Patch function overview
All i1800 Series Scanners provide toggle patch capability. This type of patch is used to trigger the scanner to switch from the current image stream
The Patch Readers | The Patch Readers allow you to automatically increment the image | |
| address or initiate a special function. Image addressing must be | |
| enabled in order to use the Patch Readers. Patch sheets are inserted | |
| during document preparation. |
|
| For i1860 Scanner only: There are four | |
| mounted Patch Readers. They can be independently enabled or | |
| disabled by your capture software application. | |
| If more than one Patch Reader is enabled and any one of the enabled | |
| Patch Readers successfully decodes the patch, then the patch will be | |
| read. Also, if the patch bars pass under more than one patch head that | |
| is enabled, there is a higher probability that the patch will be read. | |
| NOTE: Almost all patch reading problems are related to poor quality | |
| patch codes or patch sheets. Using only the best quality printed | |
| patch sheets will ensure the highest possible read rates. | |
| See Kodak publication | |
| information. |
