DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology is an advanced technology that reconstructs damaged photos during the scanning process, transforming the traditional photo restoration process into one that is automatic, fast, and economical. Unlike software- only correction, DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology is built into your ScanMaker i900, providing a seamless reconstruction process that brings damaged photos back to near-original condition. The Reconstruction Process DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology creates a defect map to identify the precise locations of physical defects or visual “noise” on the print being scanned. The scanner's differential shadowing technology and proprietary software algorithms then quickly and automatically eliminate the unwanted defects. In addition, Microtek has developed a unique Image Registration Technology that is built into your scanner to ensure precise color registration and superior image quality. Because two scanning passes and two lamps are required in the use of DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology, precise registration is crucial in order to produce a perfectly aligned image from the twin scanning passes. Microtek's Image Registration Technology ensures accurate movement of the scanner mechanism, so that the mechanical steps during the scanning process are registered with the ultra-fine precision needed for superior, accurate scans. Using Applicable Scan Materials DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology is used in the ScanMaker i900 to reconstruct damaged photos. It is not designed to be used for printed materials from newspapers and magazines, or printouts from inkjet/laser printers.

Using the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) is a scanner calibration and profiling utility program designed exclusively for Microtek scanners. Used together with the color calibration target, the ICC Profiler determines the color attributes of your scanner accurately, then generates an ICC profile tailored exclusively for the scanner that you are using under ScanWizard Pro. MSP and IT8 Calibration Data Installation Before installing MSP, ScanWizard Pro needs to be installed on your system. This will ensure that the MSP utility will install and function properly. To install MSP, take note of the following: • For PC: Following the ScanWizard Pro installation and the MSP installation will automatically launch. Follow the on-screen instructions to install and you will be prompted to insert the IT8 Calibration Data CD included in your software kit. Insert the IT8 Calibration Data CD to ensure that the MSP utility will have the latest color profile targets to reference. Then the MSP installation is complete. • For Mac OS X: Double click the MSP installer icon. After installing the software, insert the IT8 Calibration Data CD and double-click the IT8 installer icon. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the IT8 Calibration Data to ensure that the MSP utility will have the latest color profile targets to reference. Then the MSP installation is complete. • For Mac OS 9.x: Double-click the Scanner ICC Profiler folder, then double-click the ICC Profiler installer icon. Calibration Kit The calibration kit for your MSP program comprises two industry-standard color targets: a Reflective target (IT8, size 5" x 7"); and a Transparency target (IT8, size 4" x 5"). The calibration targets are very delicate and must be handled carefully. Take note of the following: • Gently remove targets from their respective protective sleeves and avoid touching the target image surface. • When not in use, keep targets in their sleeves and keep away from light and heat. Note: To keep the colors in your scanner consistent, you should perform color calibration on a regular basis. Professional photographers, graphic designers or others who require extremely precise color may wish to calibrate the scanner every time it is used. Positioning the Target Proper positioning of the target on the scanner is important for successful calibration. Incorrect positioning of the target will result in an unsuccessful calibration.

A. Positioning the Reflective Target 1. Place the target face down on the glass surface of the scanner bed, making sure that the right side of the target (with the woman's portrait) is positioned toward the scanner's front panel, with its edge firmly aligned against the scanner's top ruler. 2. Using the scanner's top ruler as a point of reference, adjust the target so that it is positioned at the center of the scanner glass bed. Make sure the woman's portrait lies towards the front of the scanner Make sure the woman's portrait lies towards the right side of the scanner B. Positioning the Transparent Target 1. Flip and place the transparent target in the 4" x 5" Film Holder; orientation of the target is critical. Make sure that the side of the target (with the woman's portrait) is at the right side of the scanner — where the Kodak logo is positioned at the upper-right corner. 2. Place the 4" x 5" Film Holder into the Main Holder, then put this assembly in the transparency bay of the scanner.
