Selecting the
language display The scanner may have been configured at installation to allow use of a
second language in the status display. The language used (French,
German, Italian, Spanish, or other) is defined during installation. If
available, the alternate language display may be accessed using
function code F19.
Calibrating the
scanner Calibration sets the intensity of the lamps, which contribute to the
overall quality of the scanned document image.
The scanner should be calibrated:
• at least once a day
• if image quality is poor
• after changing lamps
Calibrate the scanner using a calibration target (sheet of paper) that is:
• Blank
• Clean
• Matte finish (not glossy)
• White or the same color as the background color of the documents
to be scanned. When using a duplex-defined application mode,
make sure that both front and rear colors of the calibration target
correspond with the front and rear colors of the documents to be
scanned. If you are scanning a variety of colored documents, use a
white calibration target.
• Wider than the documents you are going to scan (i.e., t o scan 8.5 x
11 inch (216 x 279 mm) portrait orientation documents, the
calibration target should be wider than 8.5 inches (216 mm). The
recommended width for the calibration target is 12 inches
(300 mm).
To scan 11 x 17-inch (280 x 432) documents, the calibration target
should be wider than 11 inches (279 mm) but not wider than 12
inches (305 mm).
• Between 12 and 25.5 inches (305 and 648 mm) long.
For your convenience, 12 x 12-inch calibration targets
(Part # 986527) are supplied with the scanner and are also available
from Parts Services, 1 800 431-7278.
To calibrate the scanner:
1. Verify the power switch is on and a normal operating status display
is displayed.
2. Press CAL on the control panel. A message will be displayed
prompting you to feed the calibration target.
3. Insert the calibration target into the feeder.
When calibration is successful, the status display returns to a normal
operating display.
