Batch Scan Utility - Minolta Dimage Scan Software Manual

BATCH SCAN UTILITY

The Batch Scan Utility is for scanning a large volume of images. This utility
automatically scans, processes, and saves all the images in a film holder. The Batch
Scan Utility is opened with the DiMAGE Scan launcher. This software is not available
with all scanner models, see the scanner notes section in the scanner hardware
manual.
When the Batch Scan Utility button in the launcher
window is clicked, the scanner will initialize. When the
set-holder message appears, insert the holder into the
scanner; all the frames in the holder will be scanned
and saved, and the holder will be ejected
automatically. To scan another batch, change the film
in the holder and reinsert it into the scanner. Click the
Batch Scan Utility button to begin scanning. The
scanner only initializes before the first holder is
scanned.
To change or confirm the Batch Scan settings, click the
settings button.
