Switching Scan Modes (Color Scanner 3590C Only) The Color Scanner 3590C contains two cameras: one captures bitonal (black-and-white) images on both sides of documents and the other captures color images on the front side of documents. Only one camera at a time can be in position to capture images. You can control the switch between bitonal and color scanning quickly and easily, on the fly, by feeding the Kodak-designed patch document into the scanner in portrait or landscape orientation. NOTE: The patch document is in a .pdf file is on the Installation CD. The Patch Document The patch document contains two identical patch codes (similar to a bar code). One patch code is positioned to be scanned if the patch document is fed in portrait orientation (shorter side first). The other patch code is positioned to be scanned if the patch document is fed in landscape orientation (longer side first). The patch document must be fed into the scanner as shown below. When you feed the patch document into your Color Scanner 3590C, the scanner detects the patch code and switches to the opposite scan mode. If the scanner is in color scan mode, the patch code causes a switch to bitonal scanning; if the scanner is in bitonal scan mode, the patch code causes a switch to color scanning. For a mixed batch of color and bitonal documents, place a patch document between your color and bitonal documents. The patch document .pdf file is on the Installation CD. Print the quantity of patch documents you need (refer to "Patch Document Specifications" in this chapter) using a black-and-white laser printer. A laser printer delivers the sharpest image quality on the patch code. The performance of inkjet-printed patch documents and photocopies of laser-printed patch documents cannot be guaranteed. You do not need different patch code documents to switch from bitonal to color scanning and vice versa. The patch document is designed to switch to the opposite scanning mode, regardless of the current mode. Only one type of patch document is required. Once the Color Scanner 3590C detects the patch code, it takes three to four seconds for the scanner to switch cameras, then document feeding starts again automatically. The scanned patch document is not saved as an image file. It does not take up space on your hard drive or network. 4-6 A-61159 May 2002

Switching
Scan Modes
(Color
Scanner 3590C
Only)
The Color Scanner 3590C contains two cameras: one captures bitonal
(black-and-white) images on both sides of documents and the other
captures color images on the front side of documents. Only one camera
at a time can be in position to capture images. You can control the
switch between bitonal and color scanning quickly and easily, on the fly,
by feeding the Kodak-designed patch document into the scanner in
portrait or landscape orientation.
NOTE: The patch document is in a .pdf file is on the Installation CD.
The Patch Document
The patch document contains two identical patch codes (similar to a bar
code). One patch code is positioned to be scanned if the patch
document is fed in portrait orientation (shorter side first). The other
patch code is positioned to be scanned if the patch document is fed in
landscape orientation (longer side first). The patch document must be
fed into the scanner as shown below.
When you feed the patch document into your Color Scanner 3590C, the
scanner detects the patch code and switches to the opposite scan
mode. If the scanner is in color scan mode, the patch code causes a
switch to bitonal scanning; if the scanner is in bitonal scan mode, the
patch code causes a switch to color scanning. For a mixed batch of
color and bitonal documents, place a patch document between your
color and bitonal documents.
The patch document .pdf file is on the Installation CD. Print the
quantity of patch documents you need (refer to “Patch Document
Specifications” in this chapter) using a black-and-white laser printer.
A laser printer delivers the sharpest image quality on the patch code.
The performance of inkjet-printed patch documents and photocopies of
laser-printed patch documents cannot be guaranteed.
You do not need different patch code documents to switch from bitonal
to color scanning and vice versa. The patch document is designed to
switch to the opposite scanning mode, regardless of the current mode.
Only one type of patch document is required.
Once the Color Scanner 3590C detects the patch code, it takes three to
four seconds for the scanner to switch cameras, then document feeding
starts again automatically.
The scanned patch document is not saved as an image file. It does not
take up space on your hard drive or network.
