ASCII is a set of 256 codes (numbered 0 to 255) used to communi- cate information between a computer and another device such as a scanner. Backside reading = Back-side scanning Refers to reading the backside of the document, specifically in Duplex reading mode.
Page 167: Double Feed Detection
Technique for producing halftone images by representing the entire grayscale with only two pixel levels, black and white. Double feed detection A scanner function which detects the accidental feeding of multiple sheets by the ADF unit. Can be turned on or off by the operator. Double Letter Size A standard paper size used in the U.S.A.
Page 168 Equipment Error An error that cannot be corrected by the operator. Call CE. Error diffusion High-quality halftone (pseudo-grayscale) image production based on black-and-white pixel binarization. A pixel’s optical density and that of adjacent pixels are summed, with black pixels relocated in their order of density as they relate to adjacent pixels.
Page 169: Image Emphasis
The connection that allows communication from one part of a sys- tem to another. For example, electrical signals are transferred between the computer and scanner over an interface cable. Inversion (Reverse-image reading) In reverse-image reading, data is changed from black to white and vice versa.
Page 170: Mirror Image
IRAS Initialization of the hardware. Landscape orientation 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. Linedrawing mode Selecting linedrawing mode makes threshold and contrast settings effective but prevents brightness from being set.
