Calibrating the Scanner

The scanner requires two types of calibration:

•Focus calibration adjusts the positioning of the scanner's 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 scanner's 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 scanner's CCD. The white calibration is stored in the scanner's flash PROM, so it is preserved when 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.
