Calibrating GlobalVision R36/ R44 Scanners

Summary: Calibration of your 36"/ 44" roll scanner

Before you align and calibrate the image sensors, make sure you have cleaned the scan area. An unclean scanning area will give you imprecise calibration results.

Insert the maintenance sheet

The wizard will ask you to insert the maintenance sheet that came with your scanner. The sheet’s printed side must be inserted face-down. Align the midpoint arrow with the scanner’s midpoint arrow and feed the sheet into the scanner.

Start the scanner maintenance utility

Double-click on the WIDEsystem icon to open the program. Press the "Calibrate" button. The "Calibrate" window appears. 

Select "Full Calibration".

The program automatically analyzes the alignment and stitching status of the image sensors, performs a basic calibration to ensure stable and clean scans by reducing noise and unwanted effects caused by dust particles, and performs a color calibration, using the ANSI IT8 standards to ensure stable and predictable colors every time.

The wizard informs you when calibration is complete.

Wrapping up

Once calibration has been completed, click the DOWN arrow on the scanner and
remove the calibration sheet from the device. Remove the maintenance sheet, return it to its protective cover, and then place it in the storage folder. Store the folder in a dry place and out of direct light.
