Conguring the Software
In order to scan with your scanner driver, you must
first configure the TWAIN-compliant application
software that came with your scanner or which was
purchased separately.
The configuration process only has to be done
once. After the conguration process is complete,
the TWAIN driver will control all interactions be-
tween your scanner and the host program. To con-
gure the software:
1. Make sure the scanner is still on.
2. Launch Windows.
3. Launch the host application software that came
with the scanner.
4. Open the host applications Select Source
command (usually under the File menu) and
choose Select Source to display the Select
Source dialog box.
5. From the list of sources, choose your scanner
Setting Up the Scanner
as your image source and click Select. You will
return to the main screen of the host application.
Software conguration is now complete.
Network Scan
Enable users to search the installed A3 scanners in
the network and acquire images from this network
scanner.
Note: You must install TCP/IP Internet Protocol
and complete its required installation and setting.
To use the Network Scan:
1. When using any application program to Select
Source, choose Scanner-Network.

start scanning and acquiring the images from the
host computer through the network.
Note: If you are acquiring the above source
(Scanner-Network) for the rst time, the
software will process the search in the
network so as to nd the host computer that
has installed this scanner. The dialog box
representing searching process appears.
You can also call out this dialog box by select-

Position the Document
For the best possible image scans, it is important
that you position your documents correctly and
carefully. For this tutorial, use a paper-based docu-
ment such as a color photograph. Procedures for
document positioning are as follows:
1. Lift the scanner document cover.
2. Place the document face down on the glass and
in the upper center corner.
3. Slowly lower the scanner document cover,
making sure the document remains in position.

Introduction
Using the Calibrator
The Calibrator is a color calibrating program
provided with your scanner. It allows you to ad-
just the color of the scanned images so that the
appearance of the image closely matches the colors
of your original document.
All of the Calibrators functions are contained in
easy to use graphical interfaces based on the tradi-
tional Windows format. Calibrating the scanner (or
scanner plus transparency adapter) is a simple task
that takes only minutes to complete.
About the Target Image
The target image included with this package is to
be used to create a scanner prole. The target
image is very important and must be handled with
care, or the calibration of your scanner may be ad-
versely affected.
Calibrator
Chapter Three

A3 Scanner User Manual (PC)

We provide you the target image that can be used
to calibrate your scanner, the Reflective IT8. It
allows color matching for photographs and docu-
ments and is used in conjunction with your scanner.
Target Image Handling:
Do not touch the image with your ngers. Han-
dle it by the edges.
Keep the image away from light when not in use.
This includes sunlight, interior light and light
from the scanner lamp. Long exposure to light
will fade the colors and affect accurate calibra-
tion.
Return the calibration image to its protective
sleeve immediately after use.
Store the calibration image by placing it face-
down, away from light, in a cool, dry place.
A good place to store it (both for protection and
ease of memory) is inside the scanner box itself.
Calibrating and Applying
Calibrating the Scanner
Once you have successfully installed the calibra-
tion software, you are ready to calibrate your scan-
ner and create a scanner prole.
To Create a Scanner Prole:
In Advance:
To ensure the quality of calibration, please do not
open the document cover during calibrating.
1. Make sure that your scanner is properly
connected and powered on.
2. Turn on the PC and launch Windows.
3. Place the appropriate target image face down in
the top center portion of the scanner glass. Make
sure that the target image is correctly aligned on
the scanner glass with the IT8 indicators and TA
indicators.

7. After the scanning is done, a Dialog box
appears, asking you to start analyzing the
scanned picture (i.e. IT8 card).
Note: This dialog box shows whether youve
put the card in the right position. If not, go back,
reposition the card and scan again.
8. A scanner prole appears and shows the result of
calibration. You can choose whether to Finish,
Retry or Abort.

The image will be scanned and a prole of the
calibration information will be saved to your
hard disk. This prole will be used by the com-
puter to automatically match the colors between
scanned images and the monitor.
Note: After you have successfully created a
scanned prole, you can match the colors
of your scanned images with this prole by
checking the Color Match box on the
scanner TWAIN interface (located in the
Main Folder.)

Ensure that your flatbed scanner operates at
optimum performance by observing the following:
Cover the scanner when its not in use to avoid
dust contamination
Avoid environments where the scanner would be
exposed to direct sunlight (or any other source of
excessive heat) for long periods of time
Protect the scanner from potential liquid spills
such as soda, coffee, tea, etc.
Operate the scanner on a level, well-grounded
work surface, free of excessive vibration
Be careful to avoid scratching the glass when
placing multi-page documents (bound by sharp
staples or paper clips) on the scan window glass.
Scratches on the glass will show up as unwanted
marks in scanned images.
Dont open the scanner case because there is
danger of electrical shock and there are no
customer-serviceable parts inside. For servicing
needs, call your scanner dealer for assistance.

Determining Error Messages
When the scanner is turned on, it will automati-
cally perform a series of self-diagnostic tests. The
LED power indicator located on the scanners front
panel should tell you if there is something wrong
with the unit. Upon power up, the LED ready indi-
cator lights up and ashes for about a minute and
then remains lit. The scanner lamp will also be on
and will remain on until you power off the scanner.
LED Ready Indicator Messages
1. If the LED ready indicator light continues to
ash beyond one minute, call Technical Support.
2. If the LED ready indicator remains lit but the
scanner lamp is dim, call Technical Support.
Other Troubleshooting

correct:
The USB cable is rmly plugged into the
scanner and the computer.
The power cord is rmly connected to the scan-
ner, plugged into an appropriate power outlet,
and the power switch is turned on.
