Topic: Calibrating the scanner

You should calibrate the scanner whenever any of the following occurs:
    1. The colors of the scanned image do not look correct, or the scanned image is all black/dark.
    2. You move the scanner to another computer, or switch to a different scanner on the computer.

How to Calibrate:
 
Method 1
  1. Plug the scanner into the USB port of the computer, and install the scanner drivers if needed.
  2. XP: Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Printers and Hardware -> Scanners & Cameras
      VISTA: Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Scanners & Cameras
      WIN 7: Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Devices & Printers
  3. Right click on the BizCardReader/DuplexScan scanner icon and select Scan Properties.
  4. Select the Calibrate tab, and click Calibrate to start the calibration procedure.

Method 2
If you use this method, we recommend that you use the included ScanToFile application to perform the calibration. However, most other Twain compliant applications will also work.
1. Start up the Twain compliant Application (e.g. ScanToFile) which you use for scanning documents.
2. In the Twain Application:
    (a) Select the BizCardReader/DuplexScan scanner.
    (b) Enable the option (if any) to allow the scanner to display its Scanner User Interface.
3. Activate a scan to acquire the image a card from the scanner. The Scanner User Interface should pop up.
4. In the Scanner User Interface, and click on the Calibrate button to begin the calibration process.
