Abstract

The density of pixel samples across a document is determined by employing a constant scanner sensing head sampling rate and driving the scanner head movement at a rate directly correlated to the preselected density level. The scanner operator determines the particular density and introduces a signal to motor drive controls to cause it to move across the image at the preselected rate.
