Glossary G-7

Single-bit image

Single-bit images are the simplest kind of image, using just one bit of data to

record each pixel. Single-bit images come in two types: line art , and halftone.

sRGB

sRGB is a standard RGB color space, which is endorsed by a wide variety of

hardware and software manufacturers, and is becoming the default working

color space for many scanners, low-end printers, and software applications, as

well as the Internet.

Text scanning

One of the most common uses for scanners, as it eliminates the need for

retyping. Scanners scan text through the use of OCR software and deliver text

to your word processor.

Terminator

A special resistor pack or a block of resistors that tells the computer where the

end of the SCSI chain is and ensures the electrical integrity of the bus signals.

Terminators act as a filter to clear out electrical "noise" caused by multiple

cables and devices.

Transparent Media Adapter (TMA)

A scanner accessory used for scanning transparencies, slides and filmstrips. The

TMA has a unique lighting device that prevents transparent originals from being

exposed to too much light and getting washed out as a result.

Twain

A software industry standard that allows software applications and hardware

imaging devices to communicate directly. ScanWizard 5-Advanced Control Panel

is a Twain-compliant program, which means it can be used with other Twain-

compliant applications like PhotoImpact SE. In practical terms, this means that

when a scan is performed through ScanWizard 5, the scan is automatically

placed inside PhotoImpact SE.

Zoom

The ability to magnify the view of an image in the preview window.
