EASY SCAN UTILITY

The DiMAGE Scan Easy Scan Utility is a simple, automatic scanning application for
trouble-free scans. The utility works as a stand-alone program, and cannot be
launched through another application. This software is not available with all scanner
models, see the scanner notes section in the scanner hardware manual.
The following settings are automatically made when using the Easy Scan Utility:
• Autofocusing with each 35mm frame, or with the first APS frame only.
• Index scan priority: speed setting (p. 30).
• Color depth: 8 bit.
• No multi-sample scanning.
• Automatic cropping to inside edge (p. 19).
• When Digital ROC is active, color matching is turned off.
• sRGB output color space when color matching is on. (p. 66)
• Autoexposure with all films except black and white slides.

Using the Easy Scan Utility

When the Easy Scan Utility is launched, the Easy Scan Wizard opens. Simply follow
the instructions on the Wizard to scan images. Screens and functions differ between
scanner models.
A screen requesting a film holder appears. Load and
insert the holder following the instructions in the
loading a film holder section of the hardware manual.
If an optional APS adapter is used, an index scan will
be made and the next window is skipped. The APS
auto-detect function automatically sets the film type
between color and black and white, and positive and
negative.
The status bar at the top of each window gives instructions or describes function on
which the mouse pointer is located.
To exit the Easy Scan Utility at any point, click the quit button in the bottom left corner
of the window. The film holder will be ejected automatically.
