4.5.1 Picture Element Correction and Scanner Gamma Correction
(1) Picture Element Correction
The Picture Element Correction circuit does two things.
1. Completion of the Scan Line Correction process
The discrepancy in the spacing of the RGB signals from the CCD in the
subscan direction is corrected by the line correction circuit in the scanner
section (refer to 3-6. Scan Line Correction). However, if the correction data
corresponding to the magnification ratio is not an integer, then further
correction is needed to synchronize the RGB signals.
2. Correction if the CCD is not perpendicular to the light
If the CCD board is not perpendicular to the light axis, the position of each
pixel is different from the original image position. This difference becomes
larger towards the ends. Under this condition, vertical black lines (in the
subscan direction) at the left and right edges of the original are colored
because the C, M, and Y toner dots are not properly positioned. (An example
of this is the vertical lines at the right and left edges of the C4 color chart.)
Therefore, the CCD line spacing is also corrected here. The target areas for
this correction are shown above. The green CCD line is taken as a standard,
and the ends of the red and blue lines are corrected. The vertical line
correction level can be changed using SP mode (SP 4-932-1 to 4-932-4).
