1) LED
Red, green and blue LEDs are used to illuminate the scanning document. To
compensate for the low intensity of the red and green LED's, two red and green
LEDs have been incorporated and a total of five LEDs are mounted on the scanner.
Only the green LED is used for monochrome scanning.
2) Illumination lens
This "D" shaped lens converges the light from the LED light source.
3) Diffusion board
The light intensity of the LED is brighter at the center than at the ends. The
diffusion board allows even distribution of light onto the document.
4) Field lens
This lens prevents any magnification reduction caused by paper gaps when scanning
a lifted or bent document.
5) Imaging lens
This lens is used for forming an image of the light rays converged by the field lens
onto the CCD.
6) Shading board
The shading board with a slit at the front surface of the CCD is used to prevent
crosstalk generated in areas adjacent to high contrast areas.
7) CCD
The scanner cartridge uses a semiconductor type, one-line 128 pixel CCD (Charge
Coupled Device). Depending on the light amount of the image formed on the CCD,
electric voltage signals are sent to the scanner controller as image signals.
