3-2) The machine executes an external light search: for main scanning direction, it turns on the xenon lamp to check its light (reflected) at 4 points using the CCD;
for the sub scanning direction, the machine checks the state of the original sensor.
4) ADF Cover Fully Closed (5 deg or less).
The machine checks for a change in the output levels of the sensors for 2 sec after the ADF open/closed sensor of ADF side has identified the ADF as being
"closed"; the machine assumes the absence of an original at points without a change.
The machine then identifies the size of the original based on the combination of changes at 5 points.
At stream reading from the ADF, the presence/absence of dust is detected at the stream reading positions on the copyboard glass. According to the detection result,
the original reading position is changed, or the image correction is executed to avoid dust appeared in the image.
