Calibrate the scanner before first time use or if
scanning quality is observed to deteriorate e.g. The scanned
image is distorted, areas of uneven color appear in the
scanned image, other unsatisfactory results (but excluding
problems related to media quality, such as folds, ceases or
paper curl).
The scanner calibrations consist of a:
Basic Calibration
Color Calibration
Before beginning calibration, clean the transparent
contact plates located inside the scanner and the surface of

(This does not indicate a defect).
Check that there are no vertical streaks, such as white
patches in the scanned data. (Streaks occur when
calibration is not performed correctly due to

calibration sheet for dust and dirt.
Click the [Execute] button and then follow the
instructions displayed on the screen. (same as step (c)
to (e))
Perform step (h) to (j) once more and verify the

2. Color Calibration
Display the Scanner menu.
Select Color Correction
Click the [Scan] button.
Insert the color correction sheet into the scanner
as instructed.
Click the [OK] button to start scanning.
The scanned data is displayed when scanning is
completed. Colors may differ slightly for individual
