GLOSSARY

RESAMPLE

To change the number of pixels in the image. If

 

pixels are discarded when shrinking an image, it is

 

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.

 

Monitors use red, green, and blue phosphors to

 

create the image you see on the screen.

SHADOWS

The dark areas of an image.

TIFF

Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) files contain bit-

 

mapped data. In addition to being a widely

 

supported format, TIFF is able to handle the color

 

palette needed for professional-quality images and

 

graphics.

USB

In the USB connection, the peripheral devices such

 

as a mouse, printer, scanner, etc. can be connected

 

up to 127 with an interface. Furthermore, the

 

peripheral equipment can be easily set up because

 

the USB connection does not requires to specify the

 

ID number or the terminator for each equipment

 

compared with the SCSI devices.

 

It does not matter whether the USB equipment or

 

computer is turned on or off first.

 

In the USB connection, the USB equipment or

 

computer can be connected or disconnected even

 

while the equipment is turned on.

 

When disconnecting and connecting the USB

 

equipment, perform at an interval of 5 seconds or

 

more.

WINDOWS® BMP

bit-mapped images. BMP images are supported by

 

the Paint accessory and can easily be opened on

 

most PCs running Windows.
