White point calibration ensures consistent color balance over time.
Periodic manual white point calibration makes the automatic calibra-
tion before each scan go faster.
For a more detailed explanation of white point calibration – see
page 197.)
This routine checks the geometrics of the mirror system and is nor-
mally only necessary at the time of installation or if you have physically
moved the scanner.
Focus calibration is usually only necessary for drum scanners that have
a removable drum. It ensures optimal adustment of the basic focus
distance for each drum.
To learn more about focus calibration – see page 206.)
IT8 calibration creates an ICC color profile for your specific scanner, to
be used as an input profile for device-independent color management.
For a more detailed explanation of IT8 calibration – see page 212.)
