Kodak i1200 manual Selection of Black and White

Adjustments tab: black The options available depend on the Scan As selection you made on

and whitethe General tab. The following options are based on a Scan As

selection of Black and White.

Conversion quality — these settings effect the black and white image. Available options are Best, Normal and Draft. These options are applied to grayscale scanned images and outputs a black and white electronic image. The strength of the Best and Normal options lie in the ability to separate the foreground information from the background information even when the background color or shading varies, and the foreground information varies in color quality and darkness. Different types of documents may be scanned using the same image processing parameters and results in excellent scanned images. For scanning jobs where it is still needed, Draft is still available.

•Best (iThresholding): the scanner dynamically evaluates each document to determine the optimal threshold value to produce the highest quality image. This allows scanning of mixed document sets with varying quality (i.e., faint text, shaded backgrounds, color backgrounds) to be scanned using a single setting thus reducing the need for document sorting. When using Best, only Contrast can be adjusted.

•Normal (ATP): separates the foreground information in an image (i.e., text, graphics, lines, etc.) from the background information (i.e., white or non-white paper background). When using Normal, Threshold and Contrast can be adjusted.

•Draft (Fixed): used for black and white and other high contrast documents. If Draft is selected, only Threshold can be adjusted.
