The GP215/GP200’s AE may be ‘priority on
speed’ (default) or ‘priority on image quality’.
(Here, the discussions are on ‘priority on image
quality’; for ‘priority on speed’, see p. 3-32.)
In ‘priority on image quality’, the density cor-
rection curve is varied according to the type of
original.
In ‘priority on image quality’, the scanner is
moved forward to suit the size of the detected
original, thereby executing full scanning for mea-
suring the density of the entire original.
This way, the density of the background and
the density of the image are measured to classify
the original into any of the following three types:
q
Background Type Original
Originals which are white or light in density
carrying text.
w
Reversal Type Original
Originals which are colored or light in density
carrying light text or reversed text.
e
Other Originals
Originals with little variation in density (e.g.,
photos).
Depending on the type of original, one of the
following three AE tables is selected to generate a
correction table to suit the original for density cor-
rection.
You may adjust the “priority on image” function
in service mode (*3*); see p. 3-205
When AE is executed using the ADF or the
RDF, AE is initiated for each original which is
picked up.
In page separation, a signal AE scan is used
to check the density of all originals for the selec-
tion of an AE table.
