Use the individual film templates included with the TMA 1600-III package. Make sure the templates are

oriented correctly on the scanner glass surface, with the Microtek logo on the templates facing up. Keep

the calibration strip on the glass surface clear and free of obstruction at all times.

III package. Place the Film Alignment Ruler on the scanner glass surface. Then place the film to be

scanned face down on the scanner glass surface, centering the film along the Film Alignment Ruler.

B. Positioning Reflective Materials

To scan reflective materials such as photos or prints, you can use the ScanMaker 1000XL Plus with or

to shield unwanted light.

the glass surface. Center the photo along the U-shaped ruler of the scanner.

NOTE: This section is only available for the PC users who have installed the Microtek’s MSP utility,

and use the IT8 color target to generate scanner ICC profiles.

The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) program

included with your scanner package is used to calibrate

your scanner to achieve consistent and accurate color.

The industry-standard IT8 color target for MSP program

you received depends on the scanner configuration that

you purchased. If the IT8 color target is included with

your scanner package, you may use the IT8 color target

to calibrate the scanner for scanning photos or film.

You will be asked to calibrate your scanner the first

time you run ScanWizard Pro to try to scan. You may

skip calibration to proceed directly to scanning, and

then choose to come back at a later time to perform

calibration.
