2 Analog Image Processing
2.1 Outline
Analog image processing is performed by the CCD PCB and the reader controller PCB,
which has the following major functions:
[1] Drives the CCD.
[2] Corrects the gain in the CCD output, corrects offset.
[3] Performs parallel/serial conversion of CCD output.
[4] Performs A/D conversion of CCD output.

2.2 Dr iving the CCD

The machine’s CCD sensor is a single-line linear image sensor, and is composed of 7450
pixel photo cells.
The signals subjected to phtoconversion in the light-receiving segment are sent out in two
types of analog signals: even-number (EVEN) pixels and odd-number (ODD) pixels.
