Shading Adjustment; Shading Correction - Canon iR2030 Series Service Manual

The CMOS sensor outputs are necessary even for the following reasons even when the density of the original is uniform:
(1) Variation in sensitivity among CMOS sensor pixels
(2) Variation in light intensity of rod lens array
The machine performs shading correction to even out the CMOS sensor output.
There are two types of shading correction: shading adjustment performed in the Service mode and shading correction performed for each job.

4.3.6.6 Shading Adjustment

iR2022i / iR2025 / iR2030 / iR2018 / iR2022 / iR2018i
The machine measures the density of the standard white plate, and stores the measured density data. It then processes the stored data to use it as the target value for

shading correction.

4.3.6.7 Shading Correction

iR2022i / iR2025 / iR2030 / iR2018 / iR2022 / iR2018i
The machine performs shading correction for each scan. It measures the density of the standard white plate, and compares the measured value with the target value
stored in the shading correction circuit to use the difference between the two as the shading correction value. The machine uses this shading correction value to
correct the variation among CMOS sensor pixels when scanning the original, thus evening out the image density level.
