10.3 Standalone Scanning System (No External Interface)
Although this is not as frequently encountered as Point and Shoot processing, a standalone scanning
system is sometimes desired. One such application that users may want a standalone system is for
research and development. With this type of setup, the user is limited to running the scanner though a
computer. Because the scanners have a large processing window, sometimes motion is not required.
Such a system allows users to quickly and effectively perform process development while keeping the
system relatively simple.
