Calibration is a critical step in setting up your scanner. It allows the image quality to be “balanced” for your computer and scanner combination. If at any time you switch the scanner to another computer, you will need to calibrate the scanner again on that computer.
Launch DocketSCAN II® Program
- Open the DocketSCAN II® program.
- This initial calibration is a onetime process and doesn’t need to be performed again unless you switched computer or the scanned image is poor and requires balancing again.
- You don’t need to calibrate the scanner before every scan.
- Select the “Custom…” button, this will open the Custom Settings window (Fig-9).

- If you skip this initial calibration process and proceeds to “Scan”, the program will automatically request you to calibrate the scanner before permitting you to scan.
- The scanner MUST be calibrated first before the program can perform any scan.
- Proceed with the step-by-step calibration instruction.
Calibrating the scanner

- Click OK, you will then be directed back to the Custom Setting page.
- You now can define your scanning perimeters and proceed with your scanning tasks.

- Functions grayed out means they are not supported or compatible with your scanner.
- Should you lose or forget the black and white calibration target while traveling, you can simply use any plain
“White” piece of letter size printer paper to perform the calibration.
- Simply fold the paper in half horizontally and insert the folded end into the scanner first.
