Preface
About this Document
This document is part of the set of user manuals provided with the AFHCAN Cart. These user manuals, covering various topics, are normally assembled into a binder delivered with each Cart. This modular design has the following advantages:
• the set of manuals provided with your cart includes documents for the specific peripheral
devices installed
• each document is a stand-alone publication; as new devices or features are added to the
Cart, new manuals can be added to the existing binder
• user information that is common to all items of equipment does not need to be repeated in
each module, but can be covered in separate modules and referenced as needed
Related Documents
This document assumes you have read the introductory hardware and software manuals included in this binder.
The original manuals provided with the equipment were included in a set of materials delivered with the AFHCAN Cart. Those manuals can be used to supplement the information provided in this document. Be aware, however, that items installed on an AFHCAN Cart may have been modified slightly, so the features as described in the original product manuals may not apply.
For More Information
This document describes the equipment to a level of detail that will meet most user's needs in the context of clinical use of the AFHCAN Cart. For more information, contact AFHCAN Customer Support:

Section 1 – Introduction
1.1 Introduction to the Scanner
This manual describes the features and operation of the scanner as installed on an AFHCAN Cart. Four scanner models are covered (see Figure 1):
• Epson Perfection Model 1640
• Epson Perfection Model 1650
• Epson Perfection Model 4490
• Epson Perfection Model 4990

Four scanner models
Models 1640 and 1650 were part of the original deployment of AFHCAN Carts. These models work well in the AFHCAN installation, but are no longer being manufactured. Model 4490 is standard for new installations, or may be selected as a replacement for the previous models. Model 4990 is an option that can be ordered in place of the 4490, and allows for 8-inch by
1
10-inch transparencies such as x-rays to be scanned. In general, the AFHCAN software functions the same for all the scanners that have been
deployed with the AFHCAN Cart. There is no significant difference in the basic operating sequences. However, with the newer scanners, the appearance of certain screens may vary slightly from the illustrations shown in this manual.
1
Scanning of transparencies requires the use of manual mode, which is an advanced scanning feature.
Information on manual mode will be provided separately. Consult the Epson documentation for details.

The scanners have a variety of buttons on their front panels. None of these buttons interact with the AFHCAN software, so they are not described here. Model 1650 does not have a power switch, but the other three models do. As installed on the AFHCAN Cart, the scanner power switch is not readily accessible. It is the standard practice on the AFHCAN installation to leave the scanner power button on at all times and to control power to the scanner via the Cart’s main power switch. This power distribution strategy applies to most other devices on the Cart. For exceptions, refer to device-specific modules in this binder for details.
1.1.1 Functional Description
The scanner is used to scan paper documents, photographs, or other items into a case. The AFHCAN software activates a TWAIN driver, which is software that comes with the scanner. The TWAIN driver controls the operation of the scanner.
The AFHCAN software and the TWAIN driver interact differently depending on which scan mode is selected. The AFHCAN software offers two scan modes:
• black and white (
• color (
Scan Color button)
In black and white mode (
Scan button)
Scan mode), the AFHCAN software directs the TWAIN driver to scan
in black and white. Each pixel is forced to be either white or black (in other words, shades of gray are lost). This is useful when scanning black and white forms or other documents where high contrast is a plus. The downside is that if there are items which are lightly shaded, those items may be dropped, and the overall image resolution may appear to be diminished. In mode, a small window appears indicating that a scan is underway.
Scan mode saves files in a
Scan
PNG image format.
Scan Color mode, the TWAIN software performs the following steps:
In the
• previews the image to determine the type of image, image area, and image characteristics
• automatically adjusts the image resolution, size, and other attributes
2
• scans the image and saves it in a JPG image file format
• sends the image file to the AFHCAN software for inclusion in a case
When running on a Cart, the software resets the TWAIN driver to factory defaults each time the AFHCAN software is started. This places the TWAIN driver in automatic mode.
Note: When the software is running on a PC workstation, the reset does not take place, which means the TWAIN driver will open in the same mode and with the same settings that were in effect when the software was last used.
In automatic mode, the preview is analyzed to determine the type of image, the image area, and any optimal settings. The TWAIN software distinguishes the types of images listed in Table 1.
2
The term TWAIN refers to software that fits between the user application and a device (scanner, camera, etc.) TWAIN drivers make it easier to standardize the integration and control of various devices on a computer system. For more information on TWAIN, go to www.twain.org.

Image types, characteristics, and resolution
Default
Image Type Description1
color photo high resolution, color image 300 dpi
black & white photo high resolution, black and white image 300 dpi
illustration drawing with halftone components 150 dpi
text/line art mostly text with simple line art 300 dpi
color document color words and images (printed, not photo) 150 dpi
black & white document black & white words and images (printed, not photo) 150 dpi
Note 1: The exact criteria by which automatic mode categorizes items is difficult to determine. The descriptions shown here are based on tests with the Model 1650 scanner. In some cases, the image preview assigned an image type other than what was expected. However, we found that automatic mode always produced reasonably good scans.
Resolution
During the preview, it is possible to interrupt the automatic scan and activate the TWAIN driver's manual mode. Manual mode allows the user to manually control a number of image attributes such as resolution, color balance, and image area. The use of manual mode is not recommended for most AFHCAN installations.
Note: The settings in manual mode are complex and are beyond the scope of this manual (refer to the Epson documentation for details). For those not familiar with advanced scanning features, manual mode can cause a lot of confusion, and can lead to technical difficulties or poor quality scans. Furthermore, some combinations of manual settings can generate huge files and may lead to system freeze-up.
Please be aware that the last scanner mode used becomes the default mode for the next session. If someone goes into manual mode and does not set it back to automatic mode, the next person to use the scanner will encounter the screen for manual mode. Software running on an AFHCAN Cart will reset the TWAIN driver to automatic mode each time the software is restarted.
On completion of the scan, the TWAIN driver saves the file and notifies the AFHCAN software that a scanned file has been saved. If for some reason the TWAIN driver cannot complete the scan, the AFHCAN software will display a Scan Failed message.
There are several situations that can cause a Scan Failed message to appear in the AFHCAN software. Some of the more obvious ones are the following:
• the scan was canceled in the TWAIN driver window
• scanner power switch is turned off or the scanner power cable is disconnected
• scanner data cable is disconnected
