          Application 09/132,751                                                      


          reached as determined by S54.  See pages 8 and 9 of Appellant’s             
          specification.                                                              
               The independent claims 1 and 5 present in the application              
          are reproduced as follows:                                                  
               1. A method for correcting vertical alignment error in a               
          shuttle scanner, comprising the steps of:                                   
               (a) initializing a block count of a document to be scanned             
               to a value of N;                                                       
               (b) scanning the Nth block and rasterizing the scanned block           
               into a dot image;                                                      
               (c) shifting each dot of the dot image formed by the                   
               rasterized block according to a set of pre-stored                      
               correction values; and                                                 
               (d) incrementing the block count and performing said steps             
               (b) through (d) until an end of the document being                     
               scanned is reached.                                                    
               5.  A method for correcting vertical alignment error in a              
          shuttle scanner, comprising the steps of:                                   
               (a) producing a set of correction values for correcting the            
               vertical alignment error;                                              
               (b) storing the correction values;                                     
               (c) scanning each block of a document to be scanned; and               
               (d) modifying said each block scanned in accordance with the
