SCANNER NOTES

Film format and type settings

When scanning, the film type and format as well as the holder type must be selected in the main

window of the DiMAGE Scan Utility. See scanner setup in the basic-scanning section of the soft-

ware manual.

When using the Slide Mount Holder SH-P1 or the 35 mm Film Holder FH-P1, select the 35 mm

option from the film-format drop-down menu. When scanning medium-format film with the stan-

dard or glassless attachment in the universal holder,

select the appropriate format from the drop-down

menu: 6 X 4.5, 6 X 6, 6 X 7, 6 X 8, or 6 X 9. When

using the optional Multi-format attachment HS-P1, two

menu options are available depending on the film

used: Multi Format 35mm and Multi Format 6X9. The

type of holder must also be specified between glass

and glassless from the holder-type drop-down menu

when the Universal Holder is used.

Film type can be selected between color and black

and white, positive and negative film. Film for prints is

negative film. Slide film is positive film. The transpar-

ent-media option is for use with the optional Multi-format attachment when scanning specialized

film or non-photographic originals such as microfilm or microscope slides. Also for the Multi-format

attachment, the TEM film option is for transmission electron microscopy film.

Disconnecting the scanner

SCSI cable

The scanner and computer must be turned off before the SCSI cable can be disconnected. If the

scanner is connected to a SCSI chain, all the devices in the chain must be turned off before dis-

connecting the cable.

IEEE 1394 (FireWire) cable

The easiest and safest way to disconnect the scanner from the computer is to turn both devices

off as well as any peripheral devices and remove the cable. However, the following procedures

can be used depending on the operating system employed.

Easy Scan Utility

The Easy Scan Utility software is a simple scanning interface designed for individuals with no

image processing or DTP experience. This software is not compatible with this scanner. The

DiMAGE Scan Utility’s custom wizard can be used to automate the scanning workflow, see the

software instruction manual.
