Positioning Your Originals

To scan reflective materials such as photos and prints, place the photo to be scanned

on the scan bed. The top end of the original should be positioned towards the back

of the scanner, with the surface to be scanned facing down.

NOTE: For the automatic cropping feature to work correctly during the preview

scan of your photo, make sure the scanner lid is completely flat and closed over the

scan bed.

To scan transparent film, use the optional LightLid 35 III transparency adapter. The

LightLid 35 III is specially designed to scan 35mm slides and 35mm filmstrips. A

maximum of 4 mounted slides or one strip of 5 frames can be loaded at a time.

Microtek recommends the use of this accessory to scan slides for on-screen display

purposes or where high resolution is not critical. For high-quality print reproduction,

we recommend purchasing a dedicated slide scanner or a Microtek scanner with built-

in film-scanning features.

Before proceeding with film scanning, follow the procedures in the "Using the

LightLid 35 III" section to connect the LightLid 35 III, to load the film and to place the

LightLid on the scanner glass surface.
