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 that 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.

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
