Abstract: In a reading device, a light transmissive member has a front surface on which an original is placed. A peripheral member is adjacent to the light transmissive member, and includes a back surface in which a reference hole is formed. The reference hole includes a first edge and a second edge intersecting with each other. A reading sensor faces the back surface of the light transmissive member and the back surface of the peripheral member. The controller controls the reading sensor to read a reading range including the reference hole to obtain a read image, and determines a reference position in the reading range based on the read image. The reference position is determined to an intersection between the first edge and the second edge. The controller sets a reading start position based on the reference position.

Abstract: An image joining method for a scanner that scans and transfers image data to a terminal is provided. During scanning and data transfer, when the image data stored in a register is full, an image processor stops the scanning of a linear photodetector. Meanwhile, a matrix photodetector fetches and stores the image of a code strip. Then, the photodetectors are moved backward a distance larger than that being required to be accelerated forward when the scanner resumes scanning. After the data in the register being transferred and cleared, the linear photodetector resumes scanning at a normal moving speed. The code strip image is further fetched and compared with the stored one to get a joining point of scanned image data. By the joining point, the new and prior image data portions are joined and the scanning proceeds, and joined image data will not be overlapped or broken.

Abstract: To make it possible to improve a printing speed.When printing a plurality of printing sheets 14, it is possible to decrease the time for generating correction data by using a pair of correction data values to print the printing sheets 14. Therefore, it is possible to decrease the time for printing each printing sheet 14 even compared to the case of a method for generating correction data for each printing sheet 14. As a result, even when the number of sheets to be printed is large, it is possible to improve a printing speed. Moreover, when meandering states of the printing sheet 14 are changed, it is possible to prevent disorder of a printed image due to meandering of the printing sheet 14 for a long time by newly generating correction data. Furthermore, by generating (updating) only a part of correction data when newly generating the correction data, it is possible to decrease the time for generating the correction data and improve a printing speed.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus for reading by an image sensing element an original held by an original holder while performing pixel shifting operation detects the feature point of the original holder, specifies the original position on the basis of the detected feature point, and performs the first reading of the original. After reading, the apparatus shifts the relative positions of the optical image of the original and the image sensing element by a predetermined amount. Then, the apparatus detects the feature point of the original holder again, specifies the original position on the basis of the detected feature point, and performs the second reading of the original. The apparatus synthesizes the two read original images to generate one image.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for correcting an alignment error of a scanning head of a shuttle type scanner capable of compensating an error occurred in a manufacturing process of a product or the alignment error generated by an impact applied in use. When an alignment error correction mode is selected at a preset time, the scanning head is moved to a position facing a correcting pattern formed on a correction plate. The correcting pattern is scanned through the scanning head and the alignment error is calculated from the scanned pattern image data using a predetermined operation function. After performing a first correction to the calculated alignment error by moving first and last pixels of the image data, a second correction to the alignment error is performed by applying a preset correction function to remaining pixels excluding the first and last pixels. As a result, unnecessary operations occurred in correcting the alignment error mechanically are removed, thereby increasing the productivity. In addition, since the alignment error within the permitted limit is corrected by the software, a stable image data without any distortion can be obtained.
