Calibration
The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) program
included with your ArtixScan F1 is used to calibrate
your scanner to achieve consistent and accurate color.
Two industry-standard IT8 color targets are included
for calibration: a Reflective target to calibrate the
upper scan bed for scanning photos; and a
Transparency target to calibrate the lower scan bed for
scanning film.
You will be asked to calibrate your scanner the first
time you run ScanWizard Pro to try to scan. You may
skip calibration to proceed directly to scanning, and
then choose to come back at a later time to perform
calibration.
For more details on calibration, refer to the ArtixScan
F1 Supplement and see the
Using the Microtek
Scanner ICC Profiler
section.
