ADF black line
Image processing has been improved with this equipment, which applies optimal image
processing to the text part and the photo part respectively. Improvement in image processing,
however, highlights imperceptible dusts at the original scanning position, which may appear
as a line on the image.

[Cause]
At stream reading with the ADF, imperceptible dusts (paper dust, toner, dust, etc.) adhere
and remain at the original scanning position, which causes a black line on the original image.
(Occurrence frequency is roughly 3/10,000 of scanning documents)
The dusts causing a black line are delivered outside the ADF together with the scanning
original; therefore, there will be no black line with the next original.
