Optional accessories
• Kodak i200 Series Imprinter—prints a date, time, fixed string, and/or
sequential number on document backs. For information about this
accessory, refer to Appendix C, Kodak i200 Series Imprinter.
• Kodak i200 Series Dockable Flatbed—the A3 flatbed adds scanning
capability for exception documents. For information about this accessory,
refer to Appendix D, Kodak i200 Series Dockable Flatbed.
NOTE: For information about ordering the above accessories, refer to
Appendix B, Supplies and Accessories.
• Additional memory (SODIMM)—purchase a memory card at a computer
supply retailer near you. For information about installing a memory card,
refer to Appendix E, Installing Optional Memory.
Preparing documents
for scanning
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so that
the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under the
automatic document feeder. This allows the feeder to introduce documents
into the scanner one at a time. Documents must be positioned face down
for scanning.
• Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner. Remove all
staples and paper clips before scanning.
• Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully through
the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every possible type of
damaged paper. If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document
can be transported through the scanner, place the document in a clear
protective sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded
edge first, while lifting the gap release lever.
NOTES: You also can use the optional Kodak i200 Series Dockable Flatbed to
scan damaged documents.
In addition, the automatic document feeder on the i280 Scanner
can scan irregularly shaped documents (e.g., pages with coupons
removed or documents with large holes or cutouts in them) when
you use Special Document mode. For more information, refer to the
section “Additional Features.”
• When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the input tray guides
must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.
NOTE: Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that
represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most
common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is
achieved when scanning documents within the recommended
document specifications. Scanning documents that are outside of
these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of
scanner reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.

Using the Scanner
Starting and stopping
scanning
Scanning is controlled by software developed for your application. To start and
stop scanning, refer to the documentation provided with your software.
Automatic feeding
To scan a batch of documents, follow the guidelines for size, type, quantity,
etc., in the Introduction section. For faster throughput, feed documents into the
automatic document feeder (ADF) in landscape orientation (longer side as the
leading edge).
IMPORTANT: Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner.
Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.
1. Align the leading edges of the stacked documents.
2. Position the leading edge of the documents face down and centered
in the ADF.
3. Adjust the document feeder guides.
4. Adjust the output tray position, if necessary.
5. Pull out the output tray extender, if necessary.
6. Start scanning.
Continuous feeding
Continuous feeding allows you to place additional batches of documents in the
feeder for “infinite” feeding (with operator assistance).
• When only a few documents from one batch remain in the feeder, place the
next batch face down on top of those documents.

Manual feeding
Follow the guidelines for document size, type, weight, quantity, etc., in the
Introduction section. Position the leading edge of the document face down
and centered in the ADF, then start scanning.
Damaged documents
You can scan torn or fragile documents through the automatic document
feeder if they are placed in a protective plastic sleeve.
NOTE: The i280 Scanner has a feature (Special Document mode) that allows
irregularly shaped documents or documents with holes to be scanned
through the ADF. Refer to the following section, “Additional Features”
for more information.
1. Place the damaged document into a protective sleeve.
2. Position the sleeve face down, folded edge first, and centered in the ADF.
Gap release lever
3. Lift the gap release lever, if necessary (this provides more clearance to
ease document feeding).
4. Start scanning.

Additional features
Following are additional scanning capabilities that allow you to scan more
document types faster and with better results. With the exception of Perfect
Page with iThresholding, these features are for the i280 Scanner only:
• Long Paper mode
• Special Document mode
• Perfect Page with iThresholding - for all i200 Series Scanners
• Toggle patch
Long Paper mode
Long Paper mode allows you to scan documents that exceed the 34-inch
maximum length that the scanner normally handles. You can scan documents
that are up to 609 cm (20 feet) long at resolutions of up to 300 dpi with Long
Paper mode. These document types include document rolls (e.g., EKG charts,
chart recorder rolls, and other roll-type documents).
The scanned document is delivered in multiple images. You can specify the
length and width of the images in the fixed cropping option in your scanning
application. The recommended segment size is 10 to 12 inches.
Special Document mode
Special Document mode allows you to scan irregularly shaped documents
(e.g., pages with coupons removed or documents with large holes or cutouts
in them) that would normally produce unexpected results such as truncated
images or jams.
Using Special Document mode will reduce scanner throughput (e.g., for A4 or
letter-sized documents scanned in portrait orientation at 200 dpi, throughput
may reduced by as much as 25%).
NOTES: Documents with a cutout on the side and bottom
(e.g., as shown at right) may stop in the scanner
during scanning even when you are using
Special Document mode because the scanner
will sense the end of the document at the short
cutout edge.
You can scan this type of document by placing it
under a tire on the feed module or in a plastic
sleeve.
For a document that is especially ragged or
tattered, place it in a plastic sleeve for scanning.

Perfect Page with
iThresholding
Perfect Page with iThresholding is essential when you are scanning
mixed batches of documents of varied contrast in background and/or text.
Brightness is automatically adjusted for each individual document for
highlighting, low contrast, and lightweight paper — situations that previously
required manual adjustments.
Using the iThresholding feature, the scanner dynamically evaluates each
document in the batch to determine the optimal threshold value to produce the
highest quality image.
The iThresholding feature delivers high-quality images from a large range of
both poor- and high-contrast documents and reduces the need to pre-sort,
rescan, and perform post-image processing. You get better image and text
legibility, smoother lines, minimal to no artifacts, and fewer shaded areas with
minimal or no user intervention.
Toggle patch
The Toggle patch triggers the scanner to switch from the current scanning
mode to the alternative mode (i.e., bi-tonal to color or color to bi-tonal).
When you scan using a Toggle patch (shown at right),
color on-the-fly processing is enabled. With color on-the-
fly, scanning automatically switches between scanning
modes whenever a Toggle patch is read by the scanner.
NOTES: The Toggle patch document is available as a
.pdf file on the Installation CD. Print the Toggle
patch document on a good-quality printer.
Do not scan a duplex Toggle patch document
(where the Toggle patch printed on both sides)
in duplex mode.

Color image quality
Color image quality is highly subjective. Here are some things to consider
when scanning in color:
• The difference in the color outputs of scanners, printers, and monitors can
affect the perception of the scanned document.
• Computer displays and printer output can vary from model to model, and
from manufacturer to manufacturer. An image may be acceptable on one
display 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).
To ensure that your scanner is delivering the best image:
• Clean the scanner. Contamination within the scanner degrades image
quality. (Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning information.)
• Calibrate the scanner occasionally and make sure that the calibration target
is clean and unwrinkled.

Problem
Possible Solution
Image quality is poor or
has decreased
Make sure that:
• the scanner is clean. Refer to the Maintenance section.
• the scanner is calibrated. Refer to the Maintenance section.
The lamps shut off too soon
The lamps in the i200 Series Scanners will turn off after 5 minutes of no scanner
activity. If the lamps are off, but the scanner has not yet gone into the Energy Star
mode (default 15 minutes), there will be a delay of about 5 seconds for the lamps
to warm up again.
The default setting for the Energy Star is 15 minutes, and if not changed to
another value between 16 and 60 minutes, the lamps will turn off after
5 minutes of no scanner activity, followed 10 minutes later by the fan turning
off (15 minutes total).
If you set the Energy Star timeout to a new value greater than 15 minutes, you
must scan at least one document for that setting to be enabled. After this setting
has been enabled, it will be enforced until a new setting is selected or the
scanner is powered off and back on.
Documents are skewed
during scanning
Make sure that:
• the document side guides are adjusted to fit the documents being fed.
• documents are being fed perpendicular to the feed module.
• documents are being fed in the center of the ADF.
• all staples and paper clips have been removed from the documents.
• the feed module, separator module, and drive rollers are clean.
Scanner pauses excessively
during scanning
Make sure that:
• the host computer meets minimum requirements for scanning.
• there is enough free space on the hard disk drive.
• all other applications are closed.
• the scanner has the correct amount of memory installed for the documents
being scanned.
You can also try changing the scanning options (compression, etc.) in your
scanning software.
Documents are multifeeding
Make sure that:
• the leading edges of all batched documents are centered in the ADF so that
each document will come in contact with the feed rollers.
• the feed module and separator module are clean and not worn.
• documents with an unusual texture or surface are fed manually.
Roller marks or streaks appear Clean the feed module and separator module tires and the drive rollers. Refer to
on documents after scanning
the Maintenance section.
Vertical lines appear on
the image
• Clean the imaging guides. Refer to the Maintenance section.
• Calibrate the scanner. Refer to the Maintenance section.

Imprinter maintenance
The ink cartridges, ink blotter strips, and ink cartridge carrier used in the
imprinter will need replacing occasionally.
Imprinting problems
If you are having problems imprinting on scanned documents:
• Verify that the ink cartridge is not empty. The ink bladder inside the cartridge
is flat when it is empty.
• Make sure that the ink cartridge is properly installed in the imprinter.
• Make sure that the ink cartridge is located in the correct position
for imprinting.
• Make sure that the ink cartridge carrier is properly seated in its
positioning slot.
• Verify that all imprinter connectors are securely fastened and that the
imprinter cables are not folded or creased.
Expected life of imprinter
components
• Imprinter ink cartridge: approximately 750,000 non-bold characters
per cartridge
• Ink blotter strips: replace as necessary when soiled
• Ink cartridge carrier: approximately 500,000 pages
When the imprinter
is not in use
When the imprinter is not being used, place the ink cartridge on its side so that
ink does not drip down on the blotter strips.
Replacing an ink cartridge
Refer to “Installing an ink cartridge” in this chapter for information about
replacing an empty ink cartridge.

Imprinting overview
Many applications with capture needs up to 10,000 pages per day, particularly
in the finance, insurance, and public administration industries, require an
imprinter. Furthermore, forms processing applications in all areas can benefit
from the use of an imprinter.
The Kodak i200 Series Imprinter is unique in that the document print string can
be configured to include both literal (static) information (i.e., information that
stays the same for each document, such as batch name, scan station, or
operator) and dynamic information (i.e., information that may change for each
page scanned, such as sequential document number). Software controls static
fields; any information that the software allows you to enter can be sent to the
imprinter. The imprinter can be manually placed in 14 horizontal positions.
All imprinter controls and functions are accessible through ISIS and TWAIN
drivers. Imprinting must be enabled or disabled for each scan session.
A maximum of 40 characters, which can include any alphanumeric and special
characters from the printable character set (see chart below), is allowed.
Imprinter information is posted to an image header record, which is accessible
via the host computer.

Print characters
Characters can be printed in two orientations, Cine (no rotation) or Comic
(90× rotation), and two sizes, Small (regular) and Large (bold), and are
designed to fit seven characters per inch when printed in Comic orientation.
Imprinting cannot be done within 0.89 cm (0.35 in.) of the leading or trailing
edge of the document.

The resolution of the character fonts is 96 dpi across the width of the scanner.
However, the font resolution varies with the direction that the paper is fed into
the scanner. This variable allows the creation of an easy-to-read character
string. The approximate resolution of the printed output is shown below.

Changes to the print string, other than automatic, sequential number
advances, require a host command to restart the imprinter. You must
initiate a change between documents or batches. Changes cannot be done
automatically or between documents “on the fly.”
