The Uniformity test requires that the average gray level must be identical at various points across the scanned target. The most uniform scanners achieved ratings below five gray levels. Poor lamp quality, an old lamp, mechanical misalignment, and even dirt on the scanner's platen can cause nonuniform gray levels in the output.
Lower scores are better.
