I. FEATURES
1. Screen for A3 size
Equipped with a screen capable of displaying up to A3 size.
2. One-touch operation for screen image

One-touch key operation from the operation panel on main body enables image adjustment functions
such as Auto-focus (AF), Automatic Brightness Adjustment (AE), Zoom Memory, 90° Image Rotation,
and others.
3. High-speed scanning
The scanning speed for one frame is less than 3.4 seconds.
(A4 CCITT No.1 lengthwise, centered reference point, 300 dpi × 300 dpi, simple binary output)
4. High resolution
Capable of 600 dpi × 600 dpi output at maximum
(The optical resolution of the Image Sensor is 300 dpi.)
5. Gray scale output

Capable of gray scale output of up to 8 bits (256 levels) in addition to binary output.
The optional 128 MB memory is required for gray scale output.
Note: The initial mass-production machines will not be provided with a function (DMP) for outputting directly
to a printer. They will, however, be provided with a Reader-Printer Mode for outputting via a personal
computer.
For this reason, this manual does not contain any references to the DMP function. For details on the
DMP function, refer to technical information issued separately.

Auto AE processing is executed (excluding gray scale).
Setting value The lamp intensity corresponding to the value and the comparison voltage of the

Table 2-2
Film Polarity Lamp Intensity

Negative film The lamp voltage falls and the lamp intensity decreases as the setting value be-
comes closer to “255.”
As negative/positive reversal is performed on the data, the output image becomes
brighter when the intensity is decreased.
Positive film The lamp voltage rises and the lamp intensity increases as the setting value be-
comes closer to “255.”
Table 2-3
4) Fine brightness adjustment

If a satisfactory image cannot be obtained even
by adjusting the “brightness” setting value, adjust
this setting value. Fine brightness can be set within
the range “0” to “255.” How images are processed
varies according to the mode setting. (See Table
2-4.)
Mode Processing Method

Black and white Changes the slice level of simple binarization. When the setting value is brought
closer to “255”, the slice level approaches black (data value “0”) to reproduce a
brighter image. As this process is performed after negative/positive judgment,
Black and white-fine the image is reproduced brighter if the setting value is brought closer to “255” in
the same way even if the film is negative film or positive film.
Black and white-pic- Changes the gamma curve to be used. When the setting value is brought closer
ture to “255”, a gamma curve with strong compensation characteristics is selected.
Generally, images are reproduced harder and brighter.
Gray scale The entire image data is shifted. The data values are amplified uniformly accord-
(4/16/256 levels) ing to the setting value taking “128” as the center value (zero shift).
If the setting value is brought closer to “255”, the data values increase reproduc-
ing the image brighter.

3. Polarizing Filter
A polarizing filter is inserted before the image
sensor to adjust (reduce) the light intensity for
matching with the sensitivity of the image sensor
and to remove any diagonally incident light.
4. Sensor Amplifier PCB Assembly

A sensor amplifier PCB assembly is provided
for output from the image sensor so that the im-
pedance is lowered to reduce the influence of noise.
A voltage proportional to the image density and
reference voltage are output from the image sen-
sor after the image has been read. In the sensor
amplifier, the difference between voltage propor-
tional to the image density and the reference volt-
age is reverse-amplified and then output. The ref-
erence voltage is the same from ch. 1 to ch. 4. (See

Suppose that the analog input signal is X, the

white comparison voltage before the change is VH0
and its output is Y0.
When the white comparison voltage is con-
verted from VH0 to VH1, the linear inclination of
A/D conversion increases, and output Y1 brighter
than Y0 can be obtained from input X. Input sig-
nals overall are converted to be brighter, which in-
creases the contrast.
When the white comparison voltage is con-
verted from VH0 to VH2, the linear inclination of
A/D conversion decreases, and output Y2 darker
than Y0 can be obtained from input X. Input sig-
nals overall are converted to be darker, which re-
duces the contrast.
Actually, contrast is adjusted by changing not
only the white comparison voltage (VH) but also
the black comparison voltage (VL). In the case of
Fig. 2-14, most of the analog signal is output as
white or black digital signals, and the contrast of
the output image increases.
4. Dark Compensation
The output of parts where light does not strike
the photosensitive elements on this image sensor
varies according to each element. For this reason,
the output when a black film has been read be-
comes the output obtained by adding different val-
ues to each element, and is not uniform. The com-
pensation of these values is called “dark compen-
sation.”
The output from the image sensor when the

illumination lamp is turned OFF is stored to memory
as compensation values. Dark compensation is
performed by deducting the compensation values
from the output when the image is read. The out-
put when a black image is read according to this
compensation becomes “0.” (See Fig. 2-15 and
Fig. 2-16.)
A combination of dark clamp and dark com-
pensation is sometimes referred to as “black com-
pensation.”

11. AF (Auto-Focus) Processing

This machine is provided with an auto-focus
function.
When the AF key on the operation panel on
the main body is pressed, focusing of the image is
automatically performed.
• Procedure
1) When the AF key on the operation panel on
the main body is pressed, the lamp intensity
becomes a minimum and the scanner unit
moves to the “fixed position” (described later).
2) The focus motor returns to the home position.
3) One line of image data is read as the focus
motor is driven.
4) After undergoing A/D conversion and shading
compensation, the image data is input to a
dedicated chip.
5) This dedicated chip performs processing to
square the absolute value of the error between
output values for adjacent pixels.
This processing is performed successively,
and the total value (X) of the squared values
of each absolute value and the focus motor
position data are stored to memory.

For example, when the image sensor output
is converted to 4-bit digital signals by A/D conver-

slice level, and compared with the digital signals.

22. Image Compression

Image compression is not performed internally
by this machine as improvement of the scanning
speed is not considered a priority. So, image com-
pression is performed internally on the personal
computer.
The type of image compression is determined
when specifying the file format of the image data
that is to be recorded. Also, the type of image com-
pression is restricted by mode. For details, refer to
the Instruction Manual.
• TIFF format → MMR

• JPEG format → JPEG
• JBIG format → JBIG
• BMP format → Non-compressed

Field lens Moves vertically so that the focus is aligned at the lens iris position. Normally, the
higher the magnification, the lower down the lens is moved.
Diaphragm blade The diaphragm blade comprises three thin blades. The blades are moved to
block light to prevent scattered light reflection at the prism unit. The diaphragm
blade is used at high magnifications; the amount of shaded light increases in
proportion to the magnification.
Condenser lens Lessens the spread of light. Used during low magnifications.
Heat-insulated glass Blocks out heat and lowers the light intensity. Used at all times.
Infra-red light filter Blocks out infra-red light to prevent deterioration of contrast on diazo film. Used at
all times.
Diffusion glass Diffuses light and lowers the light intensity. Used only during scanning at low
magnifications. Not used during screen projection.

CHAPTER 4
DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY
This chapter describes the disassembly and reassembly procedure.

When disassembling and reassembling the machine, observe the following.
1. Before starting the disassembly and reassembly operations be sure to disconnect the power to the
machine for safety sake.
2. Reassembly can be performed in the opposite way to disassembly unless otherwise mentioned.
3. In reassembly, do not confuse the type of screws (length and diameter) and their location.
4. To ensure positive continuity of electricity, a toothed washer is used as a ground retaining screw. Be sure
to use this washer when reassembling the machine.
5. As a rule, do not operate the machine with any part removed.

1. Installation Environment
1) The power voltage must be within ± 10% of
the rated voltage.
2) The temperature must be within 15 to 27.5°C
and the humidity must be within 25 to 75% RH.
Avoid installing in high-temperature, high-hu-
midity locations.
3) Avoid installing in dusty locations.
4) Avoid installing in locations subject to direct
sunlight.
5) Avoid installing in locations where the main ma-
chine is likely to tilt or be subject to vibration.
2. Film
1) The film must be free from scratches.
2) The density must be good. There must be a
difference between the density of the target
image and the density of the background.
3) There must be a clear difference between ad-
jacent images (up, down, left and right). Spe-
cial attention must be paid when functions that
require detection of the outer frame of the im-
age such as automatic skew correction and
frame erase are used.
3. Carrier/Lens/Lamp
1) The carrier and lens must operate normally and
be installed correctly.
2) The glass and lens surface must be free from
dirt or scratches.
4. System Environment
1) The personal computer, display, printer and
other specifications must be satisfied. For
details, refer to the Instruction Manuals for the
main machine and the respective Instruction
Manuals.
