Overview This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to many users. The
Kodak i1200/i1300 Series Scanners provide the ability to process
scanned images to improve their quality. Using these features the
scanner can sometimes make the scanned image look better than the
original document. Basic image processing concepts are reviewed in
this chapter to help you take advantage of these features.
Image processing refers to several separate features of the scanner
that allow you to automatically adjust each image in a certain way that
may improve the resulting images. Common examples of image
processing features are correcting any skew in the fed document,
cutting the edges of the image off to remove any unneeded border or
cleaning up extraneous “noise” on the image. This can be done
automatically so you can get better images with a minimum amount of
rework.
The information that follows describes these image processing
features. The same options should be available on the user interface of
the scanning application you are using (i.e., Kodak Capture Software).
