2A-61167 April 2005
Paper transport
features
• Automatic and manual feeding
• Multifeed detection by document length and/or document thickness
• Automatic document feeder (ADF) with operator-assisted “infinite” and
single-sheet feeding
Speed/Capacity
(throughput)
The following speeds in pages per minute (ppm) are for color, grayscale, and
bi-tonal output.
Image quality features • Adaptive Threshold Processing (ATP), image compression, despeckle, and
dithering for bi-tonal scanning
• Built-in iThresholding for bi-tonal scanning uses a single setting to produce
the highest quality images for mixed document sets of varying quality (i.e.,
faint text, shaded backgrounds, color backgrounds).
• Image capture optical resolution: 300 dpi
• Image output resolution: 75/100/150/200/240/300/400/600 dpi for bi-tonal,
grayscale, and color scanning
NOTE: Throughput speed at 400 dpi and 600 dpi is dependent upon your
PC configuration.
• Auto-color balancing (auto-white balancing) to ensure good color balance
after calibration
• Pixel and color correction for the best color image quality
• Five levels of JPEG compression allow images to be viewed in many
image viewers
Maintenance • Easily replaceable feed module and separator module
• Easy one-step paper jam clearance
• LED indicators for power, ready, error, and operating conditions

Optional accessories •Kodak i200 Series Imprinter—prints a date, time, fixed string, and/or
sequential number on document backs. For information about this
accessory, refer to Appendix C, Kodak i200 Series Imprinter.
•Kodak i200 Series Dockable Flatbed—the A3 flatbed adds scanning
capability for exception documents. For information about this accessory,
refer to Appendix D, Kodak i200 Series Dockable Flatbed.
NOTE: For information about ordering the above accessories, refer to
Appendix B, Supplies and Accessories.
• Additional memory (SODIMM)—purchase a memory card at a computer
supply retailer near you. For information about installing a memory card,
refer to Appendix E, Installing Optional Memory.
Preparing documents
for scanning
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged so that
the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered under the
automatic document feeder. This allows the feeder to introduce documents
into the scanner one at a time. Documents must be positioned face down
for scanning.
• Staples and paper clips in documents may damage the scanner. Remove all
staples and paper clips before scanning.
• Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully through
the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every possible type of
damaged paper. If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document
can be transported through the scanner, place the document in a clear
protective sleeve. Sleeves should be manually fed, one at a time, folded
edge first, while lifting the gap release lever.
NOTES: You also can use the optional Kodak i200 Series Dockable Flatbed to
scan damaged documents.
In addition, the automatic document feeder on the i280 Scanner
can scan irregularly shaped documents (e.g., pages with coupons
removed or documents with large holes or cutouts in them) when
you use Special Document mode. For more information, refer to the
section “Additional Features.”
• When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the input tray guides
must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.
NOTE: Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that
represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most
common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is
achieved when scanning documents within the recommended
document specifications. Scanning documents that are outside of
these specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of
scanner reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.

Making connections Follow the instructions for installing the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) card and the
Kodak Driver Software before you plug the scanner into the host computer.
IMPORTANT: You must install the software on the host computer before you
install the scanner.
Installing the IEEE-1394
(FireWire) card in the
host computer
An IEEE-1394 six-pin connector is provided on the rear panel of the scanner
for IEEE-1394 (FireWire) connectivity.
1. Install the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) card in the host computer as described by
the instructions included with the card.
IMPORTANT: Use proper precautions to avoid static when you install the
IEEE-1394 (FireWire) card in your computer.
2. Power up the host computer after the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) card
installation is complete.
Installing the Kodak
Driver software
1. Insert the Kodak i200 Series Installation CD in the CD-ROM drive.
The installation program starts automatically.
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the TWAIN and ISIS drivers and
the Kodak Scan Validation Tool.
Installing the IEEE-1394
(FireWire) cable
1. Attach the beaded end of the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) cable to the IEEE-1394
port on the back of the scanner.
WARNING: Make sure that the position of the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) cable
connector end correlates to the IEEE-1394 port configuration
before you plug the cable in. Damage to the scanner will
occur if the cable is attached in the wrong position.
IMPORTANT: Only use the IEEE-1394 cable that is supplied with the
i200 Series Scanner.

2. Attach the other end of the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) cable to the
host computer.
WARNING: Make sure that the position of the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) cable
connector end correlates to the IEEE-1394 port configuration
before you plug the cable in. Damage to the scanner will
occur if the cable is attached in the wrong position.
IMPORTANT: The i200 Series Scanner should be the only item plugged in to
the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) card on the host computer.
Power setup One or more power cords may be supplied with the scanner. Use only the cord
required for your power type. Dispose of any unneeded power cords properly.
Use only the power supply that was provided with the scanner.
CAUTION: The scanner and power supply must only be used indoors in a
dry location.
IMPORTANT: Do not substitute another power supply model or another
manufacturer’s power supply.
