The Patch Reader allows you to automatically increment the image 
address or initiate a special function. Patch sheets are placed in front of 
each document during document preparation or on the lead sheet of a 
document. 

There are 5 possible patch head positions. The patch head position can 
be easily changed. Recognition of all patch types will be returned in the 
image header. This is in addition to document level information. 

See Kodak publication A-61599, Patch Code Information, for complete 
information. 

Patch Types 1, 4 and 6 



 these patch types can be used by the host for 

post-scan image control (they are not used for image addressing). For 
example, use these patch types for changing between bi-tonal and color 
imaging or workflow control. 

IMPORTANT:  Do not use these illustrated patches for production – they 

are not to spec. 



 the Toggle patch is a Type 4 patch that is used to trigger 

the scanner to switch from the current image stream (bi-tonal) to the 
alternative image stream (color).
