1) Interpolation Processing
When scanning at higher resolution, the image quality tends to be reduced. This is because
one pixel output from the CCD is treated as two image data in the horizontal scanning
direction, and one line output of the CCD is treated as two image data in the vertical
scanning direction. The interpolation processing is performed to prevent the image quality
reduction. Figure 2-15 shows a change in image density by the interpolation processing.
