The LightLid 35 is specially designed to scan 35mm slides and filmstrips. 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 builtin film-scanning features. Before proceeding with film scanning, take note of the following two sections to install the LightLid 35 first. A. Make sure that the scanner is powered off; then plug the connector of the LightLid into the scanner's 15-pin accessory port. B. Installing the LightLid 35 Calibrator The LightLid 35 Calibrator is a utility program designed for calibrating the LightLid 35 to ensure that it captures colors accurately when scanning slides and filmstrips. Place the Microtek CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. [. . . ] Secure the slide by gripping it with the grip prong provided at the connector side of the recessed area. Grip prong for securing slide 2. Place the LightLid 35 with the loaded film on the scan bed. The LightLid 35 can be placed horizontally at the front edge of the scanner glass bed, or vertically anywhere on the glass surface, as shown on page 12. Follow the procedures (steps 3 through 7) for scanning 35mm filmstrips to carry out scanning. [. . . ]
