Appendix E Patch Code Information

This appendix provides additional information for patch codes supported by Kodak Ngenuity 9000 Series Scanners.

Kodak Ngenuity Scanners include two hardware-based Patch Readers. The Patch Reader recognizes patches with bars that are parallel to the lead edge of the document. All Kodak Ngenuity Scanners support patch reading for color toggle patch processing. Only the Kodak Ngenuity 9150 Scanner supports Printer Counter Increment and Resetting through Patch. The Kodak Ngenuity 9150 Scanner does not support full image addressing or batching.

The following additional patches for the Kodak Ngenuity Series Scanners have the same element specifications as the Patch Codes described in Kodak publication, A-61599, “Patch Code Information for Kodak Scanners”.

The wide bars should be 0.20 inches (5 mm) wide plus 0.01 inches (0.25 mm). The narrow bars and spaces should be 0.08 inches (2.03

mm)wide plus 0.01 inches (0.25 mm). The maximum width of the patch code is 0.80 inches (20 mm) plus 0.01 inches (0.25 mm). The minimum overall length of the patch bars is 2 inches (50 mm).

For vertical placement, the patch cannot start before 0.25 inches from the leading edge of the page and the bottom of the patch pattern must finish before 3.75 inches from the leading edge.

The only exception to this is when Increment on Patch or Reset on Patch is checked; the patches must occur in the region from 0.25 inches to 1.70 inches from the leading edge.

NOTE:Only patches on the top side of the document will be read.
