(13.9 to 34 lb), 127g/m2 (34lb) for A8

Precautions

The following documents may be difficult to read properly by ADF. A preliminary document feed test may
be necessary to avoid unexpected errors. If document slip or jam in the ADF (JAM error) or double feed
occurs frequently, read the documents manually by flatbed.

• Paper with clips or staples.

• Paper with wet ink.

• Paper of which thickness is not constantly equal. (like envelope)

• Paper with large rumples or curls. (See NOTE on the next page.)

• Paper with folds or tears.

• Tracing paper.

• Coated paper (for example, some paper used for color printing).

• Carbon paper.

• Paper smaller than A8 (Portrait) size, or larger than A3 or Double Letter.

• Materials other than paper (for example, clothes, metal foil, or OHP film).

• Photographic paper.

• Paper with notches on its side.

• Non-rectangular paper.

• Very thin paper.

CAUTION

As there is always an off chance a document may be damaged using the
ADF, important original documents should never be fed through the ADF.
Instead, read manually in flatbed mode.

NOTICE

When scanning a translucent document, set the density to light mode.

NOTICE

Carbonless papers have a chemical composition that damages the Pad and Pick roller. Therefore, note
the following:

Cleaning: If miss pick occur frequently, clean the Pad and Pick roller in accordance with the

“Cleaning and Maintenance” manual.

Replacement of parts: The life of the Pad and Pick roller may be shorter than if PPC paper documents

are fed.

NOTICE

• The leading edge of all documents fed by ADF should be straightened so the curl of the paper
meets the specifications shown below:

between line mode and half tone mode in one pass.

Automatic start mode (<-> manual start mode)

In this mode, the reading operation is activated only by issuing the the START command.

Backside reading = Back-side scanning

Refers to reading the backside of the document, specifically in Duplex reading mode.

GL-1

Bit

The smallest unit of information in computer memory. A bit is a single digit, either a 1 or a 0, in the binary
numbering system. Eight bits equal one byte.

Density

In this manual, refers to a measurement of the depth of the display.

Dither

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. and othe countries. Paper size is 11 x 17 inches.

dpi

Dots per inch.

Dropout color

A color which is used in the document but does not appear in the read image.

Duplex reading mode

A reading mode in which both sides of the document are read.

Equipment Error

An error that cannot be corrected by the operator. Call CE.

GL-2

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.
The purpose of this technique is to minimize the average error between read and printed densities.
Density data for adjacent pixels is modified by diffusing errors on the objective pixel into several pixels,
which are then binarized. This maintains high grayscale levels and resolution during reading, while
suppressing more patterns by dotted halftone images such as newspaper photographs.

FB

In this manual, FB means flat bed.

Filtering

A correction method that improves the read quality of handwritten documents. The read quality of images
written in pencil or ball-pointed pen depends on the reflective light characteristics of the specific ink or lead
used. Dropped pixels may produce outlines, gaps, or thin, barely connected lines due to uneven optical
density. Filtering detects areas lighter than their surroundings and increases their density to improve
image clarity.

Front-side reading = Front-side scanning

Refers to reading the front side of the document, specifically in Duplex reading mode.

Halftone processing

Any method used to reproduce a photograph which includes a shade as an image composed of dots,
namely, a binary image. Dithering and error diffusion processing are examples of halftone processing.

Hexadecimal

A base-16 numbering system (also commonly referred to as hex numbers). Since a base-16 system
requires 16 digits, numbers 0 through 9 and letters A through F are used. It is convenient to express binary
numbers in hexadecimal because fewer digits are required.

Image emphasis

Density is decreased for lighter but not completely white areas adjacent to black areas. Weakening this
emphasis eliminates spot noise or produces softened images.

GL-3

Image processing

An image is read with specified parameters.

Interface

The connection that allows communication from one part of a system 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.

IPC preset mode

While reading binary images, it is necessary to set the scanner according to the quality of the sheet to be
read. In this mode, these settings can be performed in advance by corresponding each setting to a pattern
number.

IPC-4D

Image processing option of this scanner.

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. The specified threshold value determines whether black or white pixels are scanned. Line
drawing mode is therefore appropriate for scanning text and line art images.

Manual Feed mode = Manual Mode

Requires the operator to feed each document manually into the ADF paper chute.

GL-4

Manual start mode (<-> automatic start mode)

The reading operation is activated by pressing the START button in this mode. Available only when video
option board is installed.

Mirror image

The read image is symmetrically flipped to produce a mirror image of the original detected in the main
scanning direction.

Noise removal

Isolated noise from an image appearing as black spots in white areas and voids in black areas is removed
to improve image quality.

Operator panel

A panel containing the scanner indicators and buttons. The operator panel is used to control scanner
operations such as loading document, selecting features, and changing setup options.

Outline extraction

The boundary between black and white areas is traced and the outline extracted for closed areas.

PAPER JAM

A warning informing the user that document is jammed in the transport unit, or that transportation is
disabled because the transport unit is slippery. This warning also appears when a double feed is detected.

Photograph mode (White level follower OFF)

Selecting photograph mode makes brightness and contrast settings effective but prevents the threshold
from being set. With photograph mode, the darkness of image corresponds to the black-pixel density,
making it suitable in scanning images such as photographs having gradations.

Photo mode = photograph mode

A photograph is read properly in this mode.

Pick start time

The period from the manual insertion of the document until picking starts after the document passes the
hopper empty sensor.

GL-5

Portrait orientation

A document is transported and read with the long side parallel to the moving direction.

Paper counter

Indicates the total number of read document from start of reading until the hopper becomes empty.

Read operation

Refers to the reading operation including Simplex reading and Duplex reading.

RS-232C interface

A type of serial interface. See Serial interface.

SCSI-ID

Used to specify a particular SCSI device when the initiator selects a target or the target reconnects to the
initiator.

Serial interface

A standard computer interface. Information is transferred between devices over a single wire (although
other wires are used for control).
With a serial interface, an interface cable greater than 3 meters (10 feet) can be used. This is often
necessary in networking environments, where the scanner may be shared.

SETUP mode

In this mode, users can view or set a variety of function in off-line.

Simplex reading mode

Only the front side of the document is read in this mode. Place the documents face up at the center of the
hopper table.

Smoothing

A process that eliminates “jaggies” from slanted lines and curves. Irregular convexities are deleted and
irregular concavities filled in. This is useful in OCR applications, for example.

GL-6

Temporary Error

An error correctable by the operator.

Terminator

Devices with a SCSI interface can be daisy-chained. A resistor that includes terminal circuits needs to
be placed at both ends of a cable when devices are daisy-chained. If a device (such as a scanner) is the
last device in a chain, leaving an interface connector unused, a Terminator theerfore must be attached
to provide those terminal circits.

Third Party Interface

Optional board provided by Fujitsu or interface board provided by a third party can be installed and
used.

Time-out limit

This is the time the scanner waits for next document insertion after the last document feeding. The scanner
returns Paper Empty when no document is set after time-out limit.

TPS

Third Party Slot.
