2 Scanning Concepts
This chapter provides an overview of the scanning process , a
discussion of error conditions, and two methods of fault recovery.
Scanning documents
Follow this sequence to scan documents : set up the scanner,
enable scanning, initiate polling, feed documents, and disable
scanning.
Setup
To set up the scanner:
1. Determine and select the mode (configuration) to be used for
the current application.
The mode may be selected by the host computer using a
scanner-unique command (HA), or by the operator using the
scanner control panel.
2. Determine if any changes to the Image Processing parameters
need to be made for the current application. Execute the
required scanner-unique command(s) to make the desired
changes.
Image Processing parameter changes remain in effect until
one of the following conditions occur:
— The scanner is powered down using the main power
switch.
— A SCSI bus device Reset command is executed.
— A single parameter change is overridden by another
change to the same parameter.
3. Set the Sequential ID Number Seed and/or the Next Image
Address using a scanner-unique command (DC and HC,
respectively), if desired.
4. Calibrate the scanner. For procedures on how to do this, see
the
Kodak Digital Science
Scanner 9500, User’s Guide.
5. Prepare documents according to the instructions found in the
Kodak Digital Science
Scanner 9500, User’s Guide
.
