Enhanced Printer
overview

The Kodak i1800 Series Scanners include a factory-installed, pre-
configured front or rear printer. The printer operates at full scanner
speed and prints on the front before scanning or rear after scanning.
The printer can add a date, time, image address, and custom
messages.

The printer is unique in that the document print string can be configured
to include both literal (static) information (i.e., information that stays the
same for each document, such as batch name or operator) and
dynamic information (i.e., information that may change for each page
scanned, such as the image address). The capture software application
controls static fields; any information that the software allows you to
enter can be sent to the printer.

All printer controls and functions are accessible through the ISIS Driver
or TWAIN Data source. Printing must be enabled or disabled for each
scan session.

NOTES:

• The scanner is shipped configured for front printing. See the section

entitled, “Moving the printer carrier and cable from the front to the
rear or vice versa” to change to the rear printing position.

• Clean the scanner’s paper path components daily when using the

printer.

• You may only use one printer (either front or rear) at one time. If you

attempt to print on both sides, an error will be displayed.

• The minimum document height for using the printer is 10 cm (4 in.)

with adjustable side guides.

• The ink cartridge must be installed prior to powering on the scanner,

or it could result in errors when printing is attempted.
