Scan Material
This command allows you to select your scan
material — whether it is Reflective (photographs
and prints), Positive Transparency, or Negative
Film.
If you are using a dual-bed scanner such as the
ArtixScan 2020 or ScanMaker 4, all three scan
material options will be available for you to
choose from.
If you are using a flatbed scanner, the Positive
Transparency and Negative Film options will
not be available for selection unless you use a
Transparency Media Adapter with the scanner,
which will then let you scan transparencies and
film media.
To select the scan material:
1. Choose the Scan Material command in the
Preferences menu. From the submenu that
appears, select your scan material.
2. Alternatively, you can also click the Scan
Material icon (beside the Scan button), and
then choose the correct scan material from
the drop-down menu that appears.
