1 Introduction Kodak i800 Series Scanners The i800 Scanners are high-volume production scanners which include image processing technology that can improve image quality and sometimes make the reproduction better than the original. You can use the ISIS Driver or TWAIN Data source (both are available on the CD that is included with the scanner) or Kodak Digital Science Capture Software to enable image processing. Other popular scanning applications are also compatible with these

i800 Series Scanners can return bi-tonal, grayscale or color images to Image outputs the host. Below is a description of the valid combinations. All i800 Scanners are duplex scanners. This means both the front and the rear side of each document may be captured. For each side captured, the scanner creates a bi-tonal/binary only (i810/i830) or a bi-tonal/binary and color/grayscale (i820/i840) image. The host application controls which of these images is transferred to the host to be store

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

Set up your scanner operating conditions: • simplex/duplex • starting image address • image order • lamp timeout • 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 • batching parameters (batch level, count, start and end-of-batch functions) • patch parameters (patch types to recognize, transfer patch

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. • A SCSI bus devi

Scanning is also disabled when one of the following conditions occur: • The scanner is first powered on using the power switch. • A SCSI bus device Reset command is executed. • An End-of-Job indicator is sent by the operator from the operator control panel. • A scanner-unique End-of-Job command is issued by the host computer. • An error o

When an error occurs, the host will receive a SCSI Check Condition Status. This indicates to the host that there may be one current error and potentially one or more deferred errors. The host must follow a Check Condition Status with a SCSI Request Sense command. The Sense data will indicate the type of error that has occurred. To receive subsequent pending errors, the host must execute a SCSI Test Unit Ready command. If a deferred error is pending, the Test Unit Ready command will term

This section provides recommendations for application logic Jam and Fault recovery associated with scanner 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. IMPORTANT: Before beginning fault recovery, make sure all the headers and images have been transferred from the image buffer to the host system. When a document jam or other fault occurs, the feeder and the transport will

Unlike previous high-volume scanners from Kodak, the i800 Series Image addressing Scanners moved all image address functionality to the host. This includes index format, starting image address, image address format and level rules. Image address format The image address format can be from one to four fields. Each field may be up to 9 characters. Total image address length with delimiters is 30 characters. Each field may use level 1, level 2, level 3, and fixed fields, and must be explici

Indexing schemes Documents are scanned to record the information in an easily accessible form. The scanner offers the following indexing schemes: • Single level • Two level • Two level offset • Three level • Three level offset Single level indexing When using single level indexing, the image address assigned to each document is defined as follows: • Field D is defined as a Level 1 field having a field length greater than 0. • Fields C, B and A may be defined as fixed fields if desire

Two level indexing When using two level indexing, the image address assigned to each document is defined as follows: • Field D (Level 1) defined as having a field length greater than 0. • Field C (Level 2) defined as having a field length greater than 0. • Fields B and A may be defined as fixed fields if desired. For example, if you scan a book with 2 chapters (Chapter 1 has 40 pages and Chapter 2 has 60 pages) the image address has been defined: • Field D has 3 characters • Field C h
