Calibration
…………………
Calibration is a critical step in setting up your scanner, and is required before performing your first
scan. It allows the image quality to be “balanced” for your computer and scanner combination. If at
any time you switch the computer that you use with your scanner, or change scanners, you are urged
to re-calibrate. Calibration is not required before every scan.
a)
Launch the ScanBasic
®
application by double-clicking the icon on your systems tray (Fig.10) or the
shortcut icon on your desktop.

c)
Use the special black and white calibration sheet that was included with your scanner. Make sure the
black bar(s) are facing down and note the direction of the arrows for proper insertion. If a message
indicating successful calibration does not appear, then re-calibrate.
