Note: To keep the colors in your scanner consistent, you should perform color calibration on a regular basis. Professional photographers, graphic designers or others who require extremely precise color may wish to calibrate the scanner every time it is used. Before you calibrate Before calibration, make sure that the Scanner ICC Profiler program is successfully installed, and that the calibration target is placed on your scanner correctly. Proper positioning of the transparency target on the scanner is important for successful calibration, or calibration will not take place. [. . . ]
