Photo scanning
For the best scanning results the following is suggested:
• Place your photos face-up in the input tray. This orientation
minimizes scratching of the print emulsion.
• The
Kodak
Picture Saver System Scanner is shipped with the
Kodak
Separation Module / for i1200/i1300 Series Scanners and with the
pre-separation pad un-installed. If you encounter problems when
feeding photos through the scanner, especially curled photos, you
can install the pre-separation pad and/or install the
Kodak
Separation
Module / for i1200/i1300 Series Scanners. For pre-separation pad
installation procedures, see “Replacing the pre-separation pad” in
Chapter 5,
Maintenance
. For instructions on replacing the separation
module, see “Replacing the separation module and tires” also in
Chapter 5.
IMPORTANT: Use caution when scanning photos with the pre-
separation pad installed. Internal testing has shown a
higher risk of scratching on the prints.
Reducing streaks
The
Kodak
Picture Saver Scanning System software has been
enhanced to reduce the occurrence of streaks in your images. The best
method to obtain streak-free images is to keep the scanner imaging
area clean. The Picture Saver Scanning System software provides an
option called
Image Cleaner tool
. When this option is checked, the
software will attempt to remove any streaks that may occur in a
scanned image from the dust in the scanner. In most cases, corrections
are either undetectable or very hard to detect. However, based on the
size of the streak and the image content where the streak exists, there
may be a slightly observable correction artifact remaining. In almost all
cases, this correction artifact is preferable to the actual streak.
Monitoring Streaks
— review images on the Scan Viewer screen and
if streaks are detected, pull the rest of the photos from the feeder to
stop the scanner. It is best to scan photos in smaller batches
(approximately 50) then rescan these images as necessary.
