1) Forward Movement during Image Scan
During image scan, operation of the contact image sensor (CIS) is controlled by controlling
the motor as shown below.

Movement distance
[1] Acceleration area: The motor accelerates to the speed specified for each mode.
[2] Runup area: A margin to stabilize the speed.
[3] Image read area: The image is read at a constant speed.
[4] Deceleration area: Upon detection of the trailing edge, the motor decelerates rapidly and stops.
2) Backward Movement after Image Scan
After image scan, the carriage moves back to the contact image sensor (CIS) shading
position at the constant speed (123 mm/sec).
