You can use the Settings function in setup mode to modify scanning parameters (scanning mode, paper size/orientation, density, resolution, and halftone processing) for scanning documents. LCD display Test items Remarks Offline Feed Test START and SETUP START: begins the test. SETUP: changes settings of scanning parameters.
7. Press ENTER . The PAPER SIZE screen appears with the current setting A4P blinking (blinking indicates “changeable”). PAPER SIZE A4P 8. Press or . The displayed parameter changes (LTP, B5P, A5P, A4L, etc.). PAPER SIZE LTP 9. When the desired parameter appears, press ENTER to save the change. The parameter set screen appears with the new parameter blinking. 10.
Options This function displays the options installed in the scanner. LCD display Displayed options Remarks Options Endorser, IPC-3D Endorser: printer that prints back side of documents. IPC-3D: image processing feature (standard installation). * When an option is installed, ON is displayed under the option. When an option is not installed, OFF is displayed under the option. The following is an example when you use this function. 1. 2. 3. 4. 6-52 In the <> initial screen, press ENTER .
Device life This function displays the accumulative number of sheets fed and the accumulative number of hours during which the lamp is lit since the scanner has been installed. These values are helpful for estimating the life of devices. LCD display Displayed devices Remarks Device Life COUNT, LAMP F, and LAMP B COUNT: accumulative number of sheets fed. LAMP F: accumulative number of operating hours for the front-side lamp. LAMP B. accumulative number of operating hours for the back-side lamp.
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 the entire grayscale using two pixel levels black and white. dpi Dots per inch. Drop-out color A color which is used to 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 vertical 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.
RS-232C interface A type of serial interface. See Serial interface. 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.
Terminator Devices with SCSI interface are daisy-chained. A resistor that includes terminal circuits needs to be placed at both ends of a cable when devices are daisy-chained. Test mode The mode in which users can test the scanner in offline status.
