Abstract
A method is disclosed. For example, the method executed by a processor of a multi-function device (MFD) includes generating an alignment image based on execution of a copy function while an alignment mark is attached to a continuous velocity transport (CVT) platen glass of a CVT of the MFD, determining a misalignment of an illumination profile area, a position of a sensor, and the CVT based on the alignment image, and providing a corrective action to perform an alignment of at least one of the illumination profile area, the position of the sensor, and the CVT via a display of the MFD.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- generating, by a processor of a multi-function device (MFD), an alignment image based on execution of a copy function while an alignment mark is attached to a continuous velocity transport (CVT) platen glass of a CVT of the MFD;
- determining, by the processor, a misalignment of at least one of:
- an illumination profile area, a position of a sensor, or the CVT based on the alignment image;
- and
- providing, by the processor, a corrective action to perform an alignment of at least one of:
- the illumination profile area, the position of the sensor, or the CVT via a display of the MFD.
A multi-function device (MFD), comprising:
- a display;
- a continuous velocity transport (CVT), comprising:
- a stationary lamp;
- and
- a CVT platen glass;
- a platen glass;
- a movable carriage including a light source and one or more reflectors;
- a sensor;
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executed by the processor to:
- generate an alignment image based on execution of a copy function while an alignment mark is attached to the CVT platen glass;
- determine a misalignment of at least one of:
- an illumination profile area, a position of the sensor, or the CVT based on the alignment image;
- and
- provide a corrective action to perform an alignment of at least one of:
- the illumination profile area, the position of the sensor, or the CVT via the display.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processor of a multi-function device (MFD), the instructions cause the processor to:
- generate an alignment image based on execution of a copy function while an alignment mark is attached to a continuous velocity transport (CVT) platen glass of a CVT of the MFD;
- determine a misalignment of at least one of:
- an illumination profile area, a position of a sensor, or the CVT based on the alignment image;
- and
- provide a corrective action to perform an alignment of at least one of;
- the illumination profile area, the position of the sensor, or the CVT via a display of the MFD.
