Calibrating the scanner The Flextight X5 scanner requires two types of calibration The Flextight X1 only requires one: • Both scanners require focus calibration. Focus calibration adjusts the positioning of the scanners’ optics for each zoom level. If your scans appear unfocused or are slightly the wrong size, then you may need to make a new focus calibration to adjust the zoom mechanism. The focus calibration is stored in t

Focus calibration The Flextight scanner uses an adjustable zoom and focus mechanism to optimize its scanning resolution for each of the original formats it can handle. If you suspect your scans are not as sharp as they should be, then you may need to calibrate your scanner. Note that you must not calibrate the scanner every day. It is intended that the scanner is calibrated not more than once every three months. In most

White calibration for reflectives The Flextight X5 scanner uses a white reference to make sure that all elements in the scanner’s CCD react consistently to light brightnesses. The scanner has been calibrat- ed at the factory, and the calibration data is stored in the scanner’s flash PROM. As the scanner ages, the properties of the light tubes may change slightly. Therefore, you must redo the white calibration every six months

The light tubes The Flextight X5 contains two light tubes: one for illuminating reflective originals from above, the other for shining light through transparencies from below. The Flextight X1 has only one light tube for transparency scanning. NOTE! The two lamps are of different types and are not interchangeable. Replacing the light tubes If scans are suddenly coming out black (or all white if you are scanning negatives), the
