The LightLid 35 Plus is a bonus accessory included with your Microtek scanner,
providing you with the versatility to scan 35mm slides and filmstrips 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 transparencies may vary, depending on the quality of
your film original.

A. Installing the LightLid 35 Plus

1. Unpack the LightLid 35 Plus.

2. Remove the scanner lid.

3. Plug the connector (9-pin or 15-pin) of
the LightLid 35 Plus into the accessory
port at the back panel of your scanner.

Note: Make sure the scanner is powered
off before making the LightLid 35 Plus
connection.
