2 Best Practices

This chapter provides you with recommendations for program logic, which will allow you to interact efficiently with the i800 Scanner. This high-level information is not intended to be used as a coding guide. The following information is provided in this chapter:

Basic image capture

Controlling image transfer order – switching between color/grayscale and bi-tonal

Jam recovery

Image file storage locations

Bar code recognition

Starting image addresses

Controlling print strings

Electronic Color Dropout (form design, drop-out colors)

Available image header information and its uses

Zone processing (recombining images, especially for viewing)

Programmable keys

Patch reading

Batching

NOTE: The term host in the sections that follow refers to either the driver or application depending on code logic.

Basic image capture

Basic image capture is the high-level logic flow for retrieving images

 

from the scanner.

 

Follow this sequence to scan documents: set up the scanner,

 

enable scanning, initiate polling, feed documents and disable

 

scanning.
