Kodak A-61555 manual Image Calibration

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.

Image Calibration

IMPORTANT: If the White Background Accessory is installed, it must be replaced with the black background strips, and the scanner must be restarted prior to calibration.

1.Touch Calibrate. The Calibration screen will be displayed.

2.Touch Image Calibration to display the Image Calibration screen.

3.Place the calibration target in the input elevator.

4.Touch OK. The calibration results will be displayed.

5.When calibration is finished, the Idle screen will be redisplayed.
