Electronic color dropout, Level rules | Kodak A-61580 manual

Level rules	Level rules are an automated way to control document image
	addressing based on the level of the previous document. For a level 3
	indexing scheme, the application must define the Level to Follow Level
	rules for Level 3, Level 2, and Level 1 For example:.

		Level to
	Level	Follow Level
	3	2

	2	1

	1	1

	Level to follow level rules are used to automatically drop to a lower
	level. Returning to a higher level is generally done through patch or
	application control of the next image address.
Controlling print strings	Full control and access to the scanner’s print string functionality is
	available to the host application. In addition, the print string information
	is returned to the host in the image header.

Electronic color dropout

•Maximum character length  40.

•Character set  full alphanumeric, including special characters.

NOTE: To view Japanese characters correctly you must get the MS Gothic font set by installing the Microsoft Global IME 5.01 for Japanese – with Language Pack, English Language Version which can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/ms download/ iebuild/ime5_win32/en/ime5_win32htm.

•Distance from lead edge  a minimum of a .035-inch.

•Can print to within ½-inch of the trial edge.

The i1800 Series Scanners provide the ability to create dropout images without changing lamps. Red, green, blue dropout functionality can be selected. Only one color can be dropped out at a time. This dropout performance is equivalent to color dropout functionality when using the traditional color lamp technique.

Electronic color dropout is used with OCR and ICR applications. See your vendor’s documentation for recommendations on image quality characteristics.

Electronic color dropout is applied to the black and white image only.

There are four imaging parameters, which effect electronic color dropout: Threshold Value/Filter Threshold, Background Value/ Background, Contrast %, and Threshold.

The tables that follow provide Pantone colors that may be used with the red, green and blue dropout option.
