detailed in
Scanning Non-Damaged Photos (the column to the left). If the

it, with the side that reads “This side up” facing up”, as described in the
“Using the TMA 1000XL” section of this Guide.

the DIGITAL ICE option in the Settings window that works best for you.
Select
Normal or Strong.
NOTE

tone reflective originals such as photos. It is not designed to work with slides,
negatives, transparencies, and printed matter.
3. If the colors in your photo are faded and need restoring, check the
Automatic Color Restoration

The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) program included with your
ScanMaker 1000XL is used to calibrate your scanner to achieve consistent
and accurate color.
Two industry-standard Kodak IT8 color targets are included for calibration:
a Reflective 5”x7” target to calibrate the scanner for scanning photos; and a
Transparency 4”x5” target to calibrate the scanner for scanning film.
You will be asked to calibrate your scanner the first time you run
ScanWizard Pro to try to scan. You may skip calibration to proceed directly
to scanning, and then choose to come back at a later time to perform
calibration.
For more details on calibration, refer to the ScanMaker 1000XL User Guide,
and see the
Using the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler section.
