7.4.1 MECHANISM


SBU

Functions

Performs Black level correction and White level correction, Creating the SBU test pattern, and A/D conversion.

This machine is equipped with a short focus scanner and the SBU is located on the scanner carriage.

Operation overview

Samples 2 analog signals (ODD, EVEN) from RGB output from the 3-line CCD, and converts them to digital signals by an A/D converter. The digital signals are output to the IPU.

SP correction value storage

The SBU correction value is stored in an EEPROM on the BCU.

Execute the following SP settings when the scanner carriage is replaced. (Lens block is located on the scanner carriage.)

SP4-871-002 (Distortion Correction Distortion Initialization)

SP4-880-001 (Dot shift amount between R Line and G Line).

SP4-880-002 (Dot shift amount between G Line and B Line).

SBU Test Mode

There is an SP code to create a test pattern which can be used as a diagnostic tool to troubleshoot problems in the SBU:

SP4-699-001 (SBU Test Pattern Change) Pattern 1: fixed value

Pattern 2: main scanning gradation pattern Pattern 3: width scanning gradation pattern

Pattern 4: main scanning/width scanning lattice pattern SBU has a function to generate four test patterns.
