Fujitsu M3099GX manual Serial interface, SETUP mode, SFI sensor, Simplex reading mode, Smoothing

Serial interface

A standard computer interface. Information is transferred between devices over a single wire (although other wires are used for control).

With a serial interface, an interface cable greater than 3 meters (10 feet) can be used. This is often necessary in networking environments, where the scanner may be shared.

SETUP mode

In this mode, users can view or set a variety of function in Off-line.

SFI sensor

The document detection sensor. It detects the light that transmits the paper. It also detects the double feed error.

Simplex reading mode

Only the front side of the document is read in this mode. Place the documents face-up at the center of the hopper table.

Smoothing

Smoothing eliminates jaggies from slanted lines and curves. Irregular convexities are deleted and irregular concavities filled in. This is useful in OCR applications, for example.

Start command time-out

Occurs if START command does not arrive before the specified time after reading the previous document is complete. In this case the hopper table is lowered.

Temporary Error

An error that is recoverable by operator.

Terminator

Devices with SCSI interface are daisy-chained. A resistor that includes terminal circuits needs to be placed at both ends of a cable when devices are daisy-chained.
