Focus Calibration

The Flextight 646 scanner uses an adjustable zoom and focus mechanism

to optimize its scanning resolution for each of the original formats it can

handle. If you suspect your scans are not as sharp as they should be, then

you may need to calibrate your scanner. Note that you must not calibrate

the scanner every day. It is intended that the scanner is calibrated not

more than once every three months. In most cases, this procedure will

never be necessary.

Use procedure below to make Focus Calibration:

1. Locate the "Focus sheet" that came with your scanner. It is a 8 x 9 cm

(3" x 3.5") square of transparent film with a black image on it.

2. Load the sheet into the 6 x 6 original holder with the lines pointing

towards the scanner (vertically). Place the sheet as straight as

possible. Use the scanner's light table grid and the corners marked

on the sheet to help align it.

3. Select Focus Calibration from the Maintenance menu.

4. Click on the Calibrate button, and the focus calibration starts.

5. When the focus calibration is finalized, the focus calibration window

closes again.

Your scanner is now calibrated for all resolutions and for both

transparent and reflective originals.
