Calibrating the
scanner
There are two types of calibration that can be performed on the i600
Series Scanners: Image calibration and Ultrasonics calibration.
•
Image calibration:
optimizes the optical system in your scanner in
order to achieve the best overall quality of scanned images. Frequent
calibration is not needed or recommended.
IMPORTANT: If the White Background Accessory is installed, it must be
replaced with the black background strip, and the
scanner must be rebooted prior to calibration.
•
Ultrasonics calibration
: ensures that the ultrasonics system that
detects multi-feeds and document edges is properly adjusted for best
performance. Frequent calibration is not needed or recommended.
Image calibration
Use the calibration target provided with your scanner. Be sure to use a
good, clean calibration target. Additional calibration targets can be
ordered. See Chapter 5, “Supplies and accessories” for ordering
information.
NOTE: The screens shown in this section are for the TWAIN Data
Source. Your scanner may be different.
