Using Scan2Contacts 

Scan2Contacts Window  

Scanner calibration 

Scanner calibration resets the scanner color 
sensor and generates higher accuracy in the 
OCR detection process. When you use the 
scanner for the first time, you will be prompted 
to calibrate the scanner.  

Calibrating the scanner is also a good idea if 
you notice deterioration in scanning and OCR 
quality.
