5.2 Analog Image Processing
5.2.1 Outline
Analog image processing is performed by the CCD/AP PCB, which has the following
major functions:
[1] Drives the CCD.
[2] Corrects the gain in the CCD output, corrects offset.
[3] Performs A/D conversion of CCD output.

5.2.2 Driving the CCD
The machine’s CCD sensor is a single-line linear image sensor, and is composed of 7450
pixel photo cells.
The signals subjected to phtoconversion in the light-receiving segment are sent out in two
types of analog signals: even-number (EVEN) pixels and odd-number (ODD) pixels.
