This section provides general recommendations regarding the impact of image file storage locations on the overall throughput of the scanner.
Depending upon the model of your scanner, you can receive up to four image files per document. Decisions about where to write these files when retrieving them from the scanner could impact the overall throughput of the scanner. In order to prevent overwriting data the scanner stops feeding paper when the internal image buffer reaches two-thirds capacity. Scanning will not resume until buffer memory reaches one-third. 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 in order to avoid the potential overhead of transferring files across the network to remote drives during scanning.
This section provides general information about bar code recognition and read rates.
Unlike previous high-volume scanners from Kodak, the i800 Series Scanners do not include a bar code accessory. Bar code functionality is now the responsibility of the host system. The main imaging parameter, which may affect bar code read rates, is resolution. Depending upon your scanner model, either bi-tonal, grayscale or color images may be used for bar code applications. Refer to your software documentation for their recommendations and/or requirements for image file quality to achieve desired read rates.
