Calibrating the scanner
The Flextight X5 scanner requires two types of calibration The Flextight X1 only requires one:
•Both scanners require focus calibration. Focus calibration adjusts the positioning of the scanners’ optics for each zoom level. If your scans appear unfocused or are 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 retained when you move the scanner to a new computer. See Focus Calibration on page 12 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. See White Calibration for Reflectives on page 13 for more information.
Both of the calibration procedures are simple and are initiated from the FlexColor program.
