The adjustmentis designed for service mode and is used upon installation of the machine, after replacementof the scanning lamp, or when correcting changes in the intensity of the scanning lamp oc-curring over time.3.2.3 Shading CorrectionThis correction is executed each time an original is scanned. The density of the standardwhite plate is measured and the result is compared against the target value stored in theshading correction circuit. The difference is used as the shading correction value, which willbe used to correct the variation in CCD pixels, thereby ensuring a specific level of imagedensity.F03-302-01Download Free Service Manual at http://printer1.blogspot.com
