Why maintain the scanner
Regular Scanner Maintenance is a sure way to minimize costly downtime. The
three routine maintenance procedures Cleaning, Camera alignment and
Calibration will improve image quality and reduce service costs.
These three maintenance functions are closely entwined and they should all be
performed in a single maintenance session, starting with cleaning the scan area
and ending with calibration. The reason is that if you clean the glass or adjust
the cameras then you will have changed conditions in the scanning area and
will need to calibrate in order to readjust black and white. This works the other
way as well - scanner calibration must always be preceded by cleaning and
camera alignment, to get reliable calibration results.
Use the software
The Scanner Maintenance software is a wizard which guides you through the
whole process of maintenance. All you have to do is follow the instructions on
the screen.
For more details about the procedure, please refer to the Scanner Maintenance
leaflets provided with the software.
Scanner Maintenance is performed in three consecutive steps:
■
Cleaning of the scan area
■
Camera alignment
■
Calibration (Basic calibration and Colour calibration)
