7.3 Calibrate the Scanner
Basic and color calibration
Calibration tools: Maintenance Sheet
Clean the scanning area and align the camera.
Before
you calibrate, make sure that you have gone through the first two
C’s of maintenance – Cleaning the scan area and Camera
Alignment. An unclean scanning area or unadjusted cameras will
give you imprecise calibration results. The steps described here
require that you have installed the Maintenance software that
came with your scanner.
0 Scanner should be warm.
Make sure that the scanner has been
turned on for at least one hour prior to calibrating.
Slight light intensity changes and camera shifting can occur just
after turning the scanner on and the warm-up time will ensure that
light conditions and camera heights have stabilized.

2 Start calibration in the scanner maintenance wizard.
Normally
you will enter the steps for calibration directly from Camera
Alignment/Stitching through the Scanner Maintenance Wizard. If
you have just aligned the cameras, then leave the Maintenance
Sheet as it is in the scanner and press
Next
. However, if you have
terminated the program before calibrating, start the Scanner
Maintenance utility, insert the Maintenance Sheet and select the
Skip to Calibration
option.
