The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) is a scanner calibration and profiling utility
program exclusively designed for Microtek scanners. Used together with the color
calibration target, the ICC Profiler determines the color attributes of your scanner
accurately, then generates an ICC profile tailored exclusively for the scanner you are
using under ScanWizard Pro.
The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler utility is included in the CD-ROM that contains
ScanWizard Pro. Select the Microtek Scanner ICC Profile option to install.
Included in your scanner package is an industry-standard Kodak transparency color
target (Kodak Q-60E1, size 4" x 5").
The calibration target is very delicate and must be handed carefully, as follows:
• Gently remove the target from its protective sleeve and avoid touching the target
image surface.
• When not in use, keep the target in its sleeve and away from light and heat.
: To keep the colors in your scanner consistent, you should perform color
calibration on a regular basis. Professional photographers, graphic designers or
others who require extremely precise color may wish to calibrate the scanner every
time it is used.
Before calibration, make sure that the Scanner ICC Profiler program is successfully
installed, and that the calibration target is placed on your scanner correctly.
Proper positioning of the transparency target on the scanner is important for
successful calibration, or calibration will not take place.
1. Place the template on the scanner glass surface.
The calibration window of the template should point to the front of the scanner,
and the side (which reads "Microtek" logo) should face up.
2. Place the target face down on the scanner glass surface. Note that the side of the
target (with the woman's portrait) is positioned toward the right side of the
scanner.
