Congratulation!  You now have a scanner calibration photo.
  Some important things you should keep in mind:

- This floppy or CD does contain the IT 8.7/2 reference file for the
  calibration target charge "R031123". Select the file "R031123.txt"
  as reference file when using the scanner profiling software
  (ICS ScanTarget on the Amiga, qtScannerProfiler with lcms).

- Handle the targets carefully to avoid kink marks, scratches
  and fingerprints. Do not touch the surface.

- Remove the protection sleeve of the photo before scanning.
  Return the test target to it's protective enclosure immediately
  after use.

- Always protect the calibration photo from strong light.
  Store in a cool dry and dark place, preferable 70 F (21 C)
  and not exceeding 50% RH. Avoid sudden temperature changes
  as this can cause moisture on the photo surface.
  Use a dry lint free cloth to dry/clean the surface.
  DO NOT USE ALCOHOL or other chemicals to clean the surface
  of the photo.

- The colors of the target will change with time.  It is recommended
  to get a new target every 1-2 years if you want to avoid any
  quality loss. Please check out http://www.targets.coloraid.de
  for the latest information on your charge.

- You  can  use  the calibration photo with basicly any other
  proper  IT  8.7/2  software on PC/Mac/Amiga/Sun and other systems.
  So  far  the  target  has  been  tested  with ScanOpen (see "Extras"
  directory below!), ColorTune, CorelDraw, Silverfast, lcms and others.
  Note that the reference file is identical for all systems and
  thus can simply be transfered to other systems in order to get used.
  
- Check out http://www.coloraid.de for links to various scanner
  profiling software and other CMS tools.
  
- The "Extras" directory does contain additional files for your
  target:

  R031123W.txt :  Same as the normal reference file, but measurement
                  was done using a white instead of black backing.
                  The IT 8.7/2 standard requires the measurement of the
                  calibration target using a black backing.
                  Some (especialy consumer) scanners do have a white
                  backing. Use this special reference file if your
                  scanner does shipp with a white lid.

  R031123S.txt :  A smaller version of the normal reference file not
                  containing any statistical information on the target
                  production, resulting in a smaller file.
                  Use this reference file if your profiling
                  software does crash when reading the larger file.
                  For instance, a fault in some versions of the
                  Heidelberg CPS ScanOpen software do cause a crash
                  when reading the large reference file.
                  There is no quality loss when using this smaller
                  reference file as only statistical target production
                  information was removed from the file.

  Fault.txt    :  Some technical info on the measurement and
                  production of the target. See also the statistical
                  info saved in the normal reference file.
