CALIBRATION Calibration is critical because it allows the image quality to be "balanced" for your computer and scanner combination.

See "Setting Administrator Privileges" p. 17 for further information. This calibration process uses the special black and white calibration sheet (see picture on page iv) that was included with your scanner (Visit http://www.brothermobilesolutions.com to order additional calibration sheets and cleaning kits). When calibrating, make sure the side with the black bar is facing down and note the direction of the arrows for proper insertion. If you lose or forget the black and white calibration paper that was included with your scanner, you can use any plain "White" (the brighter the "White" the better) piece of letter size (or A4) printer paper to perform the calibration.

CALIBRATION
Calibration is critical because it allows the image quality to be “balanced” for your computer
and scanner combination.
If you switch the computer that you use with your scanner or
change scanners, you must calibrate again.
Note that you must be logged in as an Administrator to calibrate the system.
See “Setting
Administrator Privileges” p. 17 for further information.
This calibration process uses the special black and white calibration sheet (see picture on page
iv) that was included with your scanner (Visit
to
order additional calibration sheets and cleaning kits).
When calibrating, make sure the side
with the black bar is facing down and note the direction of the arrows for proper insertion.
If you lose or forget the black and white calibration paper that was included with your scanner,
you can use any plain “White” (the brighter the “White” the better) piece of letter size (or A4)
printer paper to perform the calibration.
Simply fold the paper in half and insert the end
opposite the fold into the scanner first when calibrating.
The following message will be
displayed (see below).
