1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the scanner and peripherals,
make sure that the scanner power cord is unplugged.
2. The wall outlet should be near the scanner and easily accessible.
3. The output voltage of the PSU (Power Supply Unit) can be either 100 ~ 120
Vac or 220 ~ 240 Vac, without any adjustment. Make sure that the above
voltage is used.
4. The power cord should be an approved type, in accordance with the
regulations for the country in which the scanner is used.
5. The use of cables other than the shield I/O cables or specified equivalents
will invalidate the certification of this scanner and may cause interference
levels which exceed the limits established for this equipment.
6. When keeping used lithium batteries in order to dispose of them later, do not
put more than 100 batteries per sealed box. Storing larger numbers or not
sealing them apart may lead to chemical reactions and heat buildup.

6.3.1 OVERVIEW
[A]
[C]
• The exposure lamp (a xenon lamp in this model) [A] illuminates the original. The
image is reflected onto a CCD (charge coupled device) [B] via the 1st, 2nd, and
3rd mirrors, and through the lenses [C].
• The scanner scans the white plate [A] on the underside of the ADF exposure
cover to perform the shading function.
• The scanners stop when the first scanner activates the home position sensor [E].
• If the scanner home position sensor is not activated within a certain time, a home
position sensor error will occur.

6.3.3 IMAGE PROCESSING
• The CCD generates three analog video signals.
• The SBU (Sensor Board Unit) converts these analog signals to 12-bit digital
signals.
• It sends these digital signals to the SCU (Scanner Control Unit) board through
the VIOB board.
• The RIPU (Image Processing Unit) IC on the SCU processes the image, and
then the image data is sent to the computer through the Memory Control IC and
the SCSI controller.

SCANNING28 December, 2000
SBU and VIOB
The CCD converts the light reflected f rom the o rigin al into an analog signal.
The CCD has an odd and an even output line for each of the three colors. Each
color also has an analog processing IC. The analog processing IC performs the
following operations.
1. Z/C (Zero Clamp)
Adjusts the black level reference for even pixels to match the odd pixels.
2. Signal Amplification
Operational amplifiers in the AGC (Auto Gain Control) circuit amplify the analog
signal. The CPU on the SCU board controls the maximum gain.
After the above processes, the analog signals are converted to 12-bit digital signals
by the A/D converters. Each pixel is given a value from the 256-grade scale. The
shading function then corrects those signals. Shading correction prevents uneven
images caused by fluctuations in scanned data due to changes in light intensity
and CCD sensitivity.
RIPU on SCU
The RIPU is the image processor on the SCU. It handles the following:
1. Line skipping correction
2. Scan line correction
3. Black and white conversion
4. Gamma (γ) correction
5. Color resolution
6. Filtering
7. Magnification
8. Scale processing
9. Erasure of Irregular Dots
Line skipping correction
Ideally, this machine would scan at a constant speed. However, when the data
transfer speed slows down, the 1st scanner must also slow down to match. If the
1st scanner must stop to wait on the client or server, duplicate lines may be
scanned. These can create a visible seam between the scanned sections. Line
skipping correction erases duplicate image lines, ensuring a smooth final image.

28 December, 2000SCANNING
Scan line correction
The CCD consists of three lines of elements, one for each color (red, green and
blue). Since there is a slight gap between the lines, each line is scanning a slightly
different part of the image. To produce the final image, these three outputs need to
be synchronized. Since the deviation between the lines varies with the scanner
speed, a deviance value must be calculated in proportion to the speed.
Black and white conversion
When the machine scans a color original in the black and white mode, the RGB
information needs to be converted into a grayscale image. Black and white
conversion provides four different methods.
1. RGB data: All three colors are combined into the grayscale.
2. R data mode: Only the data from the red CCDs are used. This 256-grade data
is used directly as a 256-grade grayscale. Since green and blue data is not
collected, those colors appear black in the final image.
3. G data mode: As R data but only using green.
4. B data mode: As R data but only using blue.
Gamma (
) correction
γγγγ
There should be a linear relationship between the original image density and the
CCD output.
Gamma correction adjusts for deviations from this ideal. It includes both brightness
and contrast corrections.
Color resolution
Because of the differences in color space, the color observed by a person, and the
color value sensed by the CCD can vary. Color resolution corrects the color data
gathered by the CCD. It uses a color table that adjusts for the way particular colors
are displayed on specific CRTs. This allows a more-natural representation of the
scanned image.
Filtering
There are two software filters: the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) filter and
the smoothing filter. The MTF filter emphasizes sharpness, and is used with
documents that contain both text and photo areas. The smoothing filter is only
used for photo-image documents.

SCANNING28 December, 2000
Magnification
The RIPU enlarges or reduces the image data in the scan direction.
Reduction and enlargement in the sub scan direction are done by changing the
scanning speed, using LIFO (last in, first out).
Scale processing
This process generates image densities of up to 256 levels for each pixel. It uses
simple binary, dithering, and error diffusion processing.
Simple binary processing sets the level based on a threshold value. There are no
shades of gray. The output is black or white only.
Dither processing is used to reproduce originals with continuous tones, such as
photographs on machines that cannot output true grayscales. It produces different
shades of gray by creating patterns of black and white dots. There are no gray
dots.
The error diffusion process reduces the difference in contrast between light and
dark areas of a halftone im age. Each pixel is corrected using the difference
between it and the surrounding pixels. The corrected pixels are then compared with
a matrix table. Error diffusion is often used in text/photo mode. It is a good
compromise because it reduces the contrast between light and dark areas of
halftone images, while having no effect on letter areas.
Erasure of Irregular Dots
When the CCD output is converted to a simple b i nary image, slight variations
(noise) may result in individual pixels being incorrectly classified as either black or
white. This process compares each pixel with its neighbors, using a matching
technique to identify and remove these irregular dots.
OIPUB
The OIPUB is an optional image-processing unit. It improves the processing of
black and white images using the following features:
1. Auto binary processing
2. Auto Image area separation
3. Manual Image area separation
Auto binary processing
When making simple binary scans of a light original (e.g. gray text on a white
background), the threshold level is adjusted. This allows the lighter shades to
appear in the final image (in the above example, as black text on a white
background).
6-8

28 December, 2000NEWORK INTERFACE
Auto image area separation
When a sca nned document contains both text and photo areas, the machine
searches for the outlines of the text. Based on these outlines, it separates the
image into text and photo areas. Text areas use simple binary processing. Photo
areas use dithering and error diffusion.
Manual image area separation
Here, the user separates the text and photo areas by hand (Use the TWAIN
software). Image processing is the same as in auto image area separation.
6.4 NEWORK INTERFACE
The following network scanning options are available:
1. Network Transmission scanning
This scanner transmits the scanning image data to the scanner server. The
scanner server then transmits the data to a client PC.
2. Network TWAIN scanning
The client PC sends scanning commands directly to the scanner. The scanner then
sends the scanning image data back to the client PC.

IEEE1394 INTERFACE28 December, 2000
6.5 IEEE1394 INTERFACE
6.5.1 IEEE1394
IEEE1394, also known as FireWire (a name patented by Apple), is an easy-to-use
peer-to-peer networking technology, allowing speeds of up to 400 Mbps.
The current standard contains the following features, which are supported in most
devices:
• Hot swapping (cables can be connected and disconnected while the
computer and other devices are switched on)
• Peer-to-peer networking (no hub required)
• No terminator or device ID is required, unlike SCSI
• Automatic configuration of devices upon start-up (plug and play).
• Real-time data transfer at 100, 200, and 400 Mbps
• Common connectors for different devices
1394 I/F
1394 I/F
G056D513.WMF
The cable length is limited to 4.5 m (15ft). However, up to 16 cables and 63
devices can be connected to an IEEE1394 network.
IEEE1394 cables can be either 4-pin (data only) or 6-pin (data and power).
However, this machine only uses the 6-pin connectors. The machine has two 6-pin
ports.

NOTE: 1) P1-P4 represents the four positions on the width sensor board. ON
indicates the presence of the terminal plate in a given position. “Original
Width-1” and “Original Width-2” are the outputs from the sensor board to
the ARDF Interface board. The state of these outputs (L or H) depends
on the position of the terminal plate on the sensor board (P1, P2, P3, or
P4). For example, if the terminal plate is at P4, both outputs are L.
2) A reading of “L” on either of the width sensor outputs indicates that the
terminal plate is connecting the GND pattern with the width sensor
output signal line.
