Fast Scan / Slow Scan Directions
The diagram indicates the direction of the 2 scanning actions for each size CASSETTE:
• slow scan - the SCREEN moves vertically from up to down during scanning
• fast scan - the laser beam moves horizontally across the SCREEN at the same time it
moves down
The slow scan direction for CASSETTES is important, because problems in the slow scan
process can cause artifacts in the image. For example, banding artifacts can appear across
the SCREEN in the horizontal direction, but the cause of the artifact might be a problem with
the vertical slow scan motion of the SCREEN.
