III. Positioning the Scan Material
A. Positioning Transparencies
1. To scan standard-size transparent film such as 35mm slides, 35mm
filmstrips, 4"x5" film, or 120 film: Use the individual film templates
included with the TMA 1000XL package. Make sure the templates are
oriented correctly on the scanner glass surface, with the Microtek logo on
the templates facing up. Keep the calibration strip on the glass surface
clear and free of obstruction at all times.
Important:
When using the
templates, make
Calibration strip

down also on the scanner glass surface, centering the film along the Film
Alignment Ruler. Make sure you keep the calibration strip on the glass
surface clear and free of obstruction at all times.

B. Positioning Reflectives
To scan reflective originals such as photos, you can use the ScanMaker
1000XL with or without the TMA 1000XL.
• If you purchased your ScanMaker 1000XL with the TMA, you will need to
use the Black Plate included with your TMA 1000XL package to shield
unwanted light.
• If you purchased your ScanMaker 1000XL without the TMA, simply lift the
scanner lid, and place the reflective original to be scanned on the glass
surface. Center the photo along the U-shaped ruler of the scanner.
