Scanner Calibration PIKO

The scanner pixel correction (PIKO) process:

Calibrates the light path of the lamp up to the CCD

Balances the pixel sensitivity of the CCD for each pixel

Defines the illumination strength (if the lamp is replaced, for example – this
influences the lamp, filter, mirror box, and film mask)

Defines the crop to be used for the film mask (illumination on the CCD chip)

The system automatically performs a PIKO:

During system startup (because any film mask could be inserted when the system
is started)

Whenever you change the film mask

Whenever there are considerable fluctuations in light and temperature (light path or
CCD)

IMPORTANT: Do not change the film mask during a PIKO. This interrupts the crop

definition process, resulting in incorrectly exposed prints (brightness,
colors) and possible prints with white borders.

After a successful PIKO, the status line shows the message Terminate Scanner
calibration.

You can also start PIKO manually. Normally, this is only required if you receive a
message that the automatic PIKO was not terminated successfully. Otherwise, the
prints may get white borders.
