The original is illuminated by the exposure lamp (a xenon lamp). The image is 
reflected onto a CCD (charge coupled device) on the lens block via the 1st, 2nd, 
and 3rd mirrors, and through the lens on the lens block. 
The 1st scanner consists of the exposure lamp, a reflector, and the 1st mirror. 
The exposure lamp is energized by a dc supply to avoid uneven light intensity while 
the 1st scanner moves in the sub scan direction (down the page). The entire 
exposure lamp surface is frosted to ensure even exposure in the main scan 
direction (across the page). 
The light reflected by the reflector is of almost equal intensity in all directions, to 
reduce shadows on pasted originals. 
When the optional optics anti-condensation heater is installed on the left side of the 
scanner, it turns on whenever the power cord is plugged in.
