which require an average of only ten minutes per day.
• Computer-based diagnostics and modular design enable quick and
easy problem diagnosis and repair, reducing downtime.
• Selectable scan resolution from 300–70 dpi.
• Image compression (GIII 1-dimensional; GIII 2-dimensional; GIV).
• Image processing capabilities (such as cropping, image
enhancement filters, noise filter, screening/dithering, thresholding,
etc.).

• Automatically generates image addresses (from a customer-
defined base address).
• Eighteen programmable modes provide customization for specific
applications.
Optional accessories
All accessories have been designed to operate at paper transport speed.

The following accessories are available to customize scanner applications:
• Advanced Document Controller — detects document overlap
and skew.
• Bar Code Reader — provides a hands-off method of entering data
by automatically reading and decoding information encoded in bar
code form. Decoded bar code information is included in the image
header.

documents.
• Check Stacker — provides continuous stacking of check-sized
documents.
• Document Printer Controller — allows use of the document printers
(one or two DP1 printers, and one DP12 printer).

be printed on documents (single line, vertical orientation—38
characters maximum) as they pass through the transport system.
This information is used for document identification and tracking.
• Document Printer 12 — allows customer-specified information to
be printed on documents (multiple lines, horizontal orientation—
144 characters maximum) as they pass through the transport
system. This information is used for document identification and
tracking.
• Endorser — automatically imprints endorsements on the rear side
of documents (with a variety of die stamp styles) as they pass
through the transport system.
• Footswitch — provides a hands-off method of performing
document level changes or commonly used functions while
documents are being fed into the transport system.
• Imaging Station Lamps — provides color form drop-out capability
for more efficient document storage.
• Patch Reader — controls document level changes by
automatically sensing a predefined patch code and changing the
document level accordingly.
