5.3.2 IPU FRONT/BACK TEST PATTERNS: SP2902-001,002
• Front side pattern (SP2902-001). Generated by the IPU in place of data
scanned from the front side of an original (CCD→SBU). Generated in the
scanner image correction circuit.
• Back side pattern. (SP2902-002. Generated by the IPU in place of data scanner
from the back side of an original (CIS→SBU). Generated in the scanner image
correction circuit.
The IPU test patterns are primarily used for design purposes. However, they can
be used as follows:
• To confirm that the IPU is processing images correctly.
• To fine tune the image processing parameters
• To help trace the causes of poor images. For example, if the IPU test patterns
are normal when the machine is producing poor quality images, then the problem
must be after the IPU.
