Camera alignment & calibration
(height alignment, stitching, basic calibration, and color
calibration)
You are now required to calibrate the scanner. For this you
will need the scanner maintenance sheet, found in the
protective folder shown above.
Replace the cover onto the leg. Connect the power cable extension, and then connect to a
power outlet.
Switch on the scanner and leave it to warm up
for some minutes until the green (ready status)
light appears.
When the green (ready status) light has appeared, switch on
the touch screen.
Important: when setting up for the first time, make sure
that the scanner is turned on for at least one hour
before moving on to the next step of camera alignment
calibration. Slight light intensity changes and camera
shifting can occur just after turning the scanner on, and
warm-up time will ensure that light conditions and
camera heights have stabilized. During this time if you
are installing the MFP unit, go and start the printer
assembly.
To start the maintenance procedure:
a) On the touch screen, press the Setup tab.
b) Press the Scan Options button.
c) Press the Scanner Maintenance button.

centimeters and inches by sliding it out, turning it over, and
reinserting it.
The scanner is connected to the printer by inserting the
FireWire cable where shown above.
