Hm - I don't think so. Quality calibration (i.e. the option named 
"Quality calibration", not "Quality scan") was disabled for the 3490 
until now.

There was no quality calibration at all done for the 3490 up to now. 
That is to say, no quality calibration where the backend was 
involved. I don't know if the firmware does some "simple" quality 
calibration that may explain the green line.

I've now adapted the quality calibration code for the 2480 and enabled 
it for the 3490. It's a pitty that you solved the problem already ;-) 
otherwise it would be nice to know if quality calibration solves it, 
too 

The code is in CVS now, it should show up in the snapshots tomorrow - 
please test.
