which the documents are automatically fed, rather than manually fed,
into the document feeder.
Crop (auto crop) — this software option automatically crops every
page to its original size by looking for page or document borders.

the feeder at one time.
Duplex scanner — a scanner capable of scanning both sides of a
document in a single pass through the scanner.
Error message — a message displayed in the User Utility dialog box,

through the scanner.
Paper transport — the mechanical system for moving a document

small objects. The higher the resolution, the smaller the object the
scanner can reproduce. Resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi).

Simplex scanner — a scanner designed to scan one side of a
document as it passes through the scanner.
