II. OPTICAL SYSTEM

A. Outline
The optical system consists of the scanning lamp, lens and mirrors. When scanning a
reflective document, the scanning lamp in the scanning unit exposes the document and
focuses the reflected light from the document on the light-sensitive device CCD (charge-coupled
device) via the lens and mirrors.
When scanning a film, FAU lamp in the Film Adapter Unit transmits the film and focuses the
transmitted light on the CCD.
When using FARE system, infrared LED transmits a film after FAU lamp does, and FARE unit
operates to scan the film.
