4 Image Processing
Overview
Starting the Scan Validation Tool
This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to many users. The Kodak i1200/i1300 Series Scanners provide the ability to process scanned images to improve their quality. Using these features the scanner can sometimes make the scanned image look better than the original document. Basic image processing concepts are reviewed in this chapter to help you take advantage of these powerful features.
Image processing refers to several separate features of the scanner that allow you to automatically adjust each image in a certain way that may improve the resulting images. Common examples of image processing features are correcting any skew in the fed document, cutting the edges of the image off to remove any unneeded border or cleaning up extraneous “noise” on the image. This can be done automatically so you can get better images with a minimum amount of rework.
The information that follows describes the image processing features by walking you through the Scan Validation Tool. The same options should be available on the user interface of the software application you are using (i.e., Kodak Capture Software).
1.Select Start>Programs>Kodak>Document Imaging>Scan Validation Tool.
2.Select TWAIN (or ISIS) for the Driver Type and the Kodak Scanner i1200/i1300 Scanner as the Driver. The Scan Validation Tool dialog box will be displayed.
