function code F38 to indicate end-of-job.
9. Turn off the side panel switch.

Selecting a mode
The scanner offers 18 modes that may be programmed for a particular
application or group of applications.
The modes are programmed at the time of installation and stored for
easy access and use.
Typically, the mode is selected via the host system, using a scanner-
unique command. However, you may manually select a mode.
To select a mode, do the following:
1. Enter function code F01 (Select Mode) by pressing the F key and
the numeric keys 0 and 1.
2. Press Enter.
3. Enter the desired mode number (modes range from 1 to 18).
4. Press Enter.
You can also check with your system administrator to see if one or
more of the P keys has been preprogrammed to perform specific
functions.
Temporary operating
values
Each of the 18 modes programmed at the time of installation contain
definitions that affect the output of the scanner. Each mode is
programmed to conform to the output requirements of a particular
application or group of applications.
There may be instances, however, when a particular application
requires some variation of an existing mode. In such instances, mode
definitions may be changed using available function codes. See
Chapter 4, Function Codes, for a listing and descriptions of the
available function codes.
NOTE: Changes to mode definitions remain in effect until another mode
is selected or the side panel switch is turned off. The original
mode definition is only affected by these changes if the mode
overrides are saved (the mode override option may be selected
at installation and if selected, a plus sign (+) appears in the first
line of the status display).
Example:
If mode 15 contains definitions that allow you to use the Kodak
Imagelink Endorser, the starting print position (which defines how far
from the leading edge of the document the endorsement is printed) is
programmed to be 0.5.
If there is a special application that requires the endorsement be printed
1 inch from the leading edge of the document, you may use function
code F59 to temporarily change the starting print position.

3. Using a clean Paper Path Cleaner sheet, repeat Step 1 to verify that
the rollers are clean.
4. Turn the gum side down, and repeat Steps 1 through 3.
NOTE: When the gum side is down, it may be necessary to hold
down the gap release lever to allow the Paper Path Cleaner
sheet to feed past the separator roller.
Regular use of Paper Path Cleaner sheets may result in fewer major
cleanings with the roller cleaning pads.
NOTE: If there are feeder errors after cleaning the feed and separator
rollers, refer to the section entitled “Adjusting the feed and
separator roller gap”, in Chapter 2.
Vacuuming inside the
scanner
The sensors located under the horizontal plate in the feeder/horizontal
transport area and in the upper section of the lower roller housing
assembly, the exposure lamp housings, and the air filter should be
vacuumed or wiped down thoroughly with a clean, dry, soft, lint-free
cloth at least once a week.
Refer to the instructions and illustrations provided in the Chapter 7,
Troubleshooting, to assist in accessing the sensor locations.

Replacing the exposure
lamps
The exposure system consists of four long-life fluorescent lamps.
There are two lamp housings; one upper and one lower. Each lamp
housing contains two lamps.
Change the lamps at least every 500 hours, when image quality
appears to be degrading (and standard maintenance procedures do not
improve the image quality), or when requested to do so by an operator
message. Always replace both lamps in a housing at the same time, or
exposures may appear inconsistent. Always use the recommended
lamps, or image quality may be unacceptable.
1. Turn the side panel switch off.
2. Open the right side access door.
3. Remove the imaging guides. (Refer to the section entitled,
“Replacing the imaging guides”.)
4. Grasp the tab at the end of the upper lamp housing and slide the
housing out of the track.

Insert one end of the lamp into the socket at the tab end of the
lamp housing. Insert the opposite end of the lamp into the other
socket.
WARNING: The exposure lamps are fragile. Never apply
pressure to the center of the lamp; press down
only on the ends of the lamp.
•
Gently push down on each end of the lamp. Do not force the
lamp into place. The lamp should fit securely into the housing
and click into place.
NOTE: Improperly installed lamps (i.e., not securely seated in
the lamp housing) will result in repeated low lamp
warnings.

Using the Bar Code Reader
The Bar Code Reader provides a hands-off method of data entry,
eliminating the need to manually enter data found on document(s). Bar
code image(s) are read, decoded, and converted to a data string of ASCII
characters. The ASCII data string is placed in the image header which is
sent to the host computer when scanning, or merged with the document
image address and transmitted as a data record to a host computer for
storage in a data library when filming.
During installation, modes are defined for use with specific applications.
The Bar Code Reader may be enabled or disabled for each mode. In
addition, the bar code type, number of bar codes-per-document,
minimum bar code length (characters), and the distance between multiple
bar codes are defined for each mode. Some of the features of the Bar
Code Reader are:
•
•
•
Image processing (for dot matrix bar codes)
Scan directory (uni- or bi-directional reading)
Partial read (number of partial read characters)
This User’s Guide:

During installation, the type of bar code used is defined for each
mode. The Bar Code Reader is capable of reading and decoding
three different types of bar codes.
Bar code types
•
Code 3 of 9 — also known as Code 39, is a widely used code in
which 9 bars or spaces comprise the characters, 3 of which are wide.
•
Interleaved 2 of 5 — or I 2 of 5, is a compact, interleaved code for
numeric characters only. Each digit is represented by 5 bars or
spaces, 2 of which are wide.
•
Codabar — similar to Code 3 or 9, but not as widely used. Codabar
includes only numeric and special characters.

(fed into transport first)
Trailing edge
In addition, the following must be true:
•
•
•
The bar code must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) from the leading
edge of the document.
The bar code must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) from the trailing edge
of the document.
There must be at least 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) of blank space preceding the
start character and following the stop character.
•
•
The bar code may not exceed 11 in. (275 mm) in length.
The bar code height must be at least 0.40 in. (9.5 mm) or 25% of the
bar code length, whichever is greater.
More detailed specifications are provided in Kodak publication, Bar Code
Made Easy (A-61099).
Before feeding documents containing bar codes, verify the following:
Before you begin
•
•
•
Bar code reading is enabled in the current mode.
The bar code confirmation tone is enabled (if desired).
A bar code test has been performed and the read rate/accuracy is
satisfactory.
Once each of these items has been verified, you may begin feeding
documents.

Make sure that Bar Code Reading is enabled before feeding
documents.
Enabling bar
code reading
To enable Bar Code Reading at the mode level:
•
Enter function code F60.
Partial Bar Code Reading allows the scanner to read bar codes with a
start character (and n characters beyond the start character that can be
read) even if no end character is encountered.
To enable Partial Bar Code Reading:
•
Enter function code F66.
NOTE: Partial Bar Code Reading can only be enabled (or disabled) if
Bar Code Reading is enabled at the mode level.
If you have enabled the Bar Code Reader, but do not want to
read/decode bar code(s) found on the next document only, perform
function code F64.
The bar code confirmation tone may be used to signal that a bar code
has been read.
Enabling the bar
code confirma-
tion tone
•
•
If your scanner is configured for no confirmation tones, then no
confirmation tones of any kind will be heard in any mode.
If your scanner is configured to allow confirmation tones, then you
can disable (or enable) confirmation tones in any mode as desired.
If the confirmation tones and the bar code confirmation tone are
enabled during installation for the mode being used, you may
enable/disable the bar code confirmation tone during normal
operations by performing function code F63.
In addition, a bar code/patch confirmation tone may be used to signal
that both a bar code and a patch have been detected. This
confirmation tone may be enabled or disabled by performing function
code F62.
NOTE: Patch Code Reading must be enabled in the scanner in order
to use this feature.

Before feeding documents, perform a bar code test (F65) to verify the
operation of the Bar Code Reader.
Performing a bar
code test
NOTES:
•
No document processing, image address changes or level counting,
etc. will occur during the test.
•
Verification of the read rate/accuracy is typically performed by
selecting option 4=%NORM.
To perform a bar code test:
1. Enter function code F65.
2. Select one of the following test options.
Bar Code Type =
1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM
•
1=EVALUATE — provides a measure of the overall quality of the
bar codes being used by evaluating specific bar code
characteristics. This test is performed whenever a new batch of
preprinted bar code documents or labels are received, or when
there is a change in the printing method (i.e., a new printer),
media (i.e., new paper type) or bar code characteristics (i.e., new
bar code size).
•
•
2=DISPLAY — displays the decoded value of an individual bar
code as it is fed into the transport. This test is performed
whenever there is a need to verify that a bar code is decoded
properly. The bar code is read and decoded. No capturing of
images or any other system function is performed when this test is
run.
3=%KODAK — provides a measure of equipment performance by
determining the read rate (percentage of bar codes read properly)
of Kodak Bar Code Standard Test Documents. Two percentages
are calculated each time the test is run; a current percentage and
a historical percentage. The historical percentage reflects all tests
run, providing information which may be used to track system
performance over time.
•
4=%NORM — provides a measure of the quality of the bar codes
used, by determining the read rate (percentage of bar codes read
properly) of actual customer-application documents. Two
percentages are calculated each time the test is run; a current
percentage and a historical percentage. The historical percentage
reflects all tests run, providing information which may be used to
track system performance over time.

Function code F65 options may also be used if there is a decline in bar
code readability (read rate) during normal document processing. If this
occurs, the following steps will assist you in diagnosing the problem:
1. Perform test option 3=%KODAK.
This test determines whether or not the reduction in readability is
caused by a deficiency in the equipment.
•
If the resulting read rate is significantly lower than the benchmark
given, contact your service representative.
•
If the resulting read rate is equal to or greater than the benchmark
given, proceed to Step 2.
2. Perform test option 4=% NORM.
This test determines whether or not the reduction in readability is
caused by a deficiency in the bar codes being used.
•
If the resulting read rate is below an acceptable level, proceed to
Step 3.
3. Perform test option 1=EVALUATE.
This test evaluates the bar codes being used in terms of dimensional
and print clarity. Deficiencies in any one or more of these criteria
could result in a reduction in the overall read rate.

Use the Evaluate option when you want to measure the quality of the bar
codes being used by evaluating specific bar code characteristics.
Using the
Evaluate option
The Evaluate option allows you to perform a Static Bar Code Evaluation
test or a Dynamic Bar Code Evaluation test.
•
Static Bar Code Evaluation — is performed if you want to just verify
how well the Bar Code Reader is working. This test is performed with
the transport off.
•
Dynamic Bar Code Evaluation — is performed if you want to verify
how well the Bar Code Reader is working and the speed of the Bar
Code Reader. This test is performed with the transport on. Unlike the
Static Bar Code Evaluation, the results of this test can be influenced
by the motion of the document. If less than satisfactory results are
obtained, perform the evaluation again using the Static Bar Code
Evaluation.
To use the Evaluate option:
1. Select 1=EVALUATE.
Bar Code Type =
1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM
2. Select either 1=Transport Off or 2=Transport On.

RMIN= %
Grade — indicates the overall grade of the bar code evaluation. This
grade is based upon the field values that appear in the remainder of the
display. The fields which appear in the remainder of the display are either
dimensional or reflectance fields.
Each of the reflectance field values are converted to a letter grade (where
A is the highest and F is the lowest). The lowest letter grade assigned to
any one of the reflectance fields is the overall grade assigned to the bar
code.
Dimensional Fields (Pass or Fail)
W/N — the average ratio of wide element widths to narrow element
widths within a bar code. The ratio is calculated for both bars and spaces;
the smallest of the two ratios is displayed.
New — the measure of the smallest Narrow-Element Width.

Reflectance Fields (Grades A through F)
Contrast — a comparison of the darkest element and the lightest
element of the bar code.
MOD — Modulation. A measure of the consistency of the overall bar code
print clarity (all elements), specifically the occurrence of spots (in spaces)
and voids (in bars).
DEF — Defect ratio. A measure of the consistency of the individual
element print clarity, specifically the occurrence of spots (in spaces) and
voids (in bars).

The Display option allows you to display the decoded value of an
individual bar code as it is fed into the transport. After selecting Option
2, DISPLAY, feed a bar code document.
Using the
Display option
To verify that a bar code is decoded properly:
1. Select 2=DISPLAY.
Bar Code Type =
1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM
One of the following messages will be displayed:
•
Bar code was not read.
If the display indicates the bar code was not read, it could be for
one of the following reasons:
◊ The type of bar code read was not the type indicated in the
status display.
Action: Verify the type of bar code read.
◊ The bar code quality is poor.
Action: Perform the required maintenance.
•
•
?
This display indicates the start character was recognized, but the
remainder of the bar code was unreadable.
Action: Perform the required maintenance.
Decoded bar code value
This display gives the decoded value of the bar code read.
2. When the test is completed, press C to return to normal operation, or
press Stop to remain in the test environment.
The %KODAK test option establishes the percentage of bar codes
properly read when using Kodak Bar Code Standard Test Documents.
This option is designed to provide a baseline value as well as the
current read rate. A comparison of the two values provides a measure
of machine performance over time.
Using the %KODAK
option
To use the %KODAK test option:
1. Select 3=%KODAK.
Bar Code Type =
1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM
2. Feed at least 100 Kodak test documents. As documents are fed into
the transport, the Kodak documents fed value will increment.
Kodak documents fed = 100
Current = xx.x%
Historical = xx.x%

The transport automatically stops when 100 documents have been
processed and the Current and Historical percentages are displayed.
NOTE: To stop the test and leave the percentages unchanged, press
Stop before the 100 documents have been processed.
Current — indicates the read rate of the documents just processed.
Historical — indicates the read rate of all tests run over time.
The first time the test is run, the two percentages will be the same.
If the Current percentage is significantly lower than the Historical
percentage, this indicates any reduction in the overall read rate may
be caused by a deficiency in the equipment. Perform required
maintenance and rerun the test. If the results of the second test are
similar to the first, contact service.
NOTE: If an asterisk (*) appears in the display (i.e., Current =
xx.x*%), the Historical percentage is unaffected by the
current read rate. This indicates the current read rate is
uncommonly low.
3. When the test is finished, press Clear to return to normal operation,
or press Stop to remain in the test environment.
This option establishes the percentage of bar codes properly read when
using actual customer-application documents. This test is the same as
the %KODAK option, except actual customer-application documents
are used. The option is designed to provide a baseline value as well as
the current read rate. A comparison of the two values provides a
measure of bar code quality over a period of time.
Using the %NORM
option
To use the %NORM test option:
1. Select 4=%NORM.
Bar Code Type =
1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM
2. Feed at least 100 application test documents. As documents are fed
into the transport, the Normal documents fed value will increment.
Normal documents fed = 100
Current = xx.x%
Historical = xx.x%
The transport automatically stops when 100 documents have been
processed and the Current and Historical percentages are displayed.
NOTE: To stop the test and leave the percentages unchanged, press

Using the Patch Reader
The Patch Reader controls document level changes by automatically
sensing a predefined patch code and changing the document level
accordingly.
During installation, modes are defined for use with specific applications.
Patch reading may be enabled or disabled for each mode.
During installation, the patch type(s) used are defined for each mode.
The Patch Reader is capable of reading three types of patches.
Patch types
Patch III — assigns a Level 3 to the current document.
Patch II — assigns a Level 2 to the current document.
Patch T/Transfer Patch — assigns a predetermined level to the next
document.
The Transfer Patch Definition is also defined at installation. The Transfer
Patch Definition controls the level assigned to the next document when a
Transfer Patch is used. For example, if the Transfer Patch Definition for
the current mode is defined as Level 3 and a Transfer Patch is used, the
next document will be assigned Level 3.

Patches may also be placed perpendicular to the leading edge of the
document (in which case, they are called end-fed patches):
Leading Edge
(fed into the transport first)
NOTE: End-fed patch reading is only available with a Document
Scanning Array. End fed patches are scanned from right to left.
Therefore, the patch must be oriented so the leading edge of
the patch is toward the right edge of the document as fed. If the
patch is not oriented properly, it may be misread, or not read at
all.
Detailed specifications for creating patch codes are provided in Patch
Code Information for Kodak Imagelink Products (A-61599).

Appendix A Basic Concepts
This appendix provides the basic concepts associated with scanning
documents.
The scanner offers 18 modes that can be defined for a particular
application or group of applications.
Modes
When you select a mode for use with a particular application, you are
selecting the format/appearance of the output. Each mode is
comprised of definitions that affect the output of the scanner. Required
mode definitions include index format, level to follow level rules, etc.
Optional mode definitions include a variety of accessory options, such
as turning the Endorser on or off, etc. Mode definitions are established
during installation.
Many optional mode definitions established during installation can be
overridden using function codes. The overrides are temporary, unless
during installation, it is specified that the mode overrides be saved.
After executing a function that overrides a prior definition, a plus sign
(+) appears in the first line of the status display if the mode overrides
are saved.
Mode linking eliminates the need to re-enter the image address when
changing from one mode to another. When two modes are linked, you
can change from one mode to another while maintaining the image
address.
Linked modes
Modes are linked by defining the same index format and image address
fields (both number of fields and individual field lengths) during
installation.
NOTE: The level rule options defined during installation do not need to
be the same to link modes.
Use function code F91 to change from one mode to another, while
maintaining the image address.
The following example illustrates the use of linked modes.
•
Assume that in Mode 10:
− The index format is three-level.
− The image address Level 3 field length is 3 characters; the
image address Level 2 field length is 2 characters; the image
address Level 1 field length is 4 characters.
− The level rules are: Level 1 followed by Level 1; Level 2 followed
by Level 1; and Level 3 followed by Level 3.

•
Assume that in Mode 12:
− The index format is three-level.
− The image address Level 3 field length is 2 characters; the
image address Level 2 field length is 2 characters; the image
address Level 1 field length is 5 characters.
− The level rules are: Level 1 followed by Level 2; Level 2 followed
by Level 2; and Level 3 followed by Level 2.
Assume that in Mode 14:
− The index format is three-level.
− The image address Level 3 field length is 2 characters; the
image address Level 2 field length is 2 characters; the image
address Level 1 field length is 5 characters.
− The level rules are: Level 1 followed by Level 1; Level 2 followed
by Level 1; and Level 3 followed by Level 2.
Mode 10 and Mode 12 may not be linked; the image address field
lengths are not the same.
Mode 10 and Mode 14 may not be linked; the image address field
lengths are not the same.
Mode 12 and Mode 14 may be linked; the index format is three-level;
and the image address has three fields, each with the same length.
NOTE: If you are currently in Mode 12 and want to change to Mode 14,
note the affect of different level rules on the image address.
Assume that the image address of the last document fed into
the transport is 01.05.01234. The next image address displayed
while still in Mode 12 is 01.06.00000. However, if you change to
Mode 14, using function code F91, the next image address
displayed in Mode 14 is 01.05.01234.
An image address is assigned to every document scanned. An image
address is composed of four fields, each representing a different
document level. An image address has a maximum length of 15
characters; 12 alphanumerics (field A, field B, and field C must be
numeric; the fixed field may contain alphanumerics) and 3 delimiters
(inserted between fields).
Image addresses
The image address (number of fields and characters) is based on the
indexing scheme chosen (refer to the section entitled “Indexing
schemes” later in this appendix).

For each mode, regardless of the indexing scheme used, the following
four fields must be defined during installation:
•
•
•
•
Field A. A numeric field representing document Level 1. Its value is
incremented whenever a document is assigned Level 1.
Field B. A numeric field representing document Level 2. Its value is
incremented whenever a document is assigned Level 2.
Field C. A numeric field representing document Level 3. Its value is
incremented whenever a document is assigned Level 3.
Fixed field. An alphanumeric field containing fixed information;
typically, the date.
An example of an image address is:
1201.01.020.005
where:
•
•
•
•
Field A (Level 1) contains 005
Field B (Level 2) contains 020
Field C (Level 3) contains 01
Fixed field contains 1201
An image address may be assigned or changed by pressing the Next
key or by entering function code F97. The Next key (or function code
F97) is used when setting/changing any or all of the image address
fields. Function code F92 is used when setting/changing only the fixed
field of the image address.
Assigning an image
address
Using the Next key
Press Next (or enter function code F97) to set or change an image
address function code.
The next image address is displayed. A cursor appears over the first
character of the next image address. Enter the desired image address
or use the left (←) and right (→) arrow keys to position the entry cursor
over the character to be set/changed and enter the desired value. The
plus key (+) may also be used to move the entry cursor to the first
character in the next image address field, without changing the current
image address field.
The numeric keys (0 - 9) and the decimal key have dedicated keys on
the keyboard and can be entered directly.
For example, perform the following steps to change the image address
from 1201.01.020.005 to 1201.02.000.000.
•
Press Next or enter function code F97. The cursor will appear over
the first fixed field character (1201.01.020.005).
•
Press + (plus key) to leave the image address field (1201)
unchanged.
•
•
Enter .02.000.000.
Press Enter to exit, saving the changes to the image address and
return to a normal operating display.

Using Function Code F92
Function code F92 allows you to set or change the image address fixed
field.
The number of characters in the image address fixed field is defined
during installation for each mode. Using F92, you will not be allowed to
enter more than the predefined number of characters.
The fixed field of the image address will be displayed. An entry cursor
will appear over the first character of the fixed field.
To enter numeric characters, input the desired value using the numeric
keys (0 to 9) on the keyboard and press Enter to input the value.
To enter alpha characters, enter the alpha entry mode by pressing
either the Up or Down arrow key. A portion of the alpha character set
will be displayed with a flashing cursor appearing over one of the
characters. If the desired alpha character does not appear in the
display, press either the Up or Down arrow key to display another
portion of the alphabet.
The alpha character set is composed of: uppercase English characters
(A-Z), a space ( ), seven special characters ($ * - : < > +), “a” dieresis
(ä), beta (ß), “n” tilde (ñ), “o” dieresis (ö), and “u” dieresis (ü).
NOTE: The plus sign cannot be input as the first character in the fixed
field.
Once the desired alpha character appears in the display, it may be
selected for input into the fixed field. To input the desired alpha
character, use the Left or Right arrow key to move the flashing cursor
over the desired alpha character. Press Enter to place the alpha
character into the fixed field.
Repeat the above process to enter each fixed field character.
For example, perform the following steps to change from 1201 to
DEC5:
1. Enter function code F92. The entry cursor appears over the first
fixed field character (1201).
2. Press the Up or Down arrow key to enter alpha entry mode.
3. If the letter D is not displayed, press the Up or Down arrow key until
it is displayed.
4. Use the Left or Right arrow key to position the flashing cursor over
the letter D.
5. Press Enter to place the letter D in the first fixed field character
position. Only the letter D appears in the display, with the entry
cursor appearing in the next character position.
6. Press the Up or Down arrow key to enter alpha entry mode.
7. If the letter E is not displayed, press the up or down arrow key until
it is displayed.

11. If the letter C is not displayed, press the Up or Down arrow key until
it is displayed.
12. Use the Left or Right arrow key to position the flashing cursor over
the letter C.
13. Press Enter to place the letter C in the third fixed field character
position. The letters DEC appear in the display, with the entry
cursor appearing in the next character position.
14. Press 5 to place the number 5 in the fourth fixed field character
position.
15. Press Enter to exit function code F92 and save the changes to the
image address.
The image address may be displayed in the status display, and printed
on the original documents as they are transported through the system.
Image address
formats
The format in which the image address appears when displayed,
written, or printed is defined during installation for each mode.
The written/printed image address may appear in one of three formats:
•

Suppress leading zeros format (e.g., 004.3.2.1)
Compress leading zeros format (e.g., 004.3.2.1)
NOTE: The format chosen does not affect the fixed field of the image
address; it is always displayed and printed in its entirety.
Documents are scanned to record the information contained on them in
an easily accessible form.

The previous Indexing Scheme examples, have illustrated how
document levels change within a single group of documents. There are
four document image levels: 3, 2, 1, and 0.
Controlling document
level changes
There are a number of ways in which you can set or change the
document level:
•
You may press a document level key on the control panel to assign
a document Level 3, 2, or 1.
•
•
You may use function code F07 to assign a document Level 0.
You may use the optional Kodak Digital Science Footswitch
accessory; pressing, pressing and holding, or releasing the
Footswitch can change document levels.
•
You may use the optional Kodak Digital Science Patch Reader
accessory; feeding a document containing a particular type of patch
can change document levels.
If you do not set or change the document level using one of the
methods listed, the document level will be set automatically based upon
the level rules (i.e., Level 2 is followed by Level 1, etc.) defined during
installation for each mode.
The following diagram illustrates how document levels are set or
changed:
