Hasselblad Flextight X1 - Calibrating the Scanner; Focus Calibration; White Calibration for Reflectives

Calibrating the scanner
e Flextight X5 scanner requires two types of calibration e Flextight X1 only
requires one:
• Both scanners require focus calibration. Focus calibration adjusts the positioning
of the scanners’ optics for each zoom level. If your scans appear unfocused or are
slightly the wrong size, then you may need to make a new focus calibration to adjust
the zoom mechanism. e focus calibration is stored in the scanners flash PROM, so
it is retained when you move the scanner to a new computer. See
Focus Calibration
on page 12 for more information.
• White calibration is only required for reflective scans (it is done automatically for
transparencies). During calibration, the scanner scans a white target to establish the
white point along the full length of the scanners CCD. See
White Calibration for
Reectives on page 13 for more information.
Both of the calibration procedures are simple and are initiated from the FlexColor
program.
