10. APPENDIX C - MAINTAINING THE SCANNER

CALIBRATING THE SCANNER

With time, the scanner colors detection tends to change to incorrect values. This
phenomenon affects the text detection accuracy as well as the resulted image quality.
To reset the scanner to the proper colors, the scanner needs to be calibrated.
How to calibrate?
To calibrate the ScanShell 800scanner, open the configuration panel's Image tab,
insert the calibration paper card that was part of the scanner package into the scanner,
and click on the Calibrate button. The ScanShell 1000 does not require a calibration
paper, just click on the Calibrate button.

CLEANING THE SCANNER

Cleaning the scanner improves the scan quality.
To clean the scanner:
open the configuration panel's Image tab click on the "Clean Scanner" button. Follow
the Cleaning Wizard instructions. This operation requires a cleaning sheet (supplied
with the scanner) and alcohol solution.
How to clean?
Scanner model ScanShell 800: Place the cleaning sheet (that come with the scanner
package) in the scanner tray, and click on the Clean Scanner button. The sheet is fed
back and forth through the scanner and cleans the scanner lens. Add a few drops of
alcohol for better results.
Scanner model ScanShell 800: Use a soft cloth to clean the scanner glass
surface.
Scanner model ScanShell 600: Unscrew the scanner cover (the screw is
located on the bottom of the device). Use a soft cloth to clean the scanner lens.
