The performance of the scanner
Main performance indexes are x, y direction of the scanner, the resolution of the color resolution (color number) and the way of scanning width
and interfaces.All kinds of scanners are clearly indicate its optical resolution and maximum resolution.Resolution of a single
Dpi, dpi is English Dot Per Inch, the pixel points Per Inch.
1. What is the optical resolution?
Optical resolution refers to the optical scanner system can collect the actual amount of information, also is the resolution of the sensor, CCD
scanners.Such as maximum scanning range is 216 mm x 297 mm (scan) suitable for A4 paper
Instrument can scan the maximum width of 8.5 inches (216 mm), the CCD contains 5100 units, its optical resolution of 5100 points / 8.5 inch =
600 dpi.Common optical resolution of 300 x 600, 600 by 1200,
1000 * 2000 or higher.
2. What is the maximum resolution?
Maximum resolution also known as interpolation resolution, it is between the adjacent pixels increasing number of colors or grayscale average
method.Interpolation algorithm to increase the number, but it can't add the real image detail, because of
This, we should attach more importance to optical resolution.
3. What is the color resolution?
Color resolution and color depth, color, pattern, color or color order, in a word are markers of scanner resolution color or gray degree of
exquisite, it is the unit of bit (bit).
Color a precise meaning is to use how many bits to represent a pixel scanning.For example: 1 bit said only black and white pixels, because the
number in the computer using binary, 1 bit said only two values (21 = 2) and 0
1, they represent black and white.8 bit can represent 256 grayscale (28 = 256), they represent different grey scale from black to white.24 bit
can represent 16777216 kinds of colors (224 = 16777216), red (R
), green (G), blue (B) each channel occupies the first 8 bit respectively, each with 2 ^ 8 = 256 level, the general said more than 24 bit colour
for true color, and of course use 30 bit bit, 36, 42 bit model.
Theoretically, the more color figures, the color is more realistic, but for non-expert users, due to the computer processing power and output
printer resolution limit, the pursuit of high color a wave will only bring to us
Fee.
4. What is the TWAIN?
TWAIN (Technology Without An Interesting Name) is a common follow the specifications of the scanner manufacturer, is a standard interface
between the application and the image capture device.As long as is to support the TWAIN driver
Can be started in accordance with the specifications of the scanner.
Can start the scanner in the Microsoft Word, for example, is to open the menu bar "insert" to "image", "from the scanner.Using the method of
Adobe Photoshop can do it, too, are open
"File" to "Import", "Select TWAIN_32 Source".
5. What is the interface way?
Interface way to connect (interface) refers to the scanner and the computer using the interface type.Commonly used with USB interface, SCSI
interface and parallel printer interface.Fastest SCSI interface transmission, and use parallel printer
The interface is more convenient.
