1 Introduction

The Kodak t6000 Software is a set of client/server software products

that enable companies to transmit images of checks as soon as they

are scanned to the appropriate financial institution for digital processing

and settlement. This enables money to be moved the same day, which

generally speeds cash flow. In addition this software provides

operational efficiencies, greater security and accuracy, less labor and

reduced costs and time because checks no longer have to be

physically transported for processing.

This User’s Guide will provide information and procedures for:

• Logging into and exiting the Kodak t6000 Client Software

• Capturing images of checks received using the Kodak t6000 Client

Software and Kodak i6030 Check Scanner

• Correcting item data after capture, if necessary

• Balancing the deposit or the payment

• Electronically transmitting deposit or payment balances to the bank

or third-party clearing house

• Ending the processing day

• Creating processing reports

• Researching captured items

Starting the software To start the Kodak t6000 Client Software:

1. Double-click on the Kodak t6000 Client Software icon.

2. Type the login name assigned to you in the Login field and press

Tab.

3. Enter your password and press Enter.

NOTE: If your security configuration contains more than one domain,

you may also see a Domain field. If the Domain field is

displayed, select the correct domain from the drop-down list.

Whether you are capturing deposits or payments the windows that you

access are the same with the exception of the title of the window.

For the purpose of this manual, this section describes the “capture

Lockbox Payment window.

Releasing unbalanced

transactions

Depending upon the setup of your system, you may have the ability to

release transactions that are not balanced to the central site.

Correcting unbalanced

transactions

Situations may occur during processing that could cause the

transaction to be out of balance. Some reasons for this are:

• a check amount was read or keyed incorrectly

• checks were double-fed during the scanning process

• the initial amount of the deposit/payment was entered incorrectly

Your application may be configured to allow you to release unbalanced

transactions. However, if you must balance before release, follow the

steps below:

1. When you reach the last check in the transaction and press Enter, a

message box will be displayed showing you the amount entered

and the scanned amount.

2. Select which amount is correct, either Entered Amount or

Scanned Amount.

Scanned Amount is Correct

Scan Deposits/Scan Payments dialog box will be displayed:

2. Enter the correct amount in the Enter Deposit Amount field.

3. Click Begin Capture. The main viewing window will be redisplayed

so you can complete the transaction.

Entered Amount is Correct

If the entered amount is correct, click Entered Amount and the main

viewing window will be displayed.

1. Edit any of the check amounts and press Enter, or scan any missed

or double-fed checks.

The message Deposit amount XX has been accepted will be

displayed.

2. Click OK.

A-61543 December 2005 13

The Zoom function Occasionally you may encounter a check that does not scan well. You

can:

• use the AutoClean button and rescan the item to see if you can

obtain a clearer image or,

• use the Darker or Lighter buttons to change the resolution and then

rescan the item to obtain a clearer image.

After you have obtained the clearest image possible, if you cannot read

the check amount, you can zoom in on a specific area of the image.

• Hold down the left mouse button and drag a rectangle around the

area of the image you want to enlarge and release the mouse button.

The image area of the screen is filled with the enlarged portion of the

image.

NOTE: To return the image to its original size, double-click the image.

14 A-61543 December 2005

Image quality issues for

transactions

As you capture both deposit and payment transactions, it is very

important to capture clear images of the items you are scanning. The

images you create may be used in the future to verify the amount of an

item or payment, so the legibility of the item is key to the success of

remote capture.

Always look at each image to make certain it is readable as you capture

transactions. The image quality safeguard of the Kodak t6000 Client

Software can assist you in maintaining the image quality of your

payment or deposit checks.

The Kodak t6000 Client Software can be configured to check for a

variety of image quality conditions such as items that are too dark or too

light, clipped corners and torn items, etc. The examples below display

poor image quality:

When the software detects a poor quality image, the following message

is displayed:

When this message is displayed, review the image and the physical

item and decide if you need to rescan the item to capture a better

quality, delete the item from the transaction or keep the poor quality

image and continue.

• If you keep the image, click Rescan and rescan the item to try and

capture a better quality image.

• If you want to delete the image and remove it from the transaction,

click Delete.

• If you want keep the poor quality image, click Continue Anyway.

Duplicate item checking

for transactions

The Kodak t6000 Client Software helps you maintain the integrity of

your deposit and payment transactions by automatically checking for

duplicate items as you are capturing items. This feature reviews

specific criteria as it looks for duplicate items across transactions,

batches and dates. Duplicate checking can help protect you from

fraudulent practices and from accidentally including the same item in

multiple transactions.

When the duplicate checking feature detects an item that matches a

previously processed item, a window will be displayed with both images

and descriptions and the message, Is this a duplicate item? will be

displayed.

1. Compare the current item (the image at the top and the description

at the right) to the possible match (the image on the bottom and the

description at the right) and decide if the item is a duplicate.

2. Click Yes if the item is a duplicate and it will be removed from the

transaction or, click No, if the item is not a duplicate. This item will

remain in the transaction and be flagged for review at the central

site.

16 A-61543 December 2005

Deferring

transactions

A deferred transaction is a deposit or payment in which all of the checks

were not scanned when you initially began to process the transaction.

Deferring a transaction allows you to save what you have captured so

far and come back to it later to finish the processing.

1. From the Capture Deposit/Payment window, click Defer. The

message, Enter the estimated number of documents remaining,

will be displayed.

2. Enter the approximate number of documents and click OK. You can

estimate the number of checks in a bundle. It does not have to be

exact.

3. When you are ready to process the deferred deposit/payment,

access the Capture Deposits/Capture Payments dialog box:

4. Click Continue Deferred. The Deferred Transactions window will

be displayed. Any deposits/payments that were deferred, but not yet

processed will be listed.

A-61543 December 2005 17

Seq # — the number of the deposit/payment in the order it was

captured.

checks for deposit or payment from the Scan Deposits/Scan Payments

dialog box.

Amount — displays the total amount of the deferred transaction.

# Items — the number of checks scanned in the batch.

# Remaining — the number of additional checks to be scanned.

an amount associated with them.

• Partial entry/high speed: you are in “Keying” mode and some items

have an amount associated with them.

• Partial high speed captured: you are in “Scanning” mode and some

items have been scanned already.

• Partial slow speed processed: you are in “Scanning” mode and

some items have been scanned and have an amount.

• Processing - User name: currently processing.

Lockbox Payments) which allows you to scan the remaining number of

checks.

Refresh List — refreshes and redisplays the information in the

Deferred Transactions window with the most current information.

Show Credit Ticket — the Credit Ticket Preview window will be

displayed showing the deposit or payment ticket associated with the

select deferred transaction.

Close — closes the Deferred Transactions window.

Processing deferred

deposits

1. Double-click a deposit to open it. The main viewing window will be

displayed.

window and select another deferred transaction for processing.
