The film adapter unit FAU-S11 is an optional device for CanoScan FB1210U to provide the
light source for scanning films.
When the appropriate light source projects through a film and the host computer program
controls the scanning unit moving, charge-coupled-device (CCD) collects all the light signals of
the film and synchronically generates the real analog signals. The main PCB then converts the
analog signal into digital signal. Finally, scanner driver transforms the digital signal into an
image and saves it in the host computer.
Electrical control of the FAU is perfromed by the main PCB in the scanner. Inverter PCB
performs various processing in the FAU according to the control signal sent from the main
PCB.
FAU lamp ON depends on the device selection by the host computer. When the scanner is
powered ON, the scanning lamp is turned ON. When FAU is selected by the host computer as
a TWAIN or Plug-in Module compliant input device and application software is started, the FAU
lamp is turned ON and the scanning lamp is turned OFF.
