The configuration of the system used to control the scanner motor is as follows; the motor driver on the interface PCB operates according to the signals from the
CPU to start/stop the scanner motor and to control the direction and speed of its rotation
1. Reverse Movement After a Scan
After an image scan, the No. 1 mirror base is moved in reverse as far as the shading position at 234 mm/sec regardless of the selected magnification.
2. Forward Movement During a Scan
During an image scan, the No. 1 mirror base is controlled at the speed indicated in the following figure; the No. 1 mirror base is moved forward at 325 mm/sec for
100% magnification.
