C-5

Appendix - C --- Scanner Terms

Photographic Expert Group, JPEG images feature small file 

size and speed, but lower quality than other formats. 

Lossless Compression

File compression and subsequent de-compression without any 

loss of data. 

Lossy Compression

File compression that will compress data to a high degree. 

When subsequently un-compressed, data will have been lost. 

LZW

Method of lossless compression used with many file formats; 

developed by Lempel, Zev and Welch.

Midtones 

The most important part of a picture between black (shadows) 

and white (highlights). 

Negative 

A reversed photographic image used to produce a positive 

print or a scanned image. 

NET - NET Architecture 

NET Architecture is a solution for scanning across local net-

works.

What does it do?

 

• Enables Sharing a scanner on a network.

 

• Enables scanning to a Designated Scan Folder on 

another computer.

NET Architecture allows a a scanner to scan to a client PC in a 

single coherent and secure process. The client does not need to 

expose or share his local hard disk as the system can be set up 

for authorized transfer to the client. 

Example of usage - a company that needs to create digital 

documents of its drawing archive, can send the drawings to 

a service bureau that scans all the documents directly to the 

client (company) file server allowing immediate feedback 

from the client and prevents digital distribution of confidential 

documents outside the client company.

NET Architecture also allows users in a company to use a 

scanner, from their own PC workstations although the scanner 

is physically placed elsewhere. It only need to be on the same 

LAN. In this way a single scanner is “shared” throughout the 

company.

Noise

A term used to describe the occurrence of pixels that contain 

random colors within an image.

Original

 

The paper, negative, slide, or film to be scanned. 

Palette

The set of colors available for an image.

PICT

A file format for pictures used primarily on the Macintosh. 

Pixels Per Inch (ppi) 

A measurement of resolution for scanners, where the individu-

al element is a square picture element (pixel). 

Pixels

The word pixel is a combination of the two words picture and 

element. It is the smallest building block within a scanned 

line-art or photographic image. A pixel is the small square 

picture element that is filled with a color, black or white. The 

value of a pixel depends on the luminance of the area, and is 

either a single bit for a black and white image, or multi-bit 

for a color or gray-tone image. Pixels come in various sizes 

and their size is expressed in terms of resolution. Resolution 

is measured in pixels per inch (ppi) or the equivalent dots per 

inch (DPI.)

PostScript 

A computer language developed by Adobe (R) Systems, Inc. 

for printing text, graphics, and scanned images. PostScript (R) 

is a vector format that can include scanned bitmapped images. 

Raster File

Also called Raster Image or Bitmapped Image. A picture 

composed of individual dots (picture elements, pixels) the way 

a scanner perceives it. The rows in a high-resolution raster 

file typically contain 200 or 300 dots per horizontal inch of 

the original drawing, and there are typically 200 or 300 rows 

per vertical inch. As each of these dots is defined by location, 

and by whether it is on or off, raster images generally result in 

large data files.

Resolution of a Scanner

Expressed as DPI (dots per inch) or the equivalent ppi (pixels 

per inch). The higher the resolution of a scanner, the smoother 

the scanned images.

Resolution 

A measure of how many pixels per inch are scanned. Gener-

ally, more pixels per inch means more detail in the picture and 

a larger file when saved. Defines the level of detail that can 

be captured or shown by a scanner, display, or output device. 

For scanners, the resolution is defined by the number of dots 

(pixels) per inch (DPI) that can be captured horizontally and 

vertically, e.g. 300 DPI equals 90,000 pixels per square inch.
