1 Introduction

The Kodak s1700 Operating System Software controls the Kodak

s1740 Capture System and provides the following features:

• An easy to use interface allows you to easily access the tools you

need via icons, toolbars and pull-down menus.

• Captures the information that enables automatic post-sorting into 2,

6, 8 or 12 pockets based on smart imaging.

• For document completeness, easy separation and tracking, you can

encode MICR data on documents. With the barcode encoding option,

you can imprint the same barcode (up to three barcodes in one run),

on every page of a document to keep pages from the same file

together.

• For electronic distribution or archiving you can define tags to facilitate

the sharing of data and choose the image format (JPEG or TIF) that

best meets your needs.

• Specify up to six different images (color, grayscale and black and

white; both front and back) in one pass.

• Statistical information is easy accessed on the documents

processed.

System requirements See the Installation Planning Guide, A-61595 for software and

hardware requirements.
