Kodak I1400 - Manual (Page 41)

Using the TWAIN
datasource
The Kodak i1400 Series Scanners can provide a wide variety of
electronic images. This can be done by using the TWAIN datasource
Kodak provides in concert with your scanning application. The TWAIN
datasource is the part of the capture system which links the scanner to
your scanning application.
When using the TWAIN datasource, the main Kodak Scanner window
will display a list of Setting Shortcuts. Each Setting Shortcut is a group
of specific image and device settings. The supplied Setting Shortcuts
represent some common electronic image outputs used for a wide
variety of input documents. If none of the Setting Shortcuts meet your
scanning needs, you can create a customized Setting Shortcut. For
example, you could create a Setting Shortcut called “Invoices” and
whenever you want to scan invoices, you simply select that Setting
Shortcut. For more information, refer to the sections entitled, “Creating
a new Setting Shortcut” and “Changing image settings” later in this
chapter.
For the purpose of this manual, all displayed dialog boxes assume the
features available on the Kodak i1420 and i1440 Scanners (duplex
scanner). If you have a Kodak i1410 Scanner (simplex scanner) all
options are limited to one-sided scanning only.
How do I begin?
The goal is to make scanning as simple as possible. This is
accomplished by selecting a Setting Shortcut from the main Kodak
Scanner window and then selecting OK/Scan.
The scanner comes with some Setting Shortcuts already defined. In
most cases, you will find that these shortcuts are all you will need. If you
find that you need different settings, then you should create your own
Setting Shortcut. Your shortcut will be added to the list of Setting
Shortcuts and available for all future scanning.
Most of the options you will want to set are available on these two
windows:
• Image Settings: clicking the Settings button on the main Kodak
Scanner window, displays the Image Settings window. From this
window you can set your image processing parameters by using the
General, Size, Adjustments and Enhancements tab. You can also
access the Device settings, by clicking the Device button or the
Advanced settings by clicking the Advanced Image Setup icon.
• Device Settings: the Device button is located on the Image Settings
window. When you select Device, you will have access to the
General and Multifeed tabs (and Printer tab if you have the document
printer installed). From the Device Settings window, you can also
access Diagnostics.
