Kodak Imagelink
Patch Reader 500
A patch is a pattern of alternating black bars and white spaces
that is printed or placed on a document. The
Kodak Imagelink
Patch Reader 500 Accessory recognizes patch documents and
automatically assigns a level 3, 2, or 1 to the document Image
Address of the patch document or next document. This method of
controlling document levels eliminates the need for an operator to
manually press a level key on the Control Panel or to change
document Image Levels using the footswitch.
Available Patches The patch reader is capable of reading and interpreting three
different patch codes.
3–Patch
Assigns to a Level 3 to the patch document.
2–Patch
Assigns to a Level 2 to the patch document.
T–Patch
Transfer Patch
Assigns a level 3, 2, or 1 (depending on the Transfer Patch
Definition) to the next document.
At installation, application modes are defined for use with specific
applications. If the patch reader has been installed, the Transfer
Patch can be defined to assign a level 3, 2, or 1 to the next
document and a level 0 to the patch document, or defined to
assign a level 3, 2, or 1 to the patch document.
