Kodak Patch Code Information is a
pattern of parallel, alternating black bars and spaces that is printed on a
document. Kodak INnovation Series Scanners which have patch reading capability
can recognize patch documents and automatically assign a document image level,
increment the document image address, or perform "Color on the Fly"
functionality.
Kodak Patch Code provides six different patterns:
-
Patch 2: Assigns image level 2 to the current document.
-
Patch 3: Assigns image level 3 to the current document.
-
Patch T / Transfer Patch: Assigns a predefined image level to the next
document. The predefined image level is based upon the transfer patch
definition which is defined for each application during installation. For
example, if the transfer patch definition defined for the current mode is image
level 2, then use of a transfer patch assigns image level 2 to the next
document.
The next Patch Types (1, 4 and 6) can be used by the host for post-scan image
control for the i800 Series Scanners (they are not used for image addressing).
The Toggle Patch may be used to switch back and forth from bi-tonal and color
scanning for the i280, 3590C Scanners and the i600 and i800 Series Scanners.
This provides Color on the Fly during capture, with no need for post-scan
processing by the host application.
