Unsuccessful calibration
Preparing documents for scanning
Document orientation
If calibration is not successful, a message appears in the status display.
You may need to:
∙Verify you are using a clean, blank sheet of paper (at least 12 inches in length) as a calibration target. The paper must be wider than the documents being scanned and at least 8 1/2 inches long.
∙Verify there is not a document already in the document path. (Refer to the section entitled, “Clearing the document path” in Chapter 7.)
∙Clean the imaging guides. (Refer to the section entitled “Cleaning the imaging guides” in Chapter 5.)
∙Calibrate the scanner again. If calibration fails again, change the lamps. (Refer to the section entitled, “Replacing the exposure lamps” in Chapter 5.)
If you have done all of the above and calibration still fails, contact your service representative.

∙Straighten wrinkled edges and tape any torn documents.
