.1 Preliminary Maintenance – scanner setup

On scanners:
When you have setup your new scanner and verified your installation, it is important that you
your first maintenance session before working with the scanner. Shipping and transportation
an affect the cameras and it is therefore highly recommended to calibrate. But before you do
o, you must thoroughly clean the scanner. Preliminary Maintenance is just the very first
ession of regular scanner maintenance and involves the same steps. Follow the instructions in
e next section under

.2 Regular Scanner Maintenance
egular scanner maintenance is a sure way to minimize costly downtime. The three routine
aintenance procedures
cleaning
,
camera alignment
and
calibration
will improve image
uality and reduce your service costs.
OTE
: Camera Alignment is not relevant with 18” scanners.
he maintenance functions are closely entwined and they should all be performed in a single
aintenance session, starting with cleaning the scan area and ending with calibration. The
ason for this is simple. If you clean the glass or adjust the cameras then you will have
hanged conditions in the scanning area and will need to calibrate in order to readjust black,
hite and color interpretation. This works the other way as well – scanner calibration must
lways be preceded by cleaning and camera alignment to get reliable calibration results.
canner Maintenance is very easy to perform and most of it is completely automatic. After
anually cleaning the scan area, you just insert a Calibration Sheet, and start the Scanner
aintenance program.
n some scanner models you can activate the Scanner Maintenance program from the iJET
anel. On others you must run the Scanner Maintenance program from a PC that recognizes
e scanner and has WIDEsystemNET and Scanner Maintenance software installed. See the
llowing section on
Running the Scanner Maintenance Program
for details..
