Microtek LightLidTM 35

Installing and Getting Started

The LightLid 35 is a bonus accessory

included with your Microtek scanner. It gives

you the versatility to scan 35mm slides and

filmstrips on your flatbed scanner.

Microtek recommends the use of this

accessory to scan slides for on-screen display

purposes or where high resolution is not

critical. For high-quality print reproduction,

we recommend purchasing a dedicated slide

scanner or a Microtek scanner with built-in

film-scanning features.

Please note: Scanning of color transparencies may vary, depending on the quality of

your film original.

A. Installing the LightLid 35

1. Unpack the LightLid 35.

2. Remove the scanner lid.

3. Connect the LightLid 35 to your scanner. To do this:

Connect the 15-pin connector (A in diagram) of your

LightLid 35 to the accessory port (B) at the back panel

of your scanner.

B. Operating the LightLid 35

1. Mount the 35mm slide or filmstrip on the LightLid 35.

A. Mounting a slide:

Turn the LightLid 35 over. Insert the

35mm slide front side up into the

recessed area at the center of the

LightLid. Secure the slide by gripping it

with the grip prong provided at the

connector side of the recessed area. For

added stability, you may wish to secure

the slide with a piece of adhesive tape.

B. Mounting filmstrips:

Turn the LightLid 35 over. Insert the

35mm filmstrip front side up along the

recessed area, with one perforated side

of the filmstrip tucked under the mylar

sheets. For added stability, secure the

other perforated side of the filmstrip

with a piece of adhesive tape.

2. Place the LightLid 35 (with the secured filmstrip or slide to be scanned) on the glass

surface of the scanner. The LightLid 35 can be placed horizontally at the front edge

of the scanner glass bed, or vertically at anywhere on the glass surface, as shown

below.

Launch the ScanWizard 5 scanning software in stand-alone mode or from your

image-editing software, then select your scan material and start scanning. For details

on how to do this, see other documentation included in your scanner package.

ScanWizard 5 has two modes — Standard and Advanced — and each mode has its own

way of selecting the scan material and scanning. Each mode of operation is shown

below.

• Standard Control Panel: In the

Preview window, click the Original

button, and choose Positive Film or

Negative Film, depending on the

material you are scanning. When you

are ready to scan, click on the Scan

To button, and select where the

scanned image will be sent (to image

or OCR editing application, to disk, to

printer, or to e-mail or website

program). For more details, see your

ScanWizard 5 documentation.

• Advanced Control Panel: In the

Preview window, click on the Scan

Material icon, and choose Positive

Film or Negative Film, depending on

the material you are scanning; for

Mac OS X, select Positive or Negative

from the Scan Material drop-down

menu. When you are ready to scan,

click the Scan to button, and select

where the scanned image will be sent

(to image or OCR editing application,

to disk, to printer, or to e-mail or

website program ). For more details,

see your ScanWizard 5

documentation.
