Chapter 9 - Océ Scanner Maintenance76
Installation of the software
Océ Scanner Maintenance program
Why maintain the scanner
Regular Scanner Maintenance is a sure way to minimize costly downtime. The threeroutinemaintenance procedures Cleaning, Camera alignment andCalibration will improveimage quality and reduce service costs.
These three maintenance functions are closely entwined and they should all be performedin a single maintenance session, starting with cleaning the scan area and ending withcalibration. The reason is that if you clean the glass or adjust the cameras then you willhave changed conditions in the scanning area and will need to calibrate in order to readjustblack and white. This works the other way as well - scanner calibration must always bepreceded by cleaning and camera alignment, to get reliable calibration results.
Use the software
The Océ Scanner Maintenance software is a wizard which guides you through the wholeprocess of maintenance. All you have to do is follow the instructions on the screen. Formore details about the procedure, please refer to the ScannerMaintenance leaflets providedwith the software.OcéScanner Maintenance is performed in three consecutive steps:
■ Cleaning of the scan area■ Camera alignment■ Calibration (Basic calibration and Colour calibration)
CleaningTo clean the scan area, use the special cleaning cloth provided with the SMK.When not in use, cover the scanner with the plastic dust cover.
Note:Make sure the scanner is powered off before covering it with the plastic cover. Otherwise,the temperature of the scanner would be too high.
Camera alignment Camera alignment must be performed to get invisible transitions be-tween camera range borderlines.The procedure slightly differs according to your type of scanners:
■ some models have a single fixed camera. Therefore, they do not require camera align-ment. The maintenance wizard will automatically detect the scanner model and skipthe camera alignment step.
■ some models have two cameras, A, B starting from the right side of the scanner.
Chapter 9 - Océ Scanner Maintenance 77
Océ Scanner Maintenance program
One is fixed and the other is adjustable.
CalibrationAfter Camera alignment, the Scanner Maintenance program goes straight to Basic (blackand white point) and Colour Calibration (colour scanners only) on its own. You don'thave to insert extra sheets or find camera positions on the scanner. The Maintenanceprogram detects the scanner model and makes all the necessary calculations.
Your scanner's Precision Colour system lets you calibrate on the field at any time ensuringstable and predictable colour output. The scanner will be calibrated to both sRGB andNTSC colour spaces using an ANSI IT8 calibration target.
IT8 Calibration target
Mass production of IT8 Calibration sheets results in slight differences between productionbatches. This means that the Colour Patch Reference values in one batch of IT8 Calibra-tion sheets do not necessarily match those in another production batch.
Colour matching and calibration are optimal when using your IT8 Calibration sheet withan IT8 calibration sheet reference data file corresponding to the sheet's production batch.The Scanner Maintenance CD comes with a number of these files that are installed withthe maintenance program.
The IT8 sheet batch ID is contained in the bar-code on your maintenance sheet. YourScanner Maintenance program detects the batch ID so that it selects automatically theright IT8 calibration sheet reference data file among the list of files installed on yoursystem.
Normally, this process is automatic. But in some cases, the ScannerMaintenance programcannot find the matching IT8 calibration sheet reference file. For example, you may haveobtained a calibration sheet to replace your original one that is newer than your ScannerMaintenance software version. In such cases, the matching reference file will not havebeen delivered and installed on your system.
Chapter 9 - Océ Scanner Maintenance78
Océ Scanner Maintenance program
The following dialog appears when the Océ Scanner Maintenance program cannot findthe IT8 calibration sheet reference file that corresponds to the maintenance sheet beingused:
OKSelecting this button activates a search on the internet and downloads the right IT8 cali-bration reference data file to your system. The action requires that you are connected tothe internet.
Use Standard IT8 fileThe standard IT8 file ‘IT8data.IT8’ comes with the maintenance program and is installedon your system. The file can substitute for the right IT8 calibration sheet reference datafile but is however far from optimal.
BrowseThis button lets you search for the corresponding IT8 calibration reference data file onyour file system if it is included on a floppy disk for instance.
