6. Clean the area immediately in front of the scanner, where the scanned sheet rests before scanning. 7. Reconnect the printer's power cable, turn on the power switch at the rear, and turn on the printer using the Power key. Calibrate the scanner Your scanner has been calibrated at the factory, and theoretically CIS scanners do not need to be recalibrated during their lifetimes. Nevertheless, because of environmental changes, your scanner may start showing image defects that can be easily corrected by recalibrating the scanner. The whole procedure takes less than 10 minutes, and you are recommended to recalibrate the scanner whenever you see some undesired artifact or a lack of quality in scanned files or copies, bearing in mind the limitations of CIS technology already explained in this guide. If you perform calibration successfully and still have concerns about the image quality, see Scanner troubleshooting on page 118; alternatively, you may want to consider buying a CCD scanner. To calibrate the scanner 1. Clean the scanner. See Clean the scanner's glass plate on page 183. 2. Go to the front panel and tap , then Scanner preferences > Calibrate scanner. 3. Follow the instructions in the front panel. The supplied maintenance sheet required to perform scanner calibration looks like this: Load the maintenance sheet into the scanner face up, centered and with as little skew as possible. Once the calibration is finished, the maintenance sheet should be carefully placed into its solid cover, and saved in a fresh and dry place. Otherwise, it could be damaged, which could affect the operation of your scanner in the future. Check that the maintenance sheet is not dirty, wrinkled, scratched or folded before calibrating the scanner. If necessary, call your support representative and ask for a new maintenance sheet. If calibration fails 1. Ensure that the printer is turned on and ready for normal operation. 2. Ensure that the scanner is working correctly. To test it, scan a small document to file. 3. Ensure that the scanner is clean before calibration. If in doubt, clean the scanner and restart the calibration process. 4. Eject and reload the calibration sheet, checking that it is clean, in good condition, face up and perfectly centered in the scanner. ENWW Calibrate the scanner 185
