Microtek and Artix scanner. Why do you need the Scanner ICC Profiler? For each Microtek and Artix scanner, a generic factory-set ICC color profile is built in and included for use with the scanner controller program — in this case, ScanWizard Pro.
Note: The Scanner ICC Profiler program should have been installed at the time you performed software installation procedures (discussed earlier in the manual). If for some reason you have not installed the Scanner ICC Profiler, follow the steps below to install the program.
7. Calibration 1. Turn on your scanner and let it warm up for about five minutes. 2. Place the target inside the scanner. 3. Launch the Scanner ICC Profiler calibration utility. The screen below appears. A. Choose the media type. Select Reflective to calibrate in reflective mode, or select Positive to calibrate in transparency mode.
To resize the selection, move the cursor to any corner of the frame; the pointer is changed to a double-headed arrow. Hold down the mouse, drag to form a new selection, then release the mouse. When the target image is selected, click the Scan button to scan the target.
When the process is finished, a message appears, giving you the results. • If the process was successful, a custom scanner ICC profile is saved automatically to your system’s ColorSync Profiles folder. Exit the Scanner ICC Profiler now, and use the new scanner profile with ScanWizard Pro to scan excellent color images.
