This is for a translation on scanners. In this instance I am dealing with a scanners that use moving camera- and light units.
Line, lens and light are rigidly coupled and moved over the document as a single unit.
Somit wird das **Bild der Zeile** parallel über die Vorlage geführt, bei einigen Systemen auch die Vorlage unter der Zeile hindurch. Der Ort des **Bildes der Zeile** auf der Vorlage wird möglichst schmal und intensiv beleuchtet.
The "Zeile" mentioned is the "line" as in a station.

line picture
Scanners can operate by a CCD sensor that scans by lines. (CCD sensors convert light into electrons.) Some scanners move the sensor over the image while others move the image. So a scanned image is really an image (picture) of lines.

Comment: "Thanks Billcorno. I went with line image rather than line picture but your reply was also helpful hence the points."
