Timer
The Timer tab allows you to program the scanner's internal clock that controls
your scanner's power-on and power-off schedule.
This feature allows you to start scanning without wasting time. Indeed, running
with the correct internal temperature is essential when making high-quality
scanning through sensitive CCD’s. Your scanner needs to warm up before it
can start scanning optimally. The Timer Settings tab lets you program the
scanner to automatically power on and warm up times most convenient for you
so it stands ready when you need it. You do not have to waste valuable time
waiting for your system to reach optimal conditions.

30 Scanner Maintenance User Manual
Scanner Maintenance program
Why maintain the scanner
Regular Scanner Maintenance is a sure way to minimize costly downtime. The
three routine maintenance procedures Cleaning, Camera alignment and
Calibration will improve image quality and reduce service costs.
These three maintenance functions are closely entwined and they should all be
performed in a single maintenance session, starting with cleaning the scan area
and ending with calibration. The reason is that if you clean the glass or adjust
the cameras then you will have changed conditions in the scanning area and
will need to calibrate in order to readjust black and white. This works the other
way as well - scanner calibration must always be preceded by cleaning and
camera alignment, to get reliable calibration results.
Use the software
The Scanner Maintenance software is a wizard which guides you through the
whole process of maintenance. All you have to do is follow the instructions on
the screen.
For more details about the procedure, please refer to the Scanner Maintenance
leaflets provided with the software.
Scanner Maintenance is performed in three consecutive steps:
■ Cleaning of the scan area
■ Camera alignment
■ Calibration (Basic calibration and Colour calibration)
Scanner Maintenance 31
Cleaning To clean the scan area, use the special cleaning cloth provided with
the SMK. When not in use, cover the scanner with the plastic dust cover.
Note: Make sure the scanner is powered off before covering it with the plastic
cover. Otherwise, the temperature of the scanner would be too high.
Camera alignment Camera alignment must be performed to get invisible
transitions between camera range borderlines. The procedure slightly differs
according to your type of scanners:
■ some models have a single fixed camera. Therefore, they do not require
camera alignment. The maintenance wizard will automatically detect the
scanner model and skip the camera alignment step.
■ some models have two cameras, A, B starting from the right side of the
scanner. One is fixed and the other is adjustable.
Calibration After Camera alignment, the Scanner Maintenance program goes
straight to Basic (black and white point) and Colour Calibration (colour
scanners only) on its own. You don't have to insert extra sheets or find camera
positions on the scanner. The Maintenance program detects the scanner model
and makes all the necessary calculations.
Your scanner's Precision Colour system lets you calibrate on the field at any
time ensuring stable and predictable colour output. The scanner will be
calibrated to both sRGB and NTSC colour spaces using an ANSI IT8
calibration target.
32 Scanner Maintenance User Manual
IT8 calibration target
Mass production of IT8 Calibration sheets results in slight differences between
production batches. This means that the Colour Patch Reference values in one
batch of IT8 Calibration sheets do not necessarily match those in another
production batch.
Colour matching and calibration are optimal when using your IT8 Calibration
sheet with an IT8 calibration sheet reference data file corresponding to the
sheet's production batch. The Scanner Maintenance CD comes with a number
of these files that are installed with the maintenance program.
The IT8 sheet batch ID is contained in the bar-code on your maintenance sheet.
Your Scanner Maintenance program detects the batch ID so that it selects
automatically the right IT8 calibration sheet reference data file among the list
of files installed on your system.
Normally, this process is automatic. But in some cases, the Scanner
Maintenance program cannot find the matching IT8 calibration sheet reference
file. For example, you may have obtained a calibration sheet to replace your
original one that is newer than your Scanner Maintenance software version. In
such cases, the matching reference file will not have been delivered and
installed on your system.
The following dialog appears when the Scanner Maintenance program cannot
find the IT8 calibration sheet reference file that corresponds to the
maintenance sheet being used:
Scanner Maintenance 33
OK Selecting this button activates a search on the internet and downloads the
right IT8 calibration reference data file to your system. The action requires that
you are connected to the internet.
Use Standard IT8 file The standard IT8 file ‘IT8data.IT8’ comes with the
maintenance program and is installed on your system. The file can substitute
for the right IT8 calibration sheet reference data file but is however far from
optimal.
Browse This button lets you search for the corresponding IT8 calibration
reference data file on your file system if it is included on a floppy disk for
instance.
