recited in Appellant’s claim 5. In particular, the Examiner
argues that Cullen teaches producing a set of correction values
for correcting the vertical alignment error. The Examiner points
to Cullen’s figure 2C, items 201 through 209, and column 6 lines
43 through 58. The Examiner also argues that Cullen teaches
modifying said each block scanned in accordance with the stored
correction values. The Examiner points to Cullen’s figure 2C,
items 209 through 211, and column 6, lines 43 through 58. See
page 5 of the Examiner’s answer.
Appellant responds to the Examiner’s argument that Cullen
teaches shifting each dot of the dot image formed by the
rasterized block according to a set of pre-stored correction
values as recited in Appellant’s claim 1 on page 6 of the reply
brief. In particular, Appellant points out that the portions
relied on in Cullen by the Examiner are directed to skew
detection, estimation and correction and a description of the
advantages of the document segmentation method in terms of
improved system memory requirement and higher processing speed.
