5.2.3 Gain Correction and Offset Correction of the CCD Output
To correct discrepancies in the efficiency of photoconversion among pixels, the analog
video signals from the CCD are corrected: in gain correction, the rates of amplification are
standardized; in offset correction, on the other hand, the output voltage in the absence of in-
coming light is set to a specific level.
5.2.4 A/D Conversion of the CCD Output
The analog video signals of odd-number and even-number pixels after correction are con-
verted into 8-bit digital signals that correspond to specific pixel voltage levels by the A/D
converter.
COPIER/ADJUST>ADJ-XY>ADJ-Y (CCD read start position adjust-
ment)
It is used to adjust the parameter used determining the read start position in
main scanning direction.
Range: 0 to 400
(A change by ‘12’ results in a shift of 1 mm.)
