Information:

Load slides with the SHINY side facing the right side of the tray, this will result in a backwards

scanned image, but due to the hardware design this is necessary to obtain the best scan quality.

Supported Slide Trays:

Braun Paximat S (White tray) and PIE Dark gray tray (bundled) designed for thicker cardboard

mounted slides 2 - 3.2mm thickness.
Paximat Compact Magazine (Black tray) for mounted slides up to 2mm thickness, plastic and thin
cardboard mounts.

CS Magazine for CS/CS2-mounted slides (European design
Universal Magazine DIN 108 (open top design) for slides up to 3.0mm thickness
KLM Magazine for slides up to 2mm thickness

NO OTHER BRANDS OF TRAYS OR CAROUSELS SUPPORTED

Glass slides that are attached to glass frames may cause complications due to the hard edges and
thickness, nothing thicker than 3mm can be scanned.

”Multipass Xposure” - When enabled multi-exposure performs a triple scan to
obtain the best possible image, this process captures the three individual scans, first
a normal pass then two more scans to highlight the shadow details to expose the
darker areas more fully,
the software then intuitively calculates the final scan, which now contains the data
from all three scans.

”Multiple sampling” - Configure the settings to scan a single image (multiple times)
2x, 4x, 8x or 16x for the highest quality output. Please note this greatly increases scan
time. With multisampling image noise is a thing of the past.

Basic Quick Scanning or once you have everything configured to your liking

1. Turn on scanner wait for green light to come on solid, indicating it is fully warmed up

2. Open Cyberview and click on Reload Magazine icon on the toolbar, to rest the scanners internal counter back to
ZERO, this will alleviate it stopping for no apparent reason mid tray

Tips for Hassle Free Scanning

30

3. Load the tray full of slides, and then begin your scanning

4. Go to Scan – Scan – Multi-Scan to file – set Range 1-50 more detailed information below

NOTE:

If the scanner sits quietly for 10-15 minutes it will go to sleep and loose communication

EXAMPLE: You set it up to scan a tray, then walk away, it then finishes and has been sitting, the software will then

produce “Unable to communicate” errors

TO FIX: You must Close Cyberview, Turn off the scanner, wait 10 seconds, turn on the scanner and then wait for the full
warm up to a solid green light before starting the Cyberview software again.

Advanced Tips

Slide numbering tips

Go to Scan – Preference - Positive Film – This is where you will set up your desired configuration settings

Directory – This is where the files will be saved to

31
To change the Default Save to location select BROWSE

Base File Name is the name each file will be given with a number following

Trailing Index after base file name - Is the number of digits you would like in your file naming sequence, default number

is 3 - Image001, you can select 1-6 digits for this which would result in naming as follows Image1, Image01, Image001,
Image0001, Image0001, Image00001, Image000001 – this can be changed at any time

Example Image001 is the default so the files will be named Image001, Image002 and so on
You can customize this to a name of your choosing to aid in organization
Examples: Germany_ would result in file names Germany_001, Germany_002
Or
Slides_ then the names would be Slides_001, Slides_002 the underscore leaves a nice separation from the number of the
file, another option is to use years

1970_ file names would be 1970_001, 1970_002, 1970_003 etc.

User Define Start number – this allows custom numbering and when selecting SAVE on exit will keep track of where you

left off, on what slide number next in the sequence, Film index counts the slot #’s and can get tricky if you scan less than
full trays or have to start in the middle after a jam.

When batch scanning the included tray holds 50 slides, therefore when selecting Scan – Multi-Scan to File - Set Range it
will be the PHYSICAL number of slides in the tray 1-50 if full, or 1- however many you have in the tray

32

Current Frame applies to scanning a single slide inserted through the top slide holder

NOTE: This number will only EVER go over 50 if you are using the aftermarket BRAUN Carousel then it will be Range 1-100

as this carousel must always be used full to keep the weight evenly distributed.

File Type
TIF – Uncompressed best quality – Best used when you want to post edit the scans before burning to DVD etc. provides

the most data to work with when editing

JPG - Compressed – compression is advanced making the files small – compresses and discards much of the original
scanned image data during the save process
EXAMPLE an 1000 dpi, 8 bit (billions of colors) TIF image is approximately 3.83 MB, selecting the JPG 100 will give you a less
than 786 kb image from that original 3.83 MB and if you select 16 bit color (trillions of colors) the TIF would be 7.87 MB vs
the same 786 kb for JPG, because JPG compression does not support 16 bit color option.

For the best possible images for editing use TIF - 16 bit
For Archiving for just burning to disk making slide shows etc. no editing involved, JPG is a good choice
Also if you scan at 5000 dpi the TIF would be 196.7 MB and the resulting JPG will be of much higher quality at 16.2 MB

NOTE: The scanner can only physically scan TIF images, the JPG conversion is all handled by the software, so scanning in

TIF vs JPG using the same resolution settings will not result in longer scan times, only DPI settings can affect this.

Removing a jammed slide from inside the scanner

1. Close the CyberView scanning software

2. Turn off the scanner power, disconnect the power cable from the back of the unit

3. Remove the cap from the slide retrieval area (Fig. 1)

4. Next remove the inner slide aligner (Fig 2.) by lifting straight up and out

5.
