Calibrating the Scanner

 

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:

English

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.

Focus sheet

PN:40900026, rev. 1.10

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.
