Scanner notes
Film format and type settings
When scanning, the film type must be selected in the main window of the DiMAGE Scan Utility.
This scanner does not use glass holders and so the holder-type drop-down menu is deselected
and the film format cannot be changed. See scanner setup in the basic-scanning section of the
software manual.
Film type can be selected between color and black and white, positive and negative film. Film for
prints is negative film. Slide film is positive film.
Compatibility with the DiMAGE Scan Utility
The DiMAGE Scan software is compatible with many of Minolta’s high-end film scanners. This
means only one scanner driver needs to be installed on a computer with multiple scanner models
connected.
Because of the differences in specifications between scanners, some of the DiMAGE Scan func-
tions cannot be used with this scanner model. The following functions in described in the DiMAGE
Scan software manual are not available:
Digital ROC
Digital GEM
Scanner resolution
The maximum resolution for this scanner is 5400 dpi. The input resolution that can be entered in
the DiMAGE Scan Utility is from 337 dpi to the maximum resolution of 5400 dpi.
When the DiMAGE Scan Utility is installed, the scanner profiles listed below are automatically
installed for this model scanner, see the software manual for location. These profiles have been
included for advanced color matching with profile-to-profile conversions in sophisticated image-
processing or DTP applications. When using these profiles, the color reproduced may not be the
same as the color matching system in the utility software. See the color matching section in the
DiMAGE Scan software manual for the profile location.
MLTF5400.icc - used with positive film at any color depth other than 16-bit linear.
MLTF5400p.icc - used with positive film with 16-bit linear color depth.
