Scanning Damaged Photos

1. Raise the scanner lid, and place the damaged photo to be scanned face down on
the scanner glass bed, towards the front of the scanner. Center the top of the
photo along the U-shaped ruler on the scanner.
Note: If the creases lie in the same
direction where the carriage is moving,
the creases may not be detected by the
scanner. To fix this problem, position
your photo slightly skewed (min. 10°,
max. 45°), so that none of the creases
are parallel to the direction of the
moving carriage.
If the scanner has an installed TMA 1000XL, put the Black Plate on top of the
photo to cover it, with the side of the Black Plate that reads "This side up" facing
up. Follow the procedures on page 18 for positioning reflective originals to load
the Black Plate.
2. Launch ScanWizard Pro.
3. Go to the Preview window and
choose Reflective from the Scan
Material menu.
4. Optional: If calibration has been
performed, go to the Settings window
in ScanWizard Pro. Choose the profile
you have just created in the Input
Profile / Scanner Profile menu.
For more details, see the section
"Loading a Profile" in the MSP section
of the manual.
