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.
