The KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System is capable of scanning at an output resolution of 300, 600 or 1200 DPI. Optical resolution is 600 DPI on the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanner and KODAK A3 Flatbed Accessory and 1200 DPI for the KODAK A4 Flatbed Accessory. A typical photographic print has a resolution of approximately 300 DPI. A 300 DPI scan is suitable for printing at the original size and viewing on a computer monitor. A 600 DPI scan may be desired for zooming and cropping, printing enlargements or viewing on a large screen television. A 1200 DPI scan may be desired for KODAK A4 Flatbed Accessory exception scans.

The KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System is a rapid batch scanning system, which accepts photos into an automatic feeder, quick scans them and then passes the images to the PC. Both sides of the photos or documents are scanned at the same time. This feature can be useful for capturing handwriting, dates or other personal notes or information on the back side of a photo. The system also features automatic deskew, automatic ReTouch, Sharpen Image and Red Eye, reduction, in addition to a selectable software-based Image Cleaner Tool, that corrects the digital images for the effects of dust from the original photos.

The Sharpen Images feature sharpens the focus and edges of the scanned images. When this option is selected, all the images within an order will be sharpened after finishing photo scanning, just prior to the order being completed.

The automatic ReTouch feature is a one-touch process that may be applied after scanning. This feature automatically enhances an image to correct for color balance and dye fade, contrast and brightness. This feature is similar to the KODAK Perfect Touch technology that is used with Kodak digital cameras, printers and other products, and has been designed exclusively for the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System.

Red Eye reduction is a one-touch automatic enhancement that may be applied after scanning. This feature identifies eyes in an image and automatically corrects for red eye.

KODAK developed the software-based Image Cleaner Tool to automatically reduce the effects of dust while batch scanning photos. When the Image Cleaner Tool is selected, the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System will optimize image quality during the batch scanning process, correcting for the effects of dust on the original photos. To continue to get the best quality images from your scanned photos, clean the image guides on your KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System often.

The KODAK s1220 Photo Scanner can accommodate 30 photos, but we recommend 20-25 mixed-size photos per batch for optimum performance. Photos are fed into the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanner from the bottom, so you are able to continuously add photos to the top of the batch during operation.

The KODAK s1220 Photo Scanner accepts photos or documents from 2.5 x 2 in. up to 8.5 x 34 in. (63.5 x 50 mm up to 215 x 863 mm). The KODAK A3 or A4 Flatbed Accessory can accommodate additional sizes:

KODAK A4 Flatbed Accessory — up to 8.62 x 11.81 in. (219 x 300 mm)

KODAK A3 Flatbed Accessory — up to 11.92 x 18.15 in. (302 x 461 mm)

Prints that are severely curled can either be rotated 90 degrees so the curl is not in the direction of the transport or scanned using the KODAK A3 or A4 Flatbed Accessory. Image quality may be less than optimal if the prints are not rotated before scanning, since a significant curl may cause the photo to move away from the scanner glass during the scanning process, resulting in some distortion.

The KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System has been optimized to handle batches of photos fed through the automatic feeder. However, fragile photos or photos that already have tears or deep folds are best scanned using the KODAK A3 or A4 Flatbed Accessory, which will allow a photo to be laid flat on the glass as the image is captured.

Scanned photos are saved as a JPEG file (.jpg). Specifically, the files are saved as 24-bit RGB color and the compression quality is defaulted to Best.

The images are automatically saved to the default output directory C:\Scanned_Pictures, unless the setting was changed during software installation. This location is saved in the printscan.ini file and may be changed at any time. Output image files are stored in subdirectories, labeled with a date/time stamp and the order name, within the output directory. For further assistance on editing the output directory location, refer to the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System User Guide.

Output image files are labeled sequentially within the order subdirectories, including both the front and back if two-sided scanning was selected. Free file renaming software is available through a number of vendors to automatically rename the image files on the hard drive. Use the key words “file renamer” in your favorite Internet browser search engine to find additional information.

The capacity depends on the size of the original photos, the JPEG compression level and the DPI resolution selected for scanning. The default output folder size is set to 650 images for a CD and is configurable in the printscan.ini file. For more information about editing the number of images per CD, refer to the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System User Guide.

The KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System software creates an xml file for each order that provides customer information, order date, the count of scanned images and the DPI resolution for the order. This file may be found in the order folder.

Wear cotton gloves while handling prints and ensure the prints are clean before scanning. Use a gentle air spray or vacuum, or gently clean with a microfiber cloth (a lint-free, ultra-soft disposable non-abrasive wipe provided with the Brillianize Detailer Wipes; CAT No. 826 6488). Photos with adhesive substances can be cleaned or alternatively scanned with the KODAK A3 or A4 Flatbed Accessory to prevent adhesives from gathering in the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanner.

Yes, all of these settings for the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System can be configured using the Scan Validation Tool (SVT) to modify the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanner profile and/or by modifying the printscan.ini file. Refer to the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System User Guide and the printscan.ini file for more information.

Yes, the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System software includes an application for one-touch document scanning called Smart Touch. Smart Touch is a button application found in the system tray that supports Perfect Page Scanning and iThresholding, among other features.

If you do use the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System for document batch scanning, it is suggested that you install the pre-separation pad. Refer to the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanning System User Guide (“Replacing the pre-separation pad”) for installation instructions.

For the best scanning results it is suggested that you frequently perform a quick cleaning sequence in between your routine, thorough cleaning procedures. To do a quick cleaning of the KODAK s1220 Photo Scanner:

1. Open the scanner cover and look at the imaging area for any noticeable dust particles.
2. Wipe the imaging area with a microfiber cloth (provided with the Brillianize Detailer Wipes; CAT No. 826 6488) to remove any loose dust particles.
3. After wiping the upper and lower imaging area, re-inspect for any visible dust particles.
4. Close the scanner cover and evaluate the subsequent scans. If lines or other problems remain, it may be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning. You can:
   • Wipe the upper and lower imaging area with Brillianize Detailer Wipes. These wipes provide an excellent, alcohol-free cleaning process. This two-step process includes a wet de-static wipe and a dry silicon-based polish that leaves the scanner with a clean, clear, antistatic finish.
   • Clean all the transport rollers with KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Roller Cleaning Pads; CAT No. 853 5981.
   • Run a KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Transport Cleaning Sheet; CAT No. 169 0783 through the scanner to pick up loose dust particles, especially on the rollers. Depending on how dirty the scanner is, these sheets can be used several times. Discard the cleaning sheet when it is very dirty.
