Firmware - PowerLook 2000

Version Changes
2.2 Solves problem of intermittent green scans when scanner has been used heavily ("overheating" symptoms), solves problem of incorrect (red or green) colour cast on lower section of scan. cref x2.12. [source TU980206-001S]
2.1 Minor improvement to shadow detail, improves noise sometimes seen when converting RGB image to CMYK after scanning at a high Gamma setting, also improves "smearing" problem (adds smearing steps when buffer is full)
2.0 Solves horizontal shearing problem when scanner is used at high resolution with a slow host Mac or PC (horizontal sections or bands of the image are displaced). Same release as x194.
x194 First release of fix for horizontal shearing problem (same as 2.0)
1.9 Reduce image pixelisation, reduce shadow noise problem (at power-on or after a long time idle). One known outstanding issue: problem with 2000dpi scans on older Macs caused by slow SCSI, scanner head start/stop - produces horizontal banding or shearing. Fix currently being tested.
1.8 1) Correct the highlight/shadow formerly existing on F/W v1.7. 2) New UTA lamp holder supported: The UTA-2000 lamp holder width has been increased to aid image quality. Old UTA lamp holder is still compatible. 3) Improve image quality: i) Correct the colour balance error when batch scan is selected and colour mode is switched from lineart to RGB mode. ii) Correct DC offset calibration for improved colour balance. Improve too much Red problem.
1.7 1) Use RGB mode calibration to improve the density range of greyscale. 2) Solve the randomly horizontal red lines on the scanned images. 3) Modify the motor acceleration to avoid motor crash when chassis starts to return to home position. 4) Improve preview quality: There is a green mask on the preview image randomly.
1.2 1) Improved image quality - Solved jittering problem in dark area in F/W v1.0. 2) Modified the UTA lamp calibration position for better image quality (moved the UTA lamp 6mm forward).
