Configuring Servers and Workstations for Printing

Unix Servers and Workstations

Refer to “Configuring for TCP/IP” for details on configuring these platforms as servers or workstations. Also refer to the notes in that chapter regarding support for Unix systems.

Windows for Work Groups (3.x)

Windows for Work Groups systems can not be set up to print directly to printers over the network. An existing network print queue must be selected and captured to an LPT port.

Windows 95/98

It is recommended that a Novell, NT or Unix network server print queue be established to support printing from Windows 95/98 systems. This method will support both PostScript and raster file printing.

Windows 95/98/NT systems also support Peer to Peer printing using NetBEUI. Refer to the “MicroSoft Peer to Peer Print Services NetBEUI)” for configuration details. For PostScript printing, a local printer must be set up on each workstation. For raster file printing, the printer can be selected by browsing the network from the PhotoShop export module for a network queue.

Macintosh

Macintosh systems use AppleTalk for network communications. Refer to “Configuring for AppleTalk” for details on network printing using AppleTalk.

This high speed ensures that even large volumes of paperwork can be processed efficiently, making these scanners ideal for busy offices and organizations that handle significant amounts of documentation.

The advanced image processing capabilities of the Kodak 8670 and 8660 enhance scanned images' quality, providing clarity and reducing the need for rescans. With features like automatic color detection, and image enhancement technologies such as de-skewing and background removal, these scanners ensure that each image is captured accurately and with minimal manual intervention.

Connectivity is a critical feature of both models. They come equipped with USB 3.0 interfaces, allowing for high-speed data transfer to connected devices. Additionally, these scanners support versatile networking options, including Ethernet connectivity, making them suitable for shared environments where multiple users can access the device seamlessly.

The user-friendly design of the Kodak 8670 and 8660 includes an intuitive control panel that allows for easy operation. The scanners are also compatible with Kodak's Smart Touch feature, enabling users to configure custom workflows and automate repetitive tasks. This feature enhances productivity by allowing users to scan and send documents directly to various destinations, including email, cloud storage, or network folders.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Kodak 8670 and 8660 is their robust paper handling capabilities. These scanners can handle various media types, including thick card stock and embossed documents, making them versatile for multiple scanning applications.

In terms of software integration, both models are compatible with Kodak's powerful Capture Pro Software, enabling users to harness the full potential of the scanners. This software offers tools for document management, OCR (optical character recognition), and advanced indexing, allowing businesses to enhance their document processing workflows further.

With their combination of speed, advanced image processing, and user-friendly features, the Kodak 8670 and 8660 scanners stand out as efficient solutions for organizations looking to enhance their document handling capabilities. These models exemplify Kodak’s commitment to innovation and performance in the field of document scanning technology.
