Scanner Calibration Control - Microtek ArtixScan 4500t Reference Manual

B. Scanner Calibration Control
Your Microtek scanner, by default, will calibrate the CCD optical element in
your scanner whenever necessary to deliver consistent and high quality images.
For some scanner models, you may choose to control the frequency of the
scanner calibration to reduce the overall scanning time.
In the Scanner Calibration Control panel, you may select the desired settings for
Preview and Final Scan. By default, they are set to "Automatic," which means the
calibration will be done whenever necessary — that is, the scanner and the
software will decide when to perform the calibration. In some cases, the
calibration may be skipped, which results in faster scanning.
If you choose Every Scan the calibration will be performed for every scan. This
may be a bit time consuming but will guarantee the best results.
Calibration is always done before a scan process. However, you may also force a
scanner calibration process by pressing the Calibrate Scanner Now! button. The
calibration result is saved and can be used for future scans if the Automatic
setting is selected.
