ABSTRACT:
A scanner for scanning an image on a large-format medium and generating image information. The scanner includes a secondary substrate mounted to the frame and having a length spanning the width of the medium, and a plurality of sensor boards disposed on the secondary substrate. A plurality of sensor dies are mounted on each of the sensor boards. The scanner further includes a lens strip, mounted to the frame between the sensor dies and the moving means. Preferably, a die on each end of each sensor board overhangs the end of the board, and the sensor boards are mounted on the secondary substrate so that dies overhanging ends of the sensor boards are butted against each other. The sensor dies may be wired in groups, so that image information read from the sensors in a group passes through the same data path; image information is read from a first set of sensor dies, wherein only one sensor die from each group is in the first set; and immediately after reading image information from the first set of sensor dies, image information is read from a second set of sensor dies, wherein only one sensor die from each group is in the second set, and wherein each of a plurality of sensor dies in the second set is separated by at least one other sensor die from the sensor die in the first set that is in the same group.
