2 Best Practices 
This chapter provides you with recommendations for program 
logic, which will allow you to interact efficiently with the i800 
Scanner. This high-level information is not intended to be used 
as a coding guide. The following information is provided in this 
chapter: 
• 
Basic image capture 
• 
Controlling image transfer order – switching between 
color/grayscale and bi-tonal 
• 
Jam recovery 
• 
Image file storage locations 
• 
Bar code recognition 
• 
Starting image addresses  
• 
Controlling print strings 
• 
Electronic Color Dropout (form design, drop-out colors) 
• 
Available image header information and its uses  
• 
Zone processing (recombining images, especially for viewing) 
• 
Programmable keys 
• 
Patch reading 
• 
Batching 
NOTE: The term host in the sections that follow refers to either the 
driver or application depending on code logic. 
Basic image capture 
Basic image capture is the high-level logic flow for retrieving images 
from the scanner. 
Follow this sequence to scan documents: set up the scanner, 
enable scanning, initiate polling, feed documents and disable
