Positioning Reflective Originals - Microtek ScanMaker 1000XL Plus User Manual

To scan reflective originals such as photos, you can use the ScanMaker 1000XL
Plus with or without the TMA 1600-III.
A. To scan with TMA 1600-III, you will need to use the Black Plate* included
*The Black Plate
Light from the TMA 1600-III and other ambient light during scanning may result in
overexposed images. The Black Plate is designed to work with 120 film and reflective originals. To
ensure correct exposure and optimal image quality during scanning, the Black Mat should be used to
shield unwanted light out. Two Black Plates are available with your TMA 1600-III package.
Take note of the following before using the Black Plate.
1. The Black Plate may become dirty over time and with prolonged use. To clean the plate, use a
white cotton cloth dipped in some water, and gently wipe the plate surface. This ensures that the
Black Plate is in optimal condition at all times.
2. A protective film covers the Black Plate during shipping and prevents it from being scratched.
When peeling the film from the plate, be careful not to tear or bend the Black Plate.
