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.
