CALIBRATION

Note: Calibration is critical because it allows the image quality to be “balanced” for your

computer and scanner combination. If you switch the computer that you use with
your scanner or change scanners, you must calibrate again.

Calibration can be performed on any TWAIN or WIA-compliant application. The
DSmobileSCAN II is such an application.


1. To open the DSmobileSCAN II application, you can either double-click the

DSmobileSCAN II shortcut icon on your desktop

or the “Taskbar tray” icon

usually in the lower right-hand corner of the Windows Desktop or you can press the button
on the top of the scanner.

2. Once you have launched DSmobileSCAN II (or any TWAIN/WIA application), select the

SCAN button and the step-by-step calibration instructions will appear in a succession of
prompts.

This calibration process uses the special black and white calibration sheet (see picture on
page iv) that was included with your scanner (Visit

http://www.brothermobilesolutions.com

to order additional calibration sheets and cleaning kits). When calibrating, make sure the
side with the black bar is facing down and note the direction of the arrows for proper
insertion.

When the calibration process has been completed successfully, you will see the message
above; otherwise you will need to re-calibrate again.

 If you switch scanners or your image quality has become unsatisfactory, you can re-calibrate

your scanner by choosing the CUSTOM button in the DSmobileSCAN II

window and

select the Calibrate button.

 If you lose or forget the black and white calibration paper that was included with your

scanner, you can use any plain “White” (the brighter the “White” the better) piece of
