RESAMPLE | To change the number of pixels in the image. If |

| called resampling down. If new pixels are created in |
| an image, it is called resampling up (see page 100). |
RESOLUTION | The number of pixels in a given area of the image; |
| such as pixels per inch or pixels per centimeter. |
| High resolution is the term for an image with a lot of |
| pixels in a given area. Low resolution means there |
| are not many pixels in a given area. |
RGB | Red, Green, and Blue. These are the colors of the |
| three channels that make up the scanned image. |

| mapped data. In addition to being a widely |

USB | In the USB connection, the peripheral devices such |
| as a mouse, printer, scanner, etc. can be connected |

| ID number or the terminator for each equipment |
| compared with the SCSI devices. |

| computer is turned on or off first. |
| In the USB connection, the USB equipment or |
