4 Scanner Features
Here are some examples of scan times with and without DIGITAL ICE
Technology over a FireWire
®
connection. Your scan times may vary, depending on
your computer system, connection, and the amount of defect correction needed.
Note:
When using DIGITAL ICE Technology to scan printed photos, select a resolution
between 50 and 1200 dpi. Note that DIGITAL ICE Technology does not detect tape or
fingerprints or marks from pens or markers because these appear as part of the image
and not as surface defects. DIGITAL ICE Technology should not be used to scan printed
items like magazines.
DIGITAL ICE Technology supports color and chromogenic (dye-based) black and white
film. For best results, do not use with conventional black and white negative film or
Kodachrome
™
film.
