White point calibrating your drum scanner

NOTE: If the scanner has a removable drum, carry out focus calibration first, if necessary. This

should also be done for the ScanMate 3000 the first time you calibrate.

1 • Make a preview scan.

2 • When the Preview window appears, draw a crop frame that is about 10-20 mm (0.5"-1")

square, making sure that it includes only the clear drum or white paper.

3 • Choose Calibrate White from the Calibration menu.

4 • Click on OK to confirm.

• Transmission: scan a clear area of the drum.

• Reﬂection: scan a piece of paper that is at least as white as the whitest part of

the originals you plan to scan.

The calibration will automatically be carried out, and a message will

appear to tell you whether it was successfully completed.
