B. Positioning Reflective Materials
To scan reflective materials such as photos or prints, you can use the ScanMaker 1000XL Plus with or
without the TMA 1600-III.
• To scan with the TMA, you will need to use the Black Plate included with your TMA 1600-III package
to shield unwanted light.
• To scan 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.
