The machine uses the dust detection control mechanism to check for dust on the platen glass and the ADF platen roller, thus preventing reproduction of dust, if any,
in output images.
1. Timing of Control
- at the end of a job
- between sheets (for every sheet)
F-5-26
*Executed only if dust has been detected at all points (A, B, C, D, E) during the previous job. In such a case, the machine will use the point subjected to least dust,
and executes correction before starting a read operation.
2. Particulars of Control
- At the End of a Job (changing the stream reading dust read position)
The machine measures the light reflected by the surface of the platen roller, and detects the presence/absence of dust with reference to its intensity. If the presence
of dust is detected, the machine moves to the next point (5 points max.; A -> B -> C -> D -> E).
The machine uses the first point at which the absence of dust is detected as the read point for the next job.
