a. Controlling the Motor When Scanning an Image
When scanning an image, the motor is controlled as follows, thereby controlling the
movement of the No. 1 mirror base unit:
[1] Acceleration: Used to accelerate until the speed most appropriate to the read ratio is
attained.
[2] Approach run: Used to ensure that speed stabilizes.
[3] Image read: Used to read the image at a specific speed suited to the read ratio.
[4] Deceleration: Used to enable the scanner to speed down and stop promptly, starting at
the end of the image.
