Document Quality

This section describes document types and weights available for the scanner, and precautions.

Document type

The recommended paper type for document is as follows:

NOTE

Use the specified paper only. (In rare occasion, double feeding may occur or document damage may
occur.)

• Fine paper

• Plain paper (for example, the paper specified for XEROX4024)

• OCR paper
When using all other type paper, check that it is successfully fed by ADF before performing a reading

operation.

Paper weight

The paper weight is as follows :

• 52 to 127 g/m2 3.9 to 34 lb)

Precautions

Be careful not to scan the following document. Preliminary document feed test may be necessary to avoid
the unexpected errors. If the document slips in ADF (JAM error) or double feed occurs frequently,
separation pressure adjustment in Reference Guide may be effective.

• Paper with clips

• Paper with wet ink

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

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

• Paper with folds or tears

• Tracing paper

• Coating paper

• Carbon paper

• Carbonless paper

• Paper smaller than 76 mm x 63 mm size, or larger than A3

• Other than paper ; clothes, metal foil, or OHP film

• Photographic paper

• Paper with notches on its side

• Other than rectangle paper

4-2

CAUTION

Do not feed an important original document to prevent damage to it in rare
case.

When scanning a translucent document, set the density to light mode.
To prevent roller smudging, avoid scanning a document filled out in pencil. Clean the roller as often as

possible when scanning many document. Once every 1000 sheets is recommended.
The chemical composition of some carbonless papers may react with the roller rubber and damage the

rubber. Check the carbonless papers before use.

The carbonless papers may be used if:

• Paper weight is 52 g/m2 (13.9 lb) or more.

• Hopper load is 500 sheets or fewer.

NOTE

• If carbonless papers are used, clean the roller twice as often as usual.

• Paper should be straightened to fit the condition below.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

A4 size

A standard paper size used in Japan and other countries. Paper size is 210 x 297 mm (8.25 x 11.6 inches).

Abrasion counter

Indicates when belts/rollers should be replaced. The number of read document accumulates until an
operator resets the counter. It should be reset when consumables are replaced.

ASCII

The acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
ASCII is a set of 256 codes (numbered 0 to 255) used to communicate information between a computer
and another device such as scanner.

Automatic separation

The image processing method to detect the difference between text and photos and choose the threshold
accordingly. Automatic separation allows the scanner to switch 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 START command.

Back-side reading = Back-side scanning

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

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

Refers to a measurement of the depth of the display in this manual.

Dither

Technique for producing halftone images representing the entire grayscale using two pixel levels black
and white.

GL-1

Double feed detection

A function which detects the status when multiple sheets are fed in the transport unit.

dpi

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.

Endorser

The unit for printing characters before or after scanning. These character may be used for collation of the
documents and the image data. (See Chapter 6 ENDORSER.)

Endorser value

The number printed by the endorser.

Equipment Error

An error that is not recoverable by 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.
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 photo graphs.

Filtering

The quality of images written in pencil or ball-pointed pen and read depends on the reflective light
characteristics of the ink or lead.
Dropped pixel’s may produce out lines, gaps or thin, barely connected lines due to even optical density.
Filtering detects areas lighter than their surroundings and increases their density to improve image clarity.

GL-2

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 a photograph which includes a shade as an image composed of dots, namely a binary
image. Dithering and error diffusion processing are examples of the halftone processing.

Heater control

The heater is set to ON or OFF to keep the lamp at a constant temperature and stabilize the intensity of
the lamp.

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.

Image processing

An image is read with specified parameters.

Initial screen

A screen displayed when the power is turned on or when reading is activated by the command from the
host computer.

INK EMPTY

A warning issued when the number of dots printed by the print head exceeds a specified value. It indicates
that the life of the print head is near to the end and the replacement of the print head is soon necessary.

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.

GL-3

Inversion (Reverse-image reading)

In reverse-image reading, data is changed from black to white and vice versa.

IPC-2 pre-set 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 II

Image processing option of this scanner.

IRAS

Initialization of the hardware.

Landscape

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 (215.9 x

279.4 mm).

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. Line­drawing mode is therefore appropriate for scanning text and line art images.

Manual Feed mode = Manual Mode

Requires the operator to feed each document manually to the hopper table.

Manual start mode (<–> automatic start mode)

The reading operation is activated by pressing the START button in this mode.

Mirror image

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

GL-4

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 fed is detected.

Photograph mode (White level follower ON)

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.

Picking start time

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

Picking time

The period from the start of picking until the document reaches SF1 sensor. Specify a little longer picking
time for the document with a large friction factor.

Pick speed

A speed when a document is picked. Set the pick speed to SLOW to prevent JAM or MISS PICK.

Portrait

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

GL-5

Pre-picking

A setting in which a document to be read next is placed at the front of the reading unit while the previous
document is read. Setting the pre-picking makes the process speedier.

Print head

A cartridge located in the endorser (optional). It contains the ink reservoirs and creates the ink droplets.
It is replaceable by operator.

Print head life counter = ink counter

A counter which accumulates the number of the printed dots. When the accumulated number exceeds
a specified value, “INK EMPTY” appears.

Print number reset method

Determines whether or not to reset the number printed by the endorser to zero. This scanner can be set
so that the number is reset when the hopper empty is detected.

Readable status

A status when the power is turned on or when reading is activated by the command from the host computer.

Reading counter

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

Read operation

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

Reset method of endorser

Refer to “Print number reset method”.

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 re-connects to the
initiator.

GL-6

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.

SFI sensor

The document detection sensor. It detects the light that transmits the paper. It also detects the double
feed error.

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

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

Start command time-out

Occurs if START command does not arrive before the specified time after reading the previous document
is complete. In this case the hopper table is lowered.

Temporary Error

An error that is recoverable by operator.

Terminator

Devices with SCSI interface are daisy-chained. A resistor that includes terminal circuits needs to be
placed at both ends of a cable when devices are daisy-chained.
