normal variations that can occur in the optical components over time.
Note: If you lose the calibration sheet or the calibration sheet is damaged, contact Ambir support.
1. Use the included calibration sheet to calibrate the scanner. The calibration sheet is
marked with arrows on the long edges and is specifically designed for calibrating your

3. Open AmbirScan ADF by clicking the icon in the Mac Dock
4. Click the icon in the menu bar and select “Calibration Wizard” from the drop down

scanner. After the calibration is complete, click OK.
