This guide provides instructions for using the High-Resolution Printer
Accessory / for the Kodak i1800 Series Scanners.
The High-Resolution Printer Accessory provides an effective way to
apply information to the scanned document and use document
management systems such as batching and time-stamping. It also
provides a print capability that is programmed to support alphanumeric
characters as defined by the application software. All print information
is captured in a document header record. All printer controls and
functions are accessible via the ISIS Driver and TWAIN Datasource.
Some features of the High-Resolution Printer Accessory are:
• Prints up to 40 characters per page, front pre-scan only
• Improved print quality
• A choice of red or black printer cartridges
• Auto purge
• Adjustable print contrast (via font selection: 50% Normal; 100% Bold)
Printed information The information printed by the High-Resolution Printer Accessory is
defined by the application software. Up to 40 characters per document
can be printed. Printed information can include:
• Document image address
•Date
•Time
• Document sequential counter
• Custom message text
The same information may be printed on documents of all levels, or
different information may be printed on documents of different levels.
The orientation/rotation, format and style/font can all be selected.
Orientation/Rotation — you can select the orientation of the print
string. Options are 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
Style/Font — the Contrast of the print string can be adjusted. You can
select Normal (50%) or Bold/Large (100%).

Configuring your
print string
Configuring your High-Resolution Printer is done via the TWAIN
Datasource or ISIS Driver. Detailed procedures for configuring print
strings can be found in the Image Processing Guide for Kodak i1800
Series Scanners, A-61580.
NOTE: When using the High-Resolution Printer in a scanner with image
address and patch reading enabled, all patches must be within
2.5 inches of the lead edge.
When using the High-Resolution Printer, you must decide whether to
use single- or multi-character printing.
If your application software uses the TWAIN Datasource, access the
Printer tab to define single- or multi-character printing.
Format — select either Normal (single-character) or Block (multi-
character) format.

4 A-61591 / Part #9E8651 January 2008
If your application software uses the ISIS Driver, access the Printer tab
and select Block or Normal mode.

Changing the
horizontal print
position
The location of the information you want to print on a document is
determined by the print position of the High-Resolution Printer
Accessory within the scanner and the pre-defined print position.
To change the horizontal print position:
1. Remove the output tray.
2. Open the print access cover.

6 A-61591 / Part #9E8651 January 2008
There are 6 horizontal print positions. These positions are visible on
the printer rail.
3. Slide the printer along the print rail until it is in the desired position.
The arrow on the printer cartridge carrier should be aligned with the
desired print position.
4. When finished, close the print access cover and reinstall the output
tray.
Print Positions

A-61591 / Part#9E8651 January 2008 7
Changing the vertical
print position
The Print Test function allows you to print a “ladder” target where each
vertical line is printed by one of the jets in the print head. If a line is
missing, one of the jets is not working. Dabbing the print head with a
Staticide wipe will often open clogged jets.
Omit printing on next
document only
If you need to rescan a document(s) and want to avoid a duplicate print
string on the same document, use the Omit Print option.
You can omit printing on the next document by selecting the Omit Print
option on the scanner touchscreen. You must select Omit Print before
feeding any document that you want to eliminate printing on.
NOTE: This example assumes that the application software has defined
the Omit Print function.

8 A-61591 / Part #9E8651 January 2008
Omit printing on
more than one
document
The Disable Print function allows you to temporarily disable printing on
all documents in a batch. This may be useful if rescanning a stack of
documents that have already been printed.
The Disable Print function is only available after the scanner is enabled
(scanning started from the host PC). If you want to disable printing for
the first document in the batch, then your host software should be set
up to NOT automatically start scanning.
The Disable Print button is only available if printing has been enabled
by the scanning application. Once Disable Print is turned on, no
documents will be printed on until one of the following occurs:
•Disable Print is turned off, or
• the scanner is disabled because there are no more documents to
scan (End Job) or a multifeed occurs and the scanner is set up via
the Stop Scanning option on jam.
