Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What are the benefits of the ReadyScan LED light source inside this model?
  The ReadyScan LED hardware configuration eliminates the warm-up delay standard in older cold-cathode lamps. It provides instant-on scanning response while consuming less energy and completely eliminating mercury components from the hardware structure.
• Does the hardware-based Digital ICE feature work on both film and paper photos?
  Digital ICE uses an integrated infrared light channel to precisely pinpoint and eliminate physical surface scratches, dust particles, and lint fibers on transparent negatives and slides during active passes. It is intended exclusively for transparency scans and is not supported for standard reflective paper photo prints.
• How do I configure this unit to scan 120/220 medium format film?
  Simply remove the white document mat attached to the underside of the upper cover to expose the integrated transparency unit light path. Mount your medium format strip into the designated slot on the dual-format holder template, align the tray tabs onto the flatbed glass edge, and execute your scan pass.
