Calibrating the
Scanner
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. When you do calibrate
(e.g., after changing a lamp), be sure the lamps have been on for at
least three minutes, then follow this procedure:
1. Clean both imaging guides.
Refer to “Imaging Guides” in Chapter 5, Maintenance.
2. Wait three minutes after the pod has been closed to allow the lamps
to warm up.
3. Obtain a proper calibration target—use a clean, blank, white sheet
of paper with a matte surface (not glossy).
Make sure that the target is wider than the documents to be
scanned. It is best to use the 30.5 cm (12 in.) square calibration
target available from Kodak (Cat. No. 127-1436).
4. Open the Diagnostic Software.
5. Click on Calibrate in the Diagnostics dialog box.
