- 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

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.

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.
