Appendix D Glossary
Control panel — interface located on the front of the scanner that is
used to perform basic scanning functions and to signal scanner status
through the use of LEDs, pictograms and text.
DPI (dots per inch) — a measurement of the ability of a scanner to
reproduce small objects. The higher the dpi, the smaller the object the
scanner can reproduce. Also known as resolution.
Host PC — computer used to communicate with the scanner in order to
scan documents.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) — type of light source used in the scanner,
both for image capture while scanning and illuminating indicators found
on the control panel.
Multifeed (MF) — occurs when more than one document is fed through
the feeder at one time.
Optics — refers to the following scanner components: imaging guides,
camera glass covers and sensors. This term does not include LEDs.
Paper jam — refers to a single document that fails to pass through the
scanner transport and exit into the exit tray.
Scan source — the scanner selected for use through the scanning
application on the host PC.
Ngenuity Operator Utility (NOU) — the software that resides on the
host PC. It provides and monitors scanner connectivity, scanner status
and alerts. Allows you to set some of the scanner’s configuration
parameters.
Straight pass-through — alternative transport path that allows
scanning of thick card stock, ID cards, etc. Documents enter the
transport from the feeder table and exit out the back of the scanner.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) — a data transmission system that
operates between the scanner and the host computer system.
VRS (VirtualReScan) — VRS is an electronic check-point for scanned
images. As images pass through the scanner, VRS performs a multi-
point inspection of each document. VRS automatically checks and
adjusts for alignment (skew), brightness, contrast and image clarity.
VRS Interactive Viewer — VRS-enabled control window where you
can access advanced features of the scanner.
