ABSTRACT:
An image reader for an image forming apparatus has an array of CCD sensors in the form of chips which are arranged in a zigzag configuration along an image reading line. A reference white plate is located in association with the position of and outside of the effective image reading range of one of two CCD sensors which are situated at opposite ends of the array. The CCD sensor with which the reference white plate is associated produces a reference white signal by reading the reference white plate. The output gain of this CCD sensor is controlled on the basis of the reference white signal. The reference white signal is added to output signals of the other CCD sensors in the form of a pilot signal, whereby the output gains of the other CCD sensors are controlled.
