GENERAL INFORMATION
ALL Trays: Load slides with the SHINY side facing the right side of the tray,
this will result in a backwards scanned image, but due to the hardware
design this is necessary to obtain the best scan quality. Images can be flipped
using 3rd party image editing software
Supported Slide Trays:
PIE Dark gray tray (bundled), the aftermarket Braun PAXIMAT Magazine 50
(Gray- for Glassless Slides up to 2mm Thick - MFR #15062)
CS Magazine (European)for CS/CS2-mounted slides (European design) 50
slide maximum version ONLY)
NO OTHER BRANDS OF TRAYS OR CAROUSELS SUPPORTED
Glass slides that are attached to glass frames may cause complications due to
the hard edges and thickness and cannot be batch scanned, no slides with
mounts that are thicker than 3mm can be scanned.
METAL SLIDES: Cardboard slides mounted into metal frames, these not
supported, they MUST be un-mounted from the metal frames
Loading slide(s) into the magazine(s)
Gray Magazine (Bundled tray) or aftermarket Paximat Magazine (gray)
a. Locate the numbering sequence text on the top of the slide
magazine indicating the slide order. The numbers should be
facing up and starting from the left.
b. Hold the slide right side up, facing forward so the image is NOT
reversed. Rotate the slide as illustrated below (180 deg) and Insert each
slide, one at a time, into the magazine slots. Essentially they will be inserted
upside down and backwards, they will require flipping in an image editing
program

PIE & Braun Paximat Magazines
#2 on the slides in this drawing represents the emulsion side of the slide film, this faces the #50 in
the tray This method of insertion will result in backward image scans due to the mechanical design
of the unit, they will need to be flipped using an image editing program back to the proper
orientation
Numbering
WARNING: Load slides into the magazine properly and make sure the slide
mounts are in good condition. Improperly inserted slides or slides with
distorted/damaged slide mounts may cause the scanner to jam and potentially
damage both the slide and the scanner.

HOW TO SCAN SLIDES
STEP 1 – Acquire Driver
(For PC Users)
Open CyberView from the desktop icon Alternatively Start button Scroll to the letter C
category look for CyberView X - Start – All Programs – CyberViewX
(For MAC Users)
Open Macintosh Hard drive – Applications – CyberViewX
STEP 2 – Select Film Type
Select the film type to be scanned – Positive (Slides), Negative (mounted negatives) or
mounted B &W negatives (Black and White).
STEP 3 – Optional Prescan
Select the “Prescan Current Frame“ to prescan the slide currently loaded into the scanner or
“Prescan...“ to prescan slide or slides at specific positions in the magazine.
Pre-Scanning should be used to manually adjust color/crop area, exposure settings etc. for
each slide before doing the final scan. It’s possible to set different settings for each slide to be
scanned.
Please note: With older cardboard mounts the optional Pre-Scan can put a lot of wear and
tear on already decaying slide mounts, pre-scan is ONLY required if you plan to pre-edit all or
some of the images manually before final scanning, otherwise use the available automatic
correction features to do it for you, and skip prescanning altogether

STEP 4 – Set Scan Settings
a. Resolution (Scan dpi)
The default scanning resolution is 1000dpi, additional resolution options are listed below.
Notice: Higher scanning resolutions result in greater scanning time and hard disk space
requirements.
Examples of resolution to use:
Here are the minimum resolutions to display slide shows on an HDTV with high quality 1080p TV =
1500 dpi minimum to achieve a 1920 x 1279 pixel image, 4K TV = 2840 minimum to achieve a 3840
x 2558 pixel image, 4K TV resolution is 3840 x 2160
8K TV = 5700 minimum to achieve a 7730 x 5113 pixel image, 8K TV Resolution is 7680×4320
(for additional resolution information regarding printing see page 30)
b. Color Depth
The Film Scanner color depth is 48 bit true color
The scanning software has the capability of selecting 8 bit color mode or 16 bit color mode when
scanning, This will produce 24 or 48 bit color images, 8 bits or 16 bits per Red, Green and Blue color
channels
Example:
8 bit mode = 8 Red, 8 Green, and 8 Blue for a total of 24 bit color
16 bit mode = 16 Red, 16 Green, and 16 Blue for a total of 48 bit color
Note: Color image file size of different resolutions and color depths:
HOW TO SCAN SLIDES….Continued
Scan Mode – Normal: Produces a scan in jpeg format

to pre-edit slides before scanning the higher the pre-scan resolution the larger sample you have to
work with for pre-editing before the final scan.
(Please note with older cardboard mounts the optional Pre-Scan can put a lot of wear and tear on
already decaying slide mounts, pre-scan is ONLY required if you plan to pre-edit all or some of the
images manually before final scanning.)
“Color Depth“ – 8 bit (24bit) or 16 bit (48bit) Default color depth
“Scan Mode“ – Default scan mode while scanning. Quality mode is for x-rays, medical slides etc.,

sequence up to 6 digits Example Digi s 3 (Default ) resu lts in a file name ima ge 001 by selecting
digits 1 -6 your filename will change accordingly image 000001
4. Options - User Defined Start Number: Enter a specific start number, better for archiving and
keeping track of your own sequential scan numbers
5. Choose the file type, “TIF” or “JPG”. (TIF= un-compressed or JPG = Compressed - Choose image
quality for JPG. (20-100) 100 offers the least amount of compression, best quality, JPG only
outputs to an 8bit formatted image even when scanned using 16bit mode

Magic Touch Is a powerful dust and scratch removal technology that does away with the hassle of
learning complex and tedious software techniques. Being hardware-based, it works seamlessly with
the scanning process to ensure the best possible results when bringing images into the computer.
Dust, scratches and other flaws are intelligently detected and eliminated, restoring the image to its
original beauty. Scanning with Magic Touch requires longer scanning times, the feature is turned
off by default.
Auto Color takes the guesswork out of the scanning process to streamline the workflow and
achieve the best results. Proprietary color enhancement technology is applied to scanned images to
provide the most accurate color adjustment, resulting in vibrant images with optimal brightness,
contrast and saturation.
