Digital Image Processing Embedded in the Hardware
With image enhancement processing supported directly in the scanner
hardware, the PANORAMA can perform highly advanced digital image
processing at great speed.
The built-in advanced Digital Image Processing (DIP) performs image
enhancement in real time. With the unique Area Diffusion Logic
processing - ADL+ Error Diffusion halftoning, the PANORAMA can
scan and print even the most demanding B/W and graytone
documents with subtle differences between shades of gray maintained
in the printed copy.
The PANORAMA supports Dual 2D-Adaptive processing where the
best built-in enhancement features are combined. The combinations
are incorporated in special copy modes for normal drawings, sepias,
