HP C5100a question

[Guest]

Folks,

Picked up one of these original `photoscanners' at a second-hand
store. Found a third party (e-mail me) driver/software package for
it, and successfully scanned b/w & color negs and slides.

However, in scan print mode, it asks for a `calibration card'
before it will proceed.

Needless to say, I didn't get this card with the scanner.

What is it? Is it common with the HP film scanner line, and
where might I get one - or how to make one?

Any advice appreciated.

Answer to missing `calibration card' was to cut a piece of
10 point bright white card stock to 5x7 inches.

The C5100a accepted it as a `calibration card' and proceeded
to scan photos perfectly.

....for the information of anyone else needing a `calibration
card' for thier HP Photosmart photo scanners.
