Microtek 35t plus User Guide

The Preferences menu lets you:
•  Choose the correct scan material
•  Create effects like invert and mirror
•  View cursor lines to help you with alignment
•  Control the size of your preview window
•  Keep your last preview image after you finish scanning
•  Create a smoked glass background to help distinguish the active scan frame
•  Set other options, such as specifying a working directory for files

This command allows you to select the correct scan material, which can
be classified into three types:

•  Reflectives (such as photographs or prints)
•  Positives
•  Negatives

The options available to you in the Scan Material submenu will depend
on your equipment. For instance, the positive and negative option will be
active only if you're using a Transparent Media Adapter (TMA) with
your scanner.

If you are scanning negatives or positives, make sure you specify the
correct scan material before scanning the image, or you will get inaccu-
rate scanning results.

The Scan Material function is also related to the Tints tool,
an image-enhancement function in the Settings window.
Refer to that section for more details.
