2 Best Practices

This chapter provides you with recommendations for program logic, which will allow you to interact efficiently with the i1800 Series Scanners. This high-level information is not intended to be used as a coding guide. The following information is provided in this chapter:

•Basic image capture

•Switching between color/grayscale and black and white

•Jam recovery

•Image file storage locations

•Bar code recognition

•Controlling print strings

•Electronic Color Dropout (form design, drop-out colors)

•Available image header information and its uses

•Zone processing (recombining images, especially for viewing)

•Programmable keys

•Starting image addresses

•Patch reading

•Batching

NOTE: The term host in the sections that follow refers to either the driver or application.

Basic image capture Basic image capture is a high-level logic flow for retrieving images from the scanner.

Follow this sequence to scan documents:

•set up the scanner,

•enable scanning,

•initiate polling,

•feed documents

•and disable scanning.
