MX-M700N SCANNER SECTION D – 2
2. Operational descriptions
A. Outline
There are following three methods of scanning documents in this machine.
• Place a document on the table glass. The copy lamp unit is operated to radiate copy lamp light onto the document, scanning the document
with the CCD.
• The DSPF feeds a document. The copy lamp light is radiated onto the document which is stopped at the specified position and the document
is scanned by the CCD.
• The DSPF feed a document. The LED light of the CIS unit which is attached to the DSPF is radiated to the back of the document, and the
document is scanned by the CIS.
B. Description
(1)
CCD/Lens unit
This machine employs the reduction optical-type line CCD (Charge Coupled Device) of scan resolution of 600dpi and 7400 pixels.
CCD scan is performed by shifting the scan positions sequentially by the carriage unit (lamp and mirror) scan or moving the document with the
DSPF.
Lights reflected by the document are reflected by each mirror to form images on CCD elements through the reduction-type lens. The CCD con-
verts the optical energy into electrical energy (analog). (Photoelectric conversion)
(2)
CIS unit
The image sensor which scans back document images is attached to the DSPF. The close-contact type image sensor (Contact Image Sensor)
with scan resolution of 600dpi and 7196 pixels is employed.
For the CIS to scan documents, the scan position is sequentially shifted by shifting the document by the DSPF, and the LED light in the unit is
radiated to the back of the document, and photo energy is converted into electric energy (analog signal).
