What is the With Electronic Microimager Software, a scanner captures the source
Electronic documents and creates images. Image processing automatically
Microimager compensates for variations in document contrast and density. Kodak
Capture Software can be used to edit, enhance, group, and index
Software? images before committing them to 16 mm Kodak Reference Archive
Media. The result is logically organized film that is virtually perfect, with
uniform density, cropped, right-reading pages and accurate image
marks.
Kodak Capture Software is integrated with a document scanner.
Capture Software provides many image processing features as well as
a range of batch output formats for compatibility with imaging and
document management systems.
• Step 1 — set up your Writer and media format by using Kodak
Capture Software and Electronic Microimager Software, or if you
want to set up the Writer and media template outside of Capture
Software you can use Electronic Microimager Administration.
• Step 2 — Scan and edit your images via Capture Software. When
your batch is ready for processing, click the Capture Software
Process button and select a roll of media for your batch. You may
select a new roll or partial roll. Electronic Microimager Software will
automatically keep track of how much media you are using and let
you know when you have batched a full roll.
• Step 3 — When you are ready to send a roll to the Writer, use the
Write Controller to process the batches and send them to the Writer.
