Tests and Troubleshooting Network Performance Test It is sometimes desirable to check network performance if the scanner seems to be operating slowly. The scanner itself has a gigabit network interface and can transfer data at a sustained rate of almost 100Mbytes per second. This is far more than most standard PCs can handle and comes very close to the maximum bandwidth of the gigabit network.
Type in a valid IP address in the same network and subnet. Picture 75: Network Analyzer Parameters screen Check the results in the following screen. Single digit millisecond response times are good, the example shown is from a well structured gigabit network. Picture 76: Network Analyzer Result screen Page 66 Setup and Assembly Manual...
One or more CSTT test targets are included in the initial scanner shipment. They are used to troubleshoot various types of image quality problems. Any time Image Access support is contacted, you will be asked to provide a test scan of the CSTT target.
Scan IT8 Test Target The test scan of a standard IT8 test target is used to generate an ICC profile for the specific scanner. The scan can be provided to the Image Access Customer Service Portal http://service.imageaccess.de and the system will generate an ICC profile. This profile can then be uploaded into the scanner.
Recovery Function The recovery function resets all parameters of the device to factory defaults after a fatal system breakdown. The recovery key is necessary to invoke the recovery procedure. The key is delivered with every device. It is marked with the label Recovery. The recovery function resets the IP address to the factory default value of Important: 192.168.1.50.
