Calibrating the scanner The Kodak i1800 Series Scanners allow you to perform an Image
calibration (black-and-white, color, grayscale) and UDDS calibration
(multi-feed detection). Calibration optimizes your scanner to achieve
the best image quality and feeding performance. Your scanner is
properly calibrated when you purchase it, therefore, frequent calibration
is not necessary or recommended. Only calibrate the scanner when
prompted to do so.
Before calibrating the scanner, clean the scanner (see the procedures
outlined in Chapter 5, Maintenance). Failure to clean the scanner
before calibrating may cause image quality issues.
Use the calibration target provided with your scanner. Be sure to use a
good, clean calibration target. Additional calibration targets can be
ordered. Refer to the “Supplies, consumables and accessories” section
in Chapter 5 for ordering information.
