Equipment Error
An error that cannot be fixed by the operator. The operator should call the manufacturer
for service.
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 pur-
pose of this technique is to minimize the average error between read and printed densi-
ties. 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.
FCC
Acronym for "The Federal Communications Commission", an independent United States
government agency which is in charge of regulating interstate and international commu-
nications via radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The Part 15 of the FCC regula-
tions mentioned in this manual is designed to prevent harmful interferences on radio
communication of radio receivers and other devices which radiate radio frequency
energy, and provides for the certification of radio receivers. It also provides the certifica-
tion of low power transmitters and the operation of certificated transmitters without a
license.
Feeds rollers
Rollers that feed documents through the ADF.
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.
Flat bed An input device of the scanner, where documents are placed and scanned.
Generally used for scanning pages out of a book, or paper that is out of the feeding
specification of the ADF. Also used to scan a small volume of documents by manual
operation.
AP-10
Flatbed
An input device of the scanner, where documents are placed and scanned. Generally
used for scanning pages out of a book, or paper that is out of the feeding specification of
the ADF. Also used to scan a small volume of documents by manual operation.
Gamma
A unit of changes of images' brightness. It is expressed as a function of the electric input
power to devices (scanner, display, etc.) and an image's brightness. If the gamma rate is
larger than 1, the brightness of an image increases and vice versa. In order to adjust the
brithtness of an image close to the orignal, generally the gamma value is set to 1.
Grayscale
A method for realizing the gradation from black to white on the scanned image. For
example, when scanning monochrome documents, the computer recognizes the docu-
ments as sets of black and white dots. In the Gray scale method, each dot contains data
regarding density of black. The original gradation of the documents is realized as the
gradation of the density data.
Halftone processing
Any method used to reproduce a photograph which includes a shade as an image com-
posed of dots, namely, a binary image. Dithering and error diffusion processing are
examples of halftone processing.
Image emphasis
C
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 scanned with specified parameters.
Interface
The connection that allows communication from the computer to the scanner.
Inversion (Reverse-image reading)
In reverse-image reading, data is changed from black to white and vice versa.
fi-5015C Image Scanner Operator’s Guide AP-11
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 cor-
responding each setting to a pattern number.
ISIS (Image Scanner Interface Specification)
A standard of API (Application Program Interface) or protocol for imaging devices (scan-
ners, digital cameras, etc.) developed by Pixel Translations, a division of Captiva Soft-
ware. In order to use imaging devices designed on the ISIS standard, it is necessary to
install the driver software of the same standard.

tion.
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.
Multi Feed detection
A scanner function which detects accidental feeding of multiple sheets into the ADF. This
can be set as both enabled/disabled.
AP-12
Mirror image
The read image is symmetrically flipped to produce a mirror image of the original
detected in the main scanning direction.
Moire Patterns
Recurrent patterns on scanned images caused by incorrect settings of angles.
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.
Removes particles from the document image. Common particles include toner and fax
particles. Noise reduction works via an algorithm that removes pixels up to 5 x 5 dots
appart. A dot is 1/400 inch. A particle can be distinguished from a character as it is not
connected to another dot within 5 pixels.
OCR (optical character recognition)
Devices or technologies for identifying characters on documents and converting them
into text data that can be manipulated. The documents are checked by light and the dif-
ferences of light reflection are recognized as character shapes.
Operator panel
A panel consists of indicators and buttons. The operator panel is used to control scanner
operations such as, selecting features, and changing settings.
Optical sensor
C
A type of sensor for detecting Multi Feeding by light transmission. It also detects multi
feeding by recognizing differences in length of documents.

into the ADF. This assembly is made out of rubber.
fi-5015C Image Scanner Operator’s Guide AP-13
Photograph mode (White level follower OFF)
Selecting photograph mode makes brightness and contrast settings effective but pre-
vents the threshold from being set. With photograph mode, the darkness of image corre-
sponds to the black-pixel density, making it suitable in scanning images such as
photographs having gradations.
Pick roller
Roller(s) that picks the page from the batch of paper in the paper chute and feed it into
the ADF.
Pick start time
The period from the manual insertion of the document until picking starts after the docu-
ment passes the hopper empty sensor.

Simplex reading mode
A mode for scanning only the front side of the document.
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.
Storage temperature/humidity
The temperature and humidity levels necessary for proper storage of the scanner.
Temporary Error
An error that can be fixed by the operator.
Terminator
Devices with a SCSI interface can be daisy-chained. A resistor that includes terminal cir-
cuits needs to be placed at both ends of the SCSI chain 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 therefore must be attached to provide those terminal cir-
cits.
C
Third Party Interface
Used to install optional board provided by Fujitsu or interface board manufactured by a
third party.
Threshold
A value used as a metric for judging a color as black or white. For scanning an image
with gray gradation, this value must be defined. The threshold setting determines which
pixels are converted to black and which will become white.
