Terminator therefore must be attached to provide those terminal cir- cits. Third Party Interface Used to install optional board provided by Fujitsu or interface board manufactured by a third party. Threshold A value used as a metric for judging a color as black or white. For scanning an image with gray gradation, this value must be defined.
TWAIN (Technology Without Any Interesting Name) A standard for API (Application Program Interface) or protocol for imaging devices (scan- ners, digital cameras, etc.) developed by TWAIN Working Group. In order to use devices that comply with this standard, it is necessary to install driver software based on the same standard.
