2. Priority on Image Quality Mode
a. AE_SLOP
For priority on image quality mode, an AE table is selected based on a study of the original density his-
togram prepared during a pre-scan.
The slice level distinguishing the data into text (black) and background (white) can be adjusted under
'AE_SLOP' in service mode (ADJUT; *3*).
AE_SLOP: A higher setting makes the images darker; between 1 and 19. (left of Figure 2-241)
b. AE_LIGHT/AE_DARK
The AE table selected as a result of a pre-scan may be corrected to suit the preference of the user.
AE_LIGHT: A higher setting emphasizes the background of the original; a lower setting, on the other
hand, de-emphasize the background of the original; between 0 and 40 with the default at 20. (upper right
of Figure 7-00)
AE_DARK: A higher setting will increase black; a lower setting, on the other hand, will decrease black;
between 0 and 40 with the default at 20. (Figure 2-241)
Slide level dividing white area (background) and black area
(text; may be changed under 'AE_ SLOP' of 'ADJUST' in service mode (*3*)).
