Once calibration is done, a scan is started. You have to put in a document so the scan can go on so there is no error. To avoid this you have to add the -n or --dont-scan option on the scanimage command line used: scanimage -d genesys --calibrate --dont-scan
When default scanner settings aren't goo enough, it may not be able to recognize the calibration target which must consist in a pure white sheet with a full width horizontal black strip. Regards, Stef
