Positioning Transparent Film - Microtek ScanMaker i450 Supplement Manual

Positioning Transparent Film

To scan film, use the film holder included with your scanner package, and match it
with the correct type of film to be scanned, such as 35mm slides and filmstrip. Using
the film holder ensures precise alignment of film to yield consistent scans, and aids in
the correct performance of the automatic cropping* feature during film scanning.
Notes on automatic cropping
For the scanner to perform automatic cropping during scanning, the following
conditions below should all be met:
• Your computer's operating system should be Windows or Mac OS X.
• The film holder is correctly aligned on the scan bed.
• The scan material is Positive or Negative Film, with the slide or filmstrip to be
scanned correctly loaded on the film holder.
• For Windows: In the Scan Job Queue window of ScanWizard EZ - Professional
Mode, the "Multiple Auto-crop for EZ-Lock Film Holder" option is checked.
For Mac OS X: In the Scanner Settings control panel of ScanPottter, the
"Automatic Detection" option in the Scan Frame drop-down menu is selected.
