In '97-'98 they were probably trying to describe a tri-linear array so I'd take that as "stripes," and bet my own money on it. Almost every scanner out at that time used tri-linear arrays. The price-point of the HP would prevent them from profitably installing multiple CCD's and it's not a multi-pass scanner (as the Agfa Horizon was).
