Orientation in which the long side of the document is set parallel to the feed direction. Documents/images are set/displayed vertically.

R
Resolution
A measurement to indicate the quality (fineness) or an image. Resolution is displayed by the number of pixels within an inch. Since image data is a collection of small dots (pixels), if the same image contains different amount of pixels, the one with more pixels can express greater details. Therefore, the higher the resolution, the finer the image becomes.
S
SCSI
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a standard for interfaces, used to connect devices such as hard disks and scanners. Up to seven devices can be connected by this interface (daisy chain). The data transfer rate is 10 MB/sec. at maximum for Fast SCSI, and 20 MB/sec. at maximum for Wide SCSI.
