device does not support WIA drivers, then try updating your TWAIN driver. Contact the
manufacturer of your device for further TWAIN support.

ENGLISH
STEP 4 – Set Scan Settings
a. Resolution
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.
b. Color Depth
Choose between 8 and 16bit. A higher color depth setting will result in
a larger range of colors in the final scanned image.
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: Make sure there is enough space available
on the computer when changing the Scanning
Resolution. A high scanning resolution results in
large files that may prove difficult to save.

Advanced Setting
”Auto Exposure” - Attempts to find the correct exposure to get the wid-
est range of whites and blacks while putting the middle grays at around
the middle of the data range.
”Auto Balance” - Using the image histogram to balance RGB channels. It
estimates images’ color cast and adjust the images accordingly
“Auto Contrast” - The scanner software analyzes the data and automati-
cally adjusts the Setting for the White and Black Points.
”Digital Noise Reduc tion”– Applies a filter, Reducing the film grain.
“Multipass Xposure”-
When enabled Multi-Exposure performs a triple scan to obtain the best possible image,
This
process captures the three individual scans, first a normal pass then two more
scans
to highlight the shadow details to expose the darker areas more fully, The
software
then intuitively calculates the final scan, which now contains the data from all
three scans.
“Multiple Sampling”-
Configure the settings to scan a single image (multiple times) 2x, 4x, 8x or 16x for
the highest quality output. Please note this greatly increases scan time. With Multi-
Sampling image noise is a thing of the past. 15

Magic Touch / Auto Color
.
Magic Touch is a powerful dust and scratch removal technologythat 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. Magic Touch doesn´t work with Kodachrome Film and B&W
Film, you have to deactivate it.
Scanning with Magic Touch requires longer scanning times, the feature is turned
off bydefault.
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.
