Using the High-Resolution Printer Accessory /
for Kodak i1800 Series Scanners
This guide provides instructions for using the High-Resolution Printer
Accessory / for the Kodak i1800 Series Scanners.
The High-Resolution Printer Accessory provides an effective way to
apply information to the scanned document and use document
management systems such as batching and time-stamping. It also
provides a print capability that is programmed to support alphanumeric
characters as defined by the application software. All print information
is captured in a document header record. All printer controls and
functions are accessible via the ISIS Driver and TWAIN Datasource.
Some features of the High-Resolution Printer Accessory are:
• Prints up to 40 characters per page, front pre-scan only
• Improved print quality
• A choice of red or black printer cartridges
• Auto purge
• Adjustable print contrast (via font selection: 50% Normal; 100% Bold)
Printed information
The information printed by the High-Resolution Printer Accessory is
defined by the application software. Up to 40 characters per document
can be printed. Printed information can include:
• Document image address
• Date
• Time
• Document sequential counter
• Custom message text
The same information may be printed on documents of all levels, or
different information may be printed on documents of different levels.
The orientation/rotation, format and style/font can all be selected.
Orientation/Rotation — you can select the orientation of the print
string. Options are 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
Style/Font — the Contrast of the print string can be adjusted. You can
select Normal (50%) or Bold/Large (100%).

Configuring your
print string
Configuring your High-Resolution Printer is done via the TWAIN
Datasource or ISIS Driver. Detailed procedures for configuring print
strings can be found in the Image Processing Guide for Kodak i1800
Series Scanners, A-61580.
NOTE: When using the High-Resolution Printer in a scanner with image
address and patch reading enabled, all patches must be within
2.5 inches of the lead edge.
When using the High-Resolution Printer, you must decide whether to
use single- or multi-character printing.
If your application software uses the TWAIN Datasource, access the
Printer tab to define single- or multi-character printing.
Format — select either Normal (single-character) or Block (multi-
character) format.

Changing the vertical The Print Test function allows you to print a “ladder” target where each
vertical line is printed by one of the jets in the print head. If a line is
missing, one of the jets is not working. Dabbing the print head with a
Staticide wipe will often open clogged jets.

Omit printing on
more than one
document
The Disable Print function allows you to temporarily disable printing on
all documents in a batch. This may be useful if rescanning a stack of
documents that have already been printed.
The Disable Print function is only available after the scanner is enabled
(scanning started from the host PC). If you want to disable printing for
the first document in the batch, then your host software should be set
up to NOT automatically start scanning.
The Disable Print button is only available if printing has been enabled
by the scanning application. Once Disable Print is turned on, no
documents will be printed on until one of the following occurs:
• Disable Print is turned off, or
• the scanner is disabled because there are no more documents to
scan (End Job) or a multifeed occurs and the scanner is set up via
the Stop Scanning option on jam.

Scanner auto purging In order to maintain ink flow and prevent cartridges from drying out, the
scanner will automatically purge the printer cartridge. Purging is a
process that forces a small amount of ink out of the print head. This ink
is deposited in the ink trays or when documents are going through the
transport, each document that gets printed on will have a purge bar.
Purge bar
If you are not printing frequently enough, purging will occur on a
predetermined time interval. When the scanner determines that a purge
is required and no paper is going through the transport, it will purge into
the ink tray at the set interval.
When no documents are in the transport, the scanner will periodically
auto purge for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes the following message will be
displayed on the touchscreen, Remove printer cartridge.
• If you are finished using the High-Resolution Printer, remove the
printer cartridge and place it in the maintenance station.
Printer cartridge care For best results, follow these printer cartridge guidelines:
• Keep printer cartridges sealed in the original package until they are
needed.
• Store the printer cartridges in an upright position.
• Do not remove protective tape until you are ready to install a new
cartridge. Do not reapply the tape after it has been removed.
• Store the printer cartridges at room temperature (60 to 78°F).
• After removing the protective tape, avoid touching the print head
nozzle.
• Store the printer cartridge in the maintenance station when you are
not printing.

Cleaning the print
head
The print head is the part of the printer cartridge which dispenses ink to
the document. If the “Printer Cartridge Care” guidelines are not
followed, ink can dry on the print head which could cause poor print
quality.
Cleaning the print head may remove the dried ink and improve print
quality. If cleaning does not produce satisfactory results, replace the
printer cartridge.
To clean the print head:
1. Remove the printer cartridge from the carrier.
2. Hold the printer cartridge with the print head facing down.
3. Using a damp swab, dab (do not wipe) the print head. Continue to
dab at the print head until a small amount of ink is transferred to the
swab. Do not apply excessive force as it could scratch the nozzle
area.
NOTE: If ink does not get transferred to the swab, replace the printer
cartridge.
IMPORTANT: To avoid getting ink on your hands and clothing, use the
recommended printing supplies.
