4 Image Processing
4.1 Outline
The machine performs image processing and correction in copier mode as shown in the
following block diagram.
The image data (analog signals) read by the contact sensor is converted into digital signals
by the analog processor PCB. The resulting image data is subjected to processing/correction
by the analog processor PCB and image processor PCB.
