Dropout tab

Dropout tab	The Dropout tab displays the Image Mode, Mode and Toggle Patch
	information that was previously described. Refer to the section entitled
	“Main tab” earlier in this chapter for descriptions.

Color Dropout	Color Dropout is used to eliminate a form's background so that a
	document management system may automatically - through OCR
	(Optical Character Recognition) and ICR (Intelligent Character
	Recognition) technology - read pertinent data without interference from
	the lines and boxes of the form. Kodak Scanners can drop out either
	red, green or blue. Color Dropout options are only available when
	Black and White or Grayscale is selected.
	Red — changes the amount of red in the color image.
	Green — changes the amount of green in the color image.
	Blue — changes the amount of blue in the color image.
	Background Value: this value will be substituted in the grayscale (pre-
	thresholded) image for the color being removed. Therefore, this value
	should be higher than the threshold value selected on the Main tab for
	this pixel to become the background color. The default value is 245. For
	example, if you are scanning a white document with a green form and
	you have selected a black and white threshold value of 127, you should
	select a color dropout background value greater than 127 so the
	substituted pixel will be white in the dropped-out image.
	Threshold Value: the value that is used to identify the color which will
	be dropped out. This value is applied to the color area. The default
	value is 175.
