no, these don't help your scanner. the feed is used to position the 
scanning head at the white calibration strip. This is(should not) be 
needed for your scanner.

Because the rest of the clock registers are setup incorrectly. This 
probably leads to the CCD bar not getting correct pulses to move the 
electrical charges. No charge means black pixel. It should be possible 
to simulate the behavior when the clock generators are switched to 
"automatic", but this default behavior is not well documented.

Attached is the result of the dark part of a shading calibration run. 
When doing offset calibration, most of the time i only see a single 
line(sometimes with a wraparound into the next line).

Note that the image is nearly symmetrical to the diagonal axis, meaning 
two consecutive bytes are uncorrelated. The result of the white part 
shows a larger band, typical around 20 pixels width, but with a lot of 
speckles(which is in no way an indicator of problems).

Regards,
   Pierre
