panel is used to control scanner operations such as loading document
selecting features, and changing setup options.

Serial interface
A standard computer interface. Information is transferred between
devices over a single wire (although other wires are used for control).
With a serial interface, an interface cable greater than 3 meters (10
feet) can be used. This is often necessary in networking
environments, where the scanner may be shared.
Smoothing
Smoothing eliminates jaggies from slanted lines and curves. Irregular
convexities are deleted and irregular concavities filled in. This is
useful in OCR applications, for example.
Temporary error
A status which the operator can recover, such as paper jam, hopper
empty, cover open, pick miss.
