2.3.1 Scanner Carriage Mechanism
2.3.1.1 Scanner Carriage Unit Overview
The Scanner Carriage Unit is constructed of a CIS Board (including linear CCD), Rod
Lens Array, LED (light source), etc.
 CIS Board
This takes the light information read from the document by the Rod Lens Array
and converts it to digital information using the linear CCD.
 Rod Lens Array
Many rod-shaped lenses are arranged in parallel, and the upright multiple images
of each lens is overlapped to form a single continuous image. Compared to a
regular lens, this has the special ability to reduce the distances between images.
It can project at 1 to 1 size for imaging a linear CCD with a width identical to an
A4 size document.
 LED
The unit uses an LED for an exposure light source. Using an LED eliminates the
need for an inverter board, and power consumption is reduced.
