Glossary (Scanning)
C
Canon ColorGear color matching
Color management system for high-speed, high-precision color processing using
Canon’s own color management technology. Canon ColorGear is compatible with the
industry-standard format “ICC Profiles” and enables high-precision color management
using the properties of color devices specified in color profiles. The system is used in
many Canon products.
crop
Operation for selecting parts of an image within a rectangle. You can use the crop button
in the ScanGear MP Toolbox to select a part of a preview image, preview again the part
you have selected and scan.
D
dpi (dots per inch)
Number of dots per inch. Unit for measuring resolution of a monitor or printer.
G
gamma correction
Method for changing the brightness of an image. With gamma correction, the brightness
of parts of an image in the middle of the tonal range is changed without changing the
lightest or darkest areas of the image, which means you can change the brightness of
an image while maintaining contrast.
grayscale
A method of presenting a black-and-white image using medium tones.
M
multi-page PDF
Several scanned documents saved as one PDF. Each document will become one page of
the PDF.
O
OCR (Optical Character Reader)
Device for reading characters optically. System for extracting information in a text
format from information in the form of a graphic such as hand-written or printed
characters which have been scanned with a scanner. You cannot edit text scanned with
a scanner because it is in a graphic format, but with OCR software you can convert to a
text file and then edit the text with word-processing software.
P
PDF (Portable Document Format)
Document format of Adobe Systems. Using the Acrobat Reader viewing software, the
document always appears in the same way regardless of the viewer’s computer
environment.
The MP Toolbox can save a scanned document as a PDF document. The characters in a
document are recognized as text information and held in the PDF file so that you can
search a PDF with simple keywords.
preview
Provisional scanning and display of the document you are about to scan before you
actually scan it. If the preview scan looks different from what you want, you can change
the settings, display the preview again and confirm before scanning.
