A. Outline
The optical system consists of the scanning lamp, lens and mirrors. When scanning a
reflective materials such as papers , the original is exposed to the light of the scanning lamp in
the scanning unit. The reflected light of the original forms an image on the photosensitive

When scanning transparent material such as films, Light of the FAU lamp in the Film
Adapter Unit transmits the film. The transmitted light forms an image on CCD.
