Calibrating the Scanner

The scanner requires two types of calibration:

Focus calibration

adjusts the positioning of the scanners optics for

each zoom level. If your scans are coming out unfocused or at slightly

the wrong size, then you may need to make a new focus calibration to

adjust the zoom mechanism. The focus calibration is stored in the

scanners flash PROM, so it is preserved when you move the scanner to

a new computer. See "Focus Calibration" on page 21 for more

information.

White calibration

is only required for reflective scans (it is done

automatically for transparencies). During calibration, the scanner

scans a white target to establish the white point along the full length

of the scanners CCD. The results of the white calibration scan are

saved on your computers hard disk, so you must make a new white

calibration if you move the scanner to a new computer. See "White

Calibration for Reflectives" on page 22 for more information.

Both of the calibration procedures are simple and are initiated from the
FlexColor

program.
