This is part of the Auto Color Diagnosis Unit. It compares the RIP data for printing with a scan image of
the actual printed image in order to monitor printed images for defects such as dots, white spots and
streaks.
1. The Auto Color Diagnosis Unit creates a reference image from the RIP data (original print job data)
received from the server.
2. The machine prints the RIP data. (Normal Print)
3. The Auto Color Diagnosis Unit receives an image of the printed copy scanned by the line sensor in
the machine.
4. To detect print defects, the Auto Color Diagnosis Unit compares the image created in Step 1 with the
image received in Step 3.
5. The Auto Color Diagnosis Unit displays detected print defects on the Image Quality Monitor console
so the user can check them.
