Performing a focus calibration
1 • Using the registration pins for the Bacher Control 2000 system, place
the Adjustment, Calibration & Test Target (PN 960-13-002-50) on the
mounting plate.
2 • Start up ColorQuartet, check that the preview type is set at
“Transmission,” and make a preview scan of the entire scan area.
3 • When the preview appears on screen, crop a small area (ca. 2 x 2 cm
or 1" x 1") in the part of the focus target with the parallel lines.
4 • Choose “Calibrate Focus” from the “Calibration” menu.
The calibration will be carried out, and a message will
appear to tell you whether it was successful.
5 • Click on “OK” to confirm.
Autofocus and Focus Elevation
AUTOFOCUS
Although the ScanMate F10 has a very high depth of field, ColorQuartet
includes an Autofocus function that lets you achieve perfect focus for each
individual scan. Autofocus may be particularly useful in connection with
the optional DustFree magnetic templates. Scanning will take a little longer
when Autofocus is activated.
NOTE: The Autofocus function looks for an area of the image that is
appropriately high in contrast for focusing. If it cannot find enough contrast,
the default value from the latest focus calibration is used and a yellow
warning triangle appears in the Jobs window to alert you.
