Glass flat.

the lamps passes through this glass to illuminate the document.
Host.
The computer to which the scanner is connected. The host issues the scan commands to
the scanner.
Illegal command.
A command, or set of commands, sent from the workstation
Imprinter
. Option that allows for front page pre-scan imprinting of a string of alphanumeric
characters on documents that are fed into the scanner transport.
Interlock.
A safety device which removes AC power from the interior of the scanner whenever
the top or side cover is moved from its normally closed position.
Manual mode.
The scanner mode in which the documents are manually fed by the operator,
rather than automatically fed into the feeder.
Multifeed.
Occurs when more than one document is fed through the feeder at once
Paper jam.
The scanner considers that a paper jam has occurred if the document takes longer
than normal to exit from the scanner.
Paper path.
The curved path taken by a document as it passes through the scanner.
Paper transport.
The mechanical system for moving a document through the scanner.
Power cord.
The cord which connects the scanner to AC power.
Power cord receptacle.
The connector at the rear of the scanner into which the power cord is
inserted. The other end of the power cord is plugged into the wall outlet, or other source of AC
power.
Power down or Power off.
Turning off the scanner. This is generally done by moving the
scanner rear panel power switch to the OFF position.
Power up or Power on.
Applying power to the scanner. This is generally done by connecting the
scanner to a “live” electrical outlet and then turning on the rear panel scanner power switch.
Resolution.
Resolution is measured in “dots per inch” (dpi). It is a measurement of the ability of
a scanner to reproduce small objects. The higher the resolution, the smaller the object the scanner
can reproduce.
Reverse roller.
The lower feeder roller. If the separation knob is set correctly, this roller holds
back all but the top document in the stack of documents. This roller allows the skimmer module
to feed a single document at a time into the scanner.
Rollers.
Rollers, spaced along the paper path, move the documents to be scanned through the
mechanical section of the scanner.
