7 Configuring for TCP/IP

The Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC) supports TCP/IP. The NIC appears to the network as a print server with its own IP address using the lpd line printer daemon protocol. Any host computer that supports the remote lpr command can spool jobs to the NIC. The NIC also supports gateways for communications with hosts on remote networks. For special applications, a raw TCP port is available. Kodak develops printing software and supports networked printing environments for Windows and Macintosh platforms.

Windows

For Windows platforms, NT is the only platform that supports TCP/IP printing. Win95/98 systems do not support direct printing using TCP/IP printing without the addition of special purpose TCP/IP LPR printing software.

Macintosh

Macintosh systems use AppleTalk protocol for network communications and do not support TCP/IP printing without the addition of special purpose TCP/IP software.

Unix

Kodak does not develop printing software for Unix platforms. However, Kodak assists third-party developers who provide applications and printing software to support Kodak printers. Refer to the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com) for information on third-party developer solutions.

Some customers who have Unix applications and drivers capable of generating PostScript output files may wish to submit these files to Kodak PostScript printers.

General information for configuring printers on Unix platforms is provided to accommodate the use of lpr to send output files to Kodak printers. If you encounter problems, administrators should refer to the documentation for their specific Unix platform for configuring print queues.

NOTE: Although generic PostScript files should print on Kodak PostScript printers, Kodak cannot guarantee the quality of output generated from non-Kodak drivers that may not support features such as calibration of Kodak printers.

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.
