Abstract

Calibrating a white level in an image scanning device. A target white level is accessed. A high white level is determined for pixel data output by an amplifier. A gain adjustment to the amplifier is determined to correct a portion of an error between the target white level and the high white level. The gain adjustment is applied to the amplifier.
