NOTE: To scan the target
with the TMA 1600-III, put the
Black Plate on top of the target
to cover the target and shield
unwanted light.
Positioning the Target
Proper positioning of the target on the scanner is important for successful calibration.
Incorrect positioning of the target will result in an unsuccessful calibration.
There are a wide selection of calibration targets in the market; thus, we only list two
examples to demonstrate how to position IT8 target on the scanner.
A. Positioning the Reflective Target
(LaserSoft IT8, size 10 x 15-cm)
1. Place the target face down on the scanner glass surface, making sure that the
target is positioned correct side up toward the front of the scanner.
2. Using the U-shaped ruler as a point of reference, adjust the target so that it is
positioned at the center of the scanner glass bed.
