6 COLOUR CALIBRATION (white balance)

The scanner will need to be colour calibrated after 30 minutes of being switched on. This

ensures that the scanner produces the correct colours across the scan. Calibration is an

operator initiated but automatic process taking a couple of minutes. Using the control

buttons move the carriage along the scanner so that both the tubes are at least 2"

(50mm) clear of the black edging strip. Position the Calibration Target over the scan head

making sure that the tubes are in the centre of the target (see below). Select the option in

ScanWorks’ Data Controls tab to carry out the white balance.

In order to achieve the best colour response from the scanner Colortrac

recommend that it should be left on continuously.

NOTE: The carriage will move backwards and forwards during the 'white' calibration. This

is normal and essential for correct operation of the calibration procedure.

7 Service Requirements on Tubes and Lubrication

The scanner will require a yearly service to ensure that it gives the best performance. The

details of this service can be obtained from your distributor. The scan head runner will

need to be lubricated 2 or 3 times a year using a small amount of lubrication oil to

maintain smooth operation.
