InoTec SCAMAX 2600 Service Manual page 10

The scan module for the front page of the document transmits the image information in 8-bit format, i.e.
with 256 grey levels.
In the case of a duplex scanner the scan module for the back page simultaneously transmits the image
information in 256 grey levels as well.
The greyscale interface passes the greyscale image information for the front and back page via a
separate port to the scan PC.
At the same time the same image information is passed to the controller board. It converts the images to
bitonal (black&white) format for the front and back respectively and transmits it separately to the scan PC.
As can be seen in the drawing, one port each for bitonal and greyscale output exists for the front page.
These are connected to the PC's scanner interface (dunord-Board). For the back page identical twin ports
exist. These are connected to the second scanner interface in the PC.
If the SCAMAX 2600 has a DTplus-Board fitted for each scan module that board comes with an
integrated greyscale interface. Should greyscale images be required it is possible to fit a plug connection
on each board (special option) to lead to outside port to transmit the greyscale signal to the PC.
