Bonus accessory for scanner

Microtek LightLid

Installing and Getting Started

The LightLid 35 is a bonus accessory

included with your Microtek scanner. It gives

you the versatility to scan 35mm slides on

your flatbed scanner.

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 built-in

film-scanning features.

Please note: Scanning of color negatives may vary, depending on the quality of your

film original.

1. Unpack the LightLid 35.

2. Remove the scanner lid.

3. Connect the LightLid 35 to your scanner. To do this:

Connect the 15-pin connector (A in diagram) of your

LightLid 35 to the accessory port (B) at the back panel

of your scanner.

1. Mount the 35mm slide or filmstrip on the LightLid 35.

Turn the LightLid 35 over. Insert the

35mm slide front side up into the

recessed area at the center of the

LightLid. Secure the slide by gripping it

with the grip prong provided at the

connector side of the recessed area.

For added stability, you may wish to

secure the slide with a piece of

adhesive tape.
