GLOSSARY OF TERMS A4 size A standard paper size used in Japan and other countries. Paper size is 210 x 297 mm (8.25 x 11.6 inches). ASCII The acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. ASCII is a set of 128 codes (numbered 0 to 127) used to communicate information between a computer and another device such as scanner. Automatic separation The image processing method to detect the difference between text and photos and choose the threshold accordingly.
Dither Technique for producing halftone images representing grayscale by using a pattern of the two pixel levels black and white. dpi Dots per inch. Drop-out color A color which is used to illuminate the document but does not appear in the read image. Duplex reading mode Both sides of the document are read in this mode. Endorser The unit for printing characters before or after scanning. These character may be used for collation of the documents and the image data.
Front-side reading = Front-side scanning Refers to reading the front-side of the document, specifically in Duplex reading mode. Halftone processing Used to reproduce photographs which usually contain different shades to display images. These shades are composed of dots resulting in a binary image. Dithering and error diffusion processing are examples of the halftone processing. Hexadecimal A base-16 numbering system (also commonly referred to as hex numbers).
IRAS Initialization of the hardware. Landscape A document is transported and read with the long side horizontal to the moving direction. Letter size A standard paper size used in the U.S.A. and other countries. Paper size is 8-1/2 x 11 inches (215.9 x 279.4 mm). Linedrawing mode Selecting linedrawing mode makes threshold and contrast settings effective but prevents brightness from being set. The specified threshold value determines whether black or white pixels are scanned.
Paper Jam A warning informing the user that document is jammed in the transport unit, or that transportation is disabled because the transport unit is slippery. This warning also appears when a double fed is detected. Photograph mode (White level follower OFF) Selecting photograph mode makes brightness and contrast settings effective but prevents the threshold from being set.
SCSI-ID Used to specify a particular SCSI device when the initiator selects a target or the target re-connects to the initiator. Serial interface A standard computer interface. Information is transferred between devices over a single wire (although other wires are used for control). With a serial interface, an interface cable greater than 3 meters (10 feet) can be used. This is often necessary in networking environments, where the scanner may be shared.
