OVERVIEW This chapter provides scanner features, configuration, and operation. Scanner Types The M3099EX/EH is a very fast and highly functional image scanner developed for volume filing, using charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors. This scanner, featuring duplex reading and high-quality image processing, read documents fed by an automatic document feeder (ADF).
Furthermore, the use of new LSI chips produces finer images. New image processing function The error diffusion feature is provided as standard. Dithering or error diffusion can be applied to those areas judged to be photographs by automatic separation (image processing II option). M3099EX/EH OEM Manual...
