  • Patent number: 5189528
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus with a plurality of line sensors comprises a reference level adjusting circuit for adjusting a level of a dark output outputted from one of the line sensors to a reference level, and a level difference adjusting circuit for progressively adjusting to a minimum a dark output level difference between the reference level adjusted line sensor and a second line sensor adjacent to the former sensor, a dark output level difference between the second line sensor and a third line sensor adjacent to the second line sensor, and so on. When three or more line sensors are used, a level of a dark output outputted from one of the three line sensors which is located at the center of a sensor array of the three sensors is adjusted to the reference level. Alternatively, a level of a dark output outputted from one of three line sensors which is located at one of the ends of a sensor array of the three line sensors is adjusted to the reference level.

  • Patent number: 5140445
    Abstract: An image sensor is operable in a read state, a rest state, and a stand-by state. Control signal generating means generate a control signal. The control signal has a first constant preset level during the read state, a second preset level during the rest state, and alternates between the first and second levels at a duty ratio during the stand-by state. Drive circuit means transfer current to the image sensor in response to the control signal. Therefore, current is continuously transferred to the image sensor during the read state, no current is transferred during the rest state, and current is intermittently transferred to the image sensor at the duty ratio during the stand-by state.
