Appendix 1—Testing methodology and results for speed and throughput

Kodak’s Quality Assurance Team conducted a series of comprehensive, competitive benchmark
tests comparing the Kodak i780 Scanner with ISIS to the Canon DR-X10C Scanner with VRS.
Throughput tests
The intent of these tests was to determine the throughput of each scanner using typical scanner
configurations. All scanners were configured with similar settings and all tests were conducted
with EMC QuickScan Pro v6.5.1 and run on the same PC host. EMC QuickScan Pro was chosen
because of its popularity as a third party application. The EMC QuickScan Pro demonstration
version was used so it would be easier for interested parties to validate results. (See Reference
A for configuration details.) The operator prepared documents prior to testing and fed them into
each scanner as quickly as possible. Five new sets of documents were used for each scanner
during testing. Each test was run for one hour with the total number of pages recorded.
