CHAPTER 4 IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM
Shading Correction
1. Offset Correction
Turns the minimum outputs of the CCD while the
fluorescent lamp is off to '0'.
2. Scanning Lamp Intensity Adjustment
Turns on the fluorescence lamp, and adjusts its
activation voltage so that the maximum output of the
CCD in response to standard white paper will be
'255'.
3. Offset Correction Value
Stores the difference between '0' and the output of
each CCD cell while the fluorescent lamp is off.
4. Target Level Correction Value
Stores the difference between light reflected by
standard white plate and standard white paper.
Determining the Shading Correction Value (for each
copy)
1. Offset Correction
Stores the difference between '0' and the output of
each CCD cell while the fluorescent lamp is off, and
the value will be used as the correction value (for
correction of variation among the cells).
RAM
2. Gain Correction
Turns on the fluorescent lamp, and compares the
CCD outputsgenerated by the light reflected by the
standard white plate and the light reflected by
standard white paper for storage in memory; the
difference will be used as the correction value (to
correct thedeterioration of the fluorescent lamp).
If a faulty image is noted after executing
COPIER>FUNCTION>CCD>CCD-ADJ, enter the
value recorded on the service label.
For details of execution, see VIII. "Service Mode" in
Chapter 13.
