Calibrating the
scanner

Calibration optimizes the optical system of the scanner in order to
achieve the best overall quality of images. Calibrate the scanner at least
once a day or whenever it is powered on. To calibrate the scanner:

1. If the scanner is not on, turn it on. When one of the LEDs is

illuminated, the scanner is ready.

2. Select Setup>Calibration. The Calibration dialog box will be

displayed:

3. Click Calibrate. As the scanner is calibrated, messages will be

displayed in the Action box. Upon successful calibration,
Calibration Succeeded will be displayed.

If calibration was unsuccessful, the message Calibration Failed
will be displayed. Be sure that all cables are connected securely
and calibrate again. If calibration fails again, contact your system
administrator.

4. Click OK when finished.

NOTE: The default is to have Perform Pixel Correction enabled. If

Perform Pixel Correction is turned off, image quality may not be
as expected.
