Knowing about Your Film Digitizer
The Medi-6000 Plus is a sheet-fed transparency film digitizer that can easily
transfer radiographs and x-ray films into a digital format. The digitized images are
intended for the use in primary, secondary and over reading applications. This
device is not to be used for primary image diagnosis in mammography. Also, it is
specifically designed for the trained medical professionals or staff. The Medi6000 Plus can capture details in bright and dark areas of x-ray films and provide
the medical professionals a convenient method to digitize the roentgenogram for
the electric data storage.
Features of the Medi-6000 Plus
The Medi-6000 Plus comes with several important features, including the
following:
• Premium Image Quality — With a high optical resolution of 600 dpi, a
dynamic range of 4.0 Dmax, and the 16-bit grayscale, the Medi-6000 Plus
allows users to get better image details in just seconds.
• Energy-saving LED light source — Adopting LEDs as the light source, when
the digitizer is detected by the system, there are no requirements for any
warm-up time before carrying out the scan, which boots your productivity and
reduces energy costs amazingly. With its stable performance, the image
quality will remain consistent even after used for a certain period of time.
• Various sizes of x-ray films — The Medi-6000 Plus covers various sizes of
sheets or x-ray films from 2.5" x 2.5" to 14" x 35", which offers more
flexibility to digitize old records or x-ray films.
• Ultra high scanning speed — The Medi-6000 Plus increases your productivity
with fast scanning speed, which is less than 12 seconds at 300 dpi for
grayscale scans.
• Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) port — Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) is capable of high
data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbit/sec.
• Easy to operate, clean and maintain — The Medi-6000 Plus requires virtually
no routine maintenance and no daily cleaning, which is ideal for busy
radiology departments.
• Microtek ScanWizard Medi software — The friendly user interface of
ScanWizard Medi stores X-ray pictures in a computer readable format, offering
an easy and quick access and management.
— Auto-scan: With this feature, the Medi-6000 Plus automatically performs
a scan job once when it detects a X-ray film put on the Feed Tray. No
matter a novice or an expert can start scanning immediately.
Medi-6000 Plus User's Manual 13
— Auto crop: This feature automatically detects the size of the original
image, crops the full scan frame to fit the image, and removes unwanted
black borders.
— Auto density: This feature enables the digitizer to optimize the image
density automatically when scanning a X-ray film. It automatically defines
the lightest and darkest pixels in a scanned image and then redistribute
the intermediate pixel values proportionately.
— Customized exposure: This manual setting tool allows you to customize
an exposure time for the scanned image. It enhances the visibility of
extreme dark film, delivering a better scanning result and improving the
quality of saved files.

Unpacking Your Film Digitizer
Looking for Damage
While unpacking your digitizer, inspect the shipping carton for any signs of
mishandling or damage. The digitizer’s packing carton and padding material have
been carefully chosen to prevent damage to the unit in shipping and can withstand
a reasonable amount of pressure.
After unpacking your digitizer package, refer to the later section to ensure that you
received all of the parts necessary for digitizer setup. If there are any damaged or
missing parts, notify the shipper immediately or contact customer service.
NOTE: Save the carton and all packing materials. If you need to ship the digitizer
later, it is recommended that you should repack it using the original wire ties,
plastic bags, foam supports and cartons, which protects your digitizer from
unnecessary damage. Refer to the later section “How to Repack Your Film Digitizer
for Shipping” for the detail.
