Electronic color 
dropout 
The i800 Series Scanners provide the ability to create dropout images 
without changing lamps. The application has the ability to select red, 
green and blue dropout functionality. Only one color can be dropped 
out at a time. This dropout performance is equivalent to color dropout 
functionality when using the traditional color lamp technique. 
Electronic color dropout is used with OCR and ICR applications. 
See your vendor’s documentation for recommendations on 
image quality characteristics. 
Electronic color dropout is applied to bi-tonal image chain only. 
There are four imaging parameters, which effect electronic color 
dropout: Threshold Value/Filter Threshold, Background 
Value/Background, Contrast %, and Threshold.  
The tables that follow provide Pantone colors that may be used 
with the red, green and blue dropout option.
