7. APPENDIX C - MAINTAINING THE SCANNER

CALIBRATING THE SCANNER

With time, the scanner colors detection tends to change to incorrect values. This

phenomenon affects the text detection accuracy as well as the resulted image quality. To

reset the scanner to the proper colors, the scanner needs to be calibrated.

How to calibrate?

To calibrate the ScanShell 800scanner, open the configuration panel’s Image tab, insert the

calibration paper card that was part of the scanner package into the scanner, and click on

the Calibrate button. The ScanShell 1000 does not require a calibration paper, just click on

the Calibrate button.

CLEANING THE SCANNER

Cleaning the scanner improves the scan quality.

How to clean the scanner:

Open the configuration panel’s Image tab, and click on the “Clean Scanner” button. Follow

the Cleaning Wizard instructions. This operation requires a cleaning sheet (supplied with

the scanner) and alcohol solution.

Scanner model ScanShell 800/800N: Place the cleaning sheet (that came with the scanner

package) in the scanner tray, and click on the Clean Scanner button. The sheet is fed back

and forth through the scanner and cleans the scanner lens. Add a few drops of alcohol for

better results.

Scanner model ScanShell 1000: Use a soft cloth to clean the scanner glass surface.

Scanner model ScanShell 600: Unscrew the scanner cover (the screw is located on

the bottom of the device). Use a soft cloth to clean the scanner lens.
