Calibrating The Lamp - Nikon LS-3510 Software Reference Manual

Using The Macintosh Scanner Plugin
Just above, is a Reset button for the scanner. This issues the same INT
command that is displayed in the highlighted command line of Fig. 47. The TSO
button sends a short interface test routine which returns several bytes of data.
Clear Display removes all characters from the scrolling data window.

Calibrating the Lamp

Fig. 52
> Note The lamp should be calibrated when the scanner is first unpacked from the
shipping carton.
Thereafter, you can recalibrate whenever you change a lamp, or if you install
a 12-bit board. If you move the scanner to a new location you may want to
recalibrate since the bulb may change position in transit and the illumination
pattern must be recompensated. This calibration is not intended for daily use. It
writes color balance and light distribution shading information to the non-volatile
memory in the scanner.
> Note The Calibrate Lamp button should be used with caution!
Before proceeding to calibrate the unit, you must remove any film and film
holders from the unit. Otherwise it will misinterpret the light balance and attempt
to calibrate to a setting that is outside normal limits. This may leave the scanner in
a confused state and possibly require a call to Technical Support to remedy.
To execute calibration, close the dust cover, press the button within the
Utilities dialog and wait a couple of minutes while the unit compensates and saves
the data. When the busy light finally goes out you will be returned to the utilities
dialog again.
> Caution Do not disturb the scanner while this is taking place or the routines will not
complete and the scanner may not calibrate correctly on the next attempt.
You can exit after completion by pressing the Done button.
