Document separation is a common use of patch pages. Typically, patch pages are separate physical pieces of paper with patch patterns printed on them that are inserted into a stack of pages to be scanned. The features that are triggered by the patch page are determined by your scanner or scanning application. Kodak i5000 Series Scanners can read patches in these ways. • Method 1: Using the cameras to read patches vertically. Vertical in this document means the bars of the patch pattern are aligned to the direction of paper movement in the scanner. This method of patch reading allows the patches to be anywhere across the top of a document and on the front or back of the document. A disadvantage to this method is that a page with a patch pattern will be printed before (with front, pre-scan printer) the patch is read so the printing on a page cannot be modified based on the presence of a patch on that page. • Method 2: Using the cameras to read patches horizontally. Horizontal in this document means that the bars of the patch pattern are perpendicular to the direction of paper movement in the scanner. When reading patches in the horizontal orientation, using the camera the scanner creates four virtual patch readers in the same locations as the four physical patch readers. The patches must be located on the page in a location that would pass through the transport in the same location as the four physical patch readers. 6-1
