Easy Scan Utility is a simple, automatic scanning application for trouble-free scans.
The utility works as a stand-alone program, and cannot be launched through another
application.
Simply follow the steps below to create trouble-free scans:
1 Turn on the scanner (p. 19)
2 Launch the Easy Scan Utility (p. 24)
3 Load the film holders (p. 20)
Follow the instructions in the Easy Scan window. The Easy Scan Utility wizard will
take you through scanning procedure.
The following settings are automatically made when using the Easy Scan Utility:
• Autofocusing with each frame when using the FH-U1 and SH-U1 film holders.
• Autofocusing with the first frame when using the optional APS adapter.
• Index scan priority: speed setting (p. 45).
• Color depth: 8 bit.
• No multi-sample scanning.
• Automatic cropping to inside edge (p. 37).
• Color matching is on with the output color space set to sRGB (p. 60)

Launching the Easy Scan Utility
Turn on the scanner and close the front door before launching the Easy Scan Utility.
When launching the utility, the scanner front door must be closed and the film holder
removed. Do not launch the Easy Scan Utility if the DiMAGE Scan Dual III Utility has

Using the Easy Scan Utility
When the Easy Scan Utility is launched, the easy scan wizard appears. Simply fol-
low the instructions on the scan wizard to scan images.
A screen requesting to insert the film holder appears. Load the holder following the
instructions from page 20 to 23. When the holder is loaded, the scanner automatical-

detect function automatically sets the film type between color and black and white,
and positive and negative.
To exit the Easy Scan Utility, click the quit button. The film holder will be ejected or
the APS cassette in the optional adapter will be rewound automatically.
