Film curl

Microfilm curl check

∙Make sure there is minimal skew (a slanted cut leaving an angled gap) between the leader tape and film. The skew should be no more than 0.002 in./in. (0.05 mm/mm).

Skew

0.002 in./in.

(0.05 mm/mm) or less

∙The thickness of the connecting section should be no more than 0.014 (0.38 mm).

Thickness 0.014 in. (0.38 mm) or less

For most film types and operating conditions, a certain amount of film curl can exist without adversely affecting the performance of the scanner (see the next section entitled, “Microfilm curl check”). Under certain conditions, however, curled film ends may result in degraded threading performance. Specific conditions that may result in degraded performance with curled films include:

∙partial reels (reels containing less than a full amount of film)

∙operating environments with low relative humidity

∙enclosed ANSI magazines

In order to maintain reliable film threading under these conditions or others where curled films may cause degraded performance, certain steps can be taken:

∙Straighten the film end (leader) by forcing it over a straight edge or surface to remove the curl and/or twist from the first 6 to 8 inches. (150 to 200 mm). Care must be taken not to crease or damage the film end during straightening.

∙Attach a straight film leader in good condition that is approximately

36 in. (915 mm) long. (A leader of 5-mil thick polyester film will obtain the best results.)

The microfilm can have a certain amount of curl without affecting operation. To check the curl of your microfilm:

1.Place the diagram upright with the outline of the reel at the top of the page.

2.Place your reel over the outline and let the film hang down.

3.Move your reel until the film’s curl matches one of the arcs in the diagram.

The film curl is acceptable if it falls within the shaded area (see the next page).

This high-speed performance is complemented by advanced image processing technologies that ensure each scanned document retains its clarity and detail.

The i7300 is equipped with Kodak's Perfect Page technology, which enhances image quality by automatically adjusting brightness, contrast, and sharpness. This ensures that documents are not only scanned quickly but also with accurate color reproduction and reduced noise. As part of this technology, it also has automatic image enhancement features that can straighten skewed images and remove unwanted backgrounds.

With a robust built, the i7300 is designed to handle various media types, including thick cards, plastic ID cards, and long documents. The scanner features a reliable feed system that minimizes jams and double feeds, maintaining the workflow in busy scanning settings. Its large-capacity automatic document feeder (ADF) holds up to 500 sheets, further enhancing productivity.

The scanner boasts high versatility; it supports various resolutions from 100 to 600 dpi, catering to different scanning needs. Operators can also scan documents in different formats, such as PDF, JPEG, and TIFF, providing flexibility for document management systems.

In terms of connectivity, the Kodak i7300 provides USB 3.0 support for fast data transfer. For added convenience, the scanner is compatible with a range of software applications, allowing integration into existing digital workflows.

User-friendliness is another hallmark of the i7300 series. The intuitive control panel provides easy access to numerous features, enabling operators to customize settings according to their needs quickly. It also includes customizable scanning profiles, which streamline the user's workflow.

In summary, the Kodak i7300 series offers a powerful combination of speed, image quality, and adaptability, making it an excellent choice for organizations that need an efficient document scanning solution capable of handling large volumes while maintaining high standards.
