Product features

The Kodak i7300 Scanner Application Software controls the Kodak i7300 Scanner and the Kodak Digital Science Intelligent Microimage Scanner. The scanner is a 16 mm film retrieval subsystem that is interfaced with a personal computer (PC). The compact film drive and application software enable:

automatic retrieval of images on 16 mm roll microfilm with or without image marks

scanning of the image with a charged coupled device (CCD)

image processing and display of the digitally scanned image on the

PC

tools to maximize the image quality including editing and annotating

delivery of the digital image to the person requesting the image via standard PC utilities

For the purpose of this manual, the Kodak i7300 Scanner and the Kodak Digital Science Intelligent Microimage Scanner will be referred to as the scanner. If something is specific to one scanner or the other, it will be noted.

The Kodak i7300 Scanner Application Software provides the following features:

Easy to use interface — all the tools and procedures you need are accessible via icons, toolbars, and pull-down menus. A familiar Microsoft Windows software format also makes it easy to learn.

Improved imaging performance — choose Normal or Enhanced for high-resolution scanning results in a high quality bi-tonal or gray scale image.

Image processing — the powerful algorithms of the application software deliver high quality images.

CAR capability — the application software can be setup to accept CAR (Computer-Aided Retrieval) commands by adding an optional Kodak CAR Interface Software to the standard application software. The CAR 278 Interface, CAR 278 Synchronous Interface Unit or Hostlink for Micrographics by eiStream Kofile may be required for interfacing with mainframe computer systems.

On-line help the on-line help facility provides access to complete procedures on how to use the software.

NOTE: Even though the i7300 Scanner Application Software works with the Intelligent Microimage Scanner, the Intelligent Microimage Scanner will not scan images as fast as the i7300 Scanner, nor can the Intelligent Microimage Scanner do whole roll conversions.
