The appearance of the Scan Material icon changes, depending
on whether your scan material is reflective, positive, or
negative.
The positive and negative icons become active only if you're
using a Transparent Media Adapter with your flatbed scanner,
or if you're using a transparency/slide scanner such as the
ScanMaker 45t or ScanMaker 35t.
Also, Scan Material Status icon is related to the use of the
Transparent Media Adapter (TMA) for scanning slides and
filmstrips with your scanner. With the TMA in use, the
appearance of the icon will change, depending on whether
your scan material is reflective, positive, or negative.
• If you're scanning a reflective (such as a photo or print),
or if you're not using the TMA, this icon will appear in its
normal form like an ordinary icon. When you click on the
icon and hold down the mouse, you'll see the Reflective
option checked.
• If you're scanning a positive transparency or filmstrip,
this icon will appear in the form of a positive. When you
click on the icon and hold down the mouse, you'll see the
Positive Transparency option checked.
• If you're scanning a negative transparency or filmstrip,
this icon will appear in the form of a negative. When you
click on the icon and hold down the mouse, you'll see the
Negative Film option checked.
