ASCII is a set of 128 codes (numbered 0 to 127) used to communicate information between a computer and another device such as scanner.
Dither Technique for producing halftone images representing the entire grayscale using two pixel levels black and white. 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.
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.
