Abstract: An image processing apparatus, method and computer program product, wherein an initializing process of a scanner is performed in a short period of time when a return operation from a shutdown state is performed. A carriage of the scanner stays in a white level range when the main body is put in the shutdown state. Thus, the scanner immediately makes an automatic adjustment to its image reading level when the return operation from the shutdown state is started. The carriage detects an original position for a scanning operation while it moves to a standby position after the automatic adjustment is made. Thereby, the initializing process of the scanner is performed eliminating an operation of the carriage in which the carriage moves to the white plate range to read the white plate.

Abstract: An image scanner having an improved scanning quality is disclosed. Two different color blocks having an interface therebetween are provided on the document platform of the image scanner. The image pickup device passes by the color blocks prior to the document area so that color calibrations and/or error detection can be performed before the scanning operation is performed. By this way, the color data such as the brightness of the obtained image can be compensated, and the deflection rate and/or the amplification error of the image pickup device can be corrected.

Abstract: The present invention provides a resolution adjustment method for adjusting the resolution of a scanning module. The scanning module is installed in a scanner for scanning a document and comprises a case with a line-shaped opening on its top for receiving light from the document, a sensor installed in the case and comprising linearly arranged sensing units for scanning the light from the document and generating correspondent image signals, a lens installed in the case for converging the light from the document to the sensor, and a mirror module installed in the case for passing the light from the document through the lens to the sensor. The resolution adjustment method provides the scanning module with a calibration picture for generating a calibration image which comprises two groups of parallel lines in two directions for calibrating the resolutions of the sensor in the two different directions. Then, the magnitude of the image is measured corresponding to the two groups of parallel lines and the position of the scanning module is adjusted until the resolutions represented by the image signals corresponding to the two groups of parallel lines are roughly equal.
