2.3 Scanner Mechanism Operation
2.3.1 Mechanism
The figure below describes how the light reflected off the document passes through the
lens and reaches the CCD and how the CCD reproduce an image. The CCD reads the
light, converts light into various analog data according to the strength of the light, and
sends this various analog data to the MAIN board. The analog data received by the
MAIN board is converted into digital data, and after being processed, the digital data is
sent to the host.
