Abstract: A scanner for digitizing a document includes a digitizer for digitizing the document into a first color space; a circuit for converting the digitized data into a second color space having a luminance channel and two chrominance channels; a multiplexer having text, approximate actual color of a uniform area and a predetermined color as input for selecting either the text, approximate actual color or the predetermined color as outputs; and multiplexer control input which determines which of the outputs will be selected as actual output based on a uniform area of the document.

Abstract: An automatic method for processing a color form includes: a) scanning the color form in color space, forming a digital color image, and converting the digital color image into a two-dimensional binary image in chrominance space; and b) conducting a color form dropout process.

Abstract: Photoreceptor charge control for obviating the adverse effects of photoreceptor variation inherent in the photoreceptor as the result of the manufacturing process. The voltage values around the periphery of the photoreceptor commonly referred to as the Vc belt signature are measured. The readings for each of the ESVs are averaged (to find the mean) and the deviations from the mean are smoothed using a 41-term weighting function that properly removes the high frequency reading spikes while retaining the low frequency belt signature. Center weighted averaging of 41 points (n, . . . n±20) where n is a measured point on the photoreceptor that is averaged with the previous twenty readings together with the next twenty readings is initiated a few mm past the photoreceptor seam and ends a few mm before the seam—no phase shift. The readings are taken approximately every 3 mm around the periphery of the photoreceptor.
