Calibrate your scanner.
Calibrate your scanner only if the scanned images start to look fuzzy, the colour looks abnormal (darker than normal), after 8,000 scans, or if the scanner has been stored without being used for a long time. You will need the Calibration Sheet that came with your scanner to successfully perform calibration.
