Abstract:
In one example, a document scanner has a fixed-position scan bar and a built-in translatable calibration target. The scan bar has a linear array of imaging elements aimed in an imaging direction. The calibration target is spaced apart from and parallel to the linear array, and has a planar surface orthogonal to the imaging direction spanning the length of the linear array. The target is translatable during a calibration in a direction in a plane of the surface.

Claim (Index 24):
A method of calibrating a document scanner without a calibration document, comprising:\n controllably moving a flat translatable calibration target built into the document scanner a predetermined distance relative to a fixed-position scan bar of the scanner; during the moving, repeatedly imaging the calibration target with the fixed-position scan bar such that each imaging element of the fixed-position scan bar captures signals for a zone of a flat uniform color surface of the calibration target; and processing the captured signals from each imaging element to calibrate the scanner.
