Calibrating Your System

Calibrating Your Screen

For Windows 98 and 2000 users
For Macintosh users

You need to calibrate your screen when you first install the scanner software, and anytime you switch to a different monitor.

For Windows 98 and 2000 users

Double-click the Scanners and Cameras icon in Control Panel. The Scanners and Cameras Properties dialog box appears. Click the Properties button.

Click the Utility tab, then click the Screen Calibration Utility icon. The Screen Calibration dialog box appears.

Look at the screen and move the slider to the right or left until the two shades of the gray horizontal stripes match.

Note:
View the screen from a short distance. While the gray stripes do not blend perfectly well, try to adjust until the different tones match as closely as possible.

Click OK to finish calibrating your scanner and monitor.

The setting is automatically saved as the Screen profile in the Calibration list in EPSON TWAIN's Destination dialog box. The screen profile contains calibration information for the preview image as well as the scanned image.
