Dither patterns are unique to each scanner, so there is no predefined set of tag choices. You should get the valid choices before attempting to set this tag. The first choice represents no dithering and is usually called None.

Note:

Some scanners have different dithering options depending on the color format of the image. Many scanners support dithering of only binary images. Therefore, the values of the following tags might affect the dithering choices that are available:

0x16F2 (5874)

TAG_ENDORSER_COUNTER_INDEX

Integer

Specifies which endorser or imprinter counter to increment. For imprinters that support multiple counters, this tag is the 0-based index for accessing the counter tags for each counter. This tag only controls multiple counters within the same imprinter. Counters on different imprinters are indexed by TAG_ENDORSER_INDEX.

The currently-selected imprinter should be enabled before setting this tag. The imprinter should be configured to print the incrementing counter by using the proper token in TAG_ENDORSER_STRING.

As an index tag, this tag can change the current value for any other counter-specific tag, including TAG_ENDORSER_COUNTERDIGITS, TAG_ENDORSER_INCSTART, and TAG_ENDORSER_INCSTEP.

0x152C (5420)

TAG_ENDORSER_COUNTERDIGITS

Integer

The number of digits of the incrementing counter to print. The high-order digits are truncated if necessary.

If the counter has fewer digits than specified, then the behavior depends on the selected counter format. For example, some formats will pad with 0’s or spaces.

The currently-selected imprinter should be enabled before setting this tag. The imprinter should be configured to print the incrementing counter by using the proper token in TAG_ENDORSER_STRING.

This tag is indexed from TAG_ENDORSER_COUNTER_INDEX.

0x16FB (5883)

TAG_ENDORSER_DATE_SEPARATOR

String

The separator to be used when printing the special date codes. Some scanners support changing the separator value, while others do not.

TAG_ENDORSER_INCSTART

Integer

The starting value for the imprinter incrementing counter.

This tag is automatically updated at the end of the batch with the next number to be printed.

The currently-selected imprinter should be enabled before setting this tag. The imprinter should be configured to print the incrementing counter by using the proper token in TAG_ENDORSER_STRING.

This tag is indexed from TAG_ENDORSER_COUNTER_INDEX.

0x1066 (4198)

TAG_ENDORSER_INCSTEP

Integer

The increment value for the imprinter incrementing counter. For each page the counter will be increased by this value.

This tag is indexed from TAG_ENDORSER_COUNTER_INDEX.

0x16F1 (5873)

TAG_ENDORSER_INDEX

Integer

The 0-based index value of the imprinter to configure. The values of the other imprinter tags depend on which imprinter is selected.

Imprinters are not indexed in any particular order, so your application should look at the values of other tags to determine which imprinter is selected.

0x1067 (4199)

TAG_ENDORSER_ORIENTATION

Integer

The orientation of the printed text relative to the leading edge of the page.

For the list of possible values, refer to ImGearIsisOrientation.

0x0583 (1411)

TAG_ENDORSER_STRING

String

The imprinter string.

Special token codes can be used to describe dynamic data such as the date, the time, or an incrementing counter.

The values acceptable to an endorser are specific to the scanner. Various scanners support different characters and string lengths, and might support other tags that control endorsement position, orientation, size, and so forth.

For legacy support, setting this tag to an empty string turns off the imprinter, and setting this tag to a non-empty string turns on the imprinter. However, you should not rely on this behavior. Always enable or disable the imprinter with TAG_ENDORSER_PRINTTYPE.

0x16F3 (5875)

TAG_SPP_LBS

String

Enables you to retrieve the valid choices for the number of samples per pixel for a list box control. It should be used in conjunction with TAG_BPS_LBS and TAG_PHOTO_LBS to give the user total control over color format. If separate control is not desired, you should use TAG_COLORFMTS_LBS instead.

The value of this tag has no specific meaning. You simply get the value in order to retrieve the list of available choices.

TAG_STRIPBYTECOUNTS

Integer

The number of bytes in a particular strip of a stripped image after compression (if any). This is a read-only tag.

The value is an array of integers, each representing the number of bytes in a particular strip. An image with PlanarConfiguration = 1 has one value for each strip. An image with PlanarConfiguration <> 1 has (SamplesPerPixel * StripsPerImage) values.

0x0111 (273)

TAG_STRIPOFFSETS

Integer

The byte offset of each strip of a stripped image.

The value is array of integers, each representing the byte offset from the beginning of the file. Note that this implies that each strip has a location independent of the location of other strips. An image with PlanarConfiguration = 1 has one value for each strip. An image with PlanarConfiguration <> 1 has (SamplesPerPixel * StripsPerImage) values.

This TIFF-required field is the only way for a reader to find the image data (unless the TIFF-specific tag TAG_TILEOFFSETS is used).

TAG_TRCMAP8

Integer

A mapping of 8-bit input levels to 8-bit output levels.

0x0700 (1792)

TAG_USERn

(where n is a number between 0 and 99, inclusive)

Driver-Defined

Custom tags specific to the driver.

0x011E (286)

TAG_XPOSITION

Rational

The distance in pixels from the left edge of the page to the start of the image.

Note: The value of this tag will be affected by setting the value of either TAG_DATAORIENTATION or TAG_SCANORIENTATION.

0x011A (282)

TAG_XRESOLUTION

Rational

The number of pixels in each unit specified by TAG_RESUNIT when measured horizontally.

0x0513 (1299)

TAG_YIELDPROC

Integer

A pointer to a procedure to be called during printing.

0x011F (287)

TAG_YPOSITION

Rational

The distance in pixels from the top edge of the page to the start of the image.

Note: The value of this tag will be affected by setting the value of either TAG_DATAORIENTATION or TAG_SCANORIENTATION.

0x011B (283)

TAG_YRESOLUTION

Rational

The number of pixels in each unit specified by TAG_RESUNIT when measured vertically.
