Knowing about Your Film Digitizer
The MII-900 Plus is a sheet-fed film digitizer, which is specifically designed for the
use of the RT X-ray film scanning. The MII-900XL can capture details in bright
and dark areas of industrial RT X-ray films and provide the professionals a
convenient method to digitize the physical originals for the electric data storage,
saving maintenance time and storage space enormously.
Features of the MII-900 Plus
The MII-900 Plus comes with several important features, including the following:
• Premium Image Quality — With a high resolution of 2400 dpi, a dynamic
range of 4.7 Dmax, and the 16-bit grayscale, the MII-900 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.
• Support various sizes of X-ray films - The MII-900 Plus covers the scanning
of all standard RT X-ray film sizes from 2.5" x 2.5" to 14" x 52", which
offers more flexibility to digitize X-ray films.
• Exclusive Film Holders — These specially designed industrial film holders are
used to hold films in place. By loading industrial film holders with loaded films
before scanning, you can ensure perfect alignment of your scanned images
and achieve consistent scans. Two types of industrial film holders provided,
they are 8.5" x 4.5" and 12" x 3 1/3".
• Fast scanning speed — The MII-900 Plus increases your productivity with
fast scanning speed of 18 seconds or less at 300 dpi for a grayscale scan of
14" x 17" film.

data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbit/sec.
• Easy to operate, clean and maintain — The MII-900 Plus requires virtually no
routine maintenance and no daily cleaning, which is ideal for radiographic
inspection industry.
• Microtek ScanWizard Industry software — The friendly user interface of
ScanWizard Medi converts X-ray films in a computer readable format, offering
an easy and quick access and management.
— Auto crop: This feature automatically crops the scan frame to fit the size
of the original film when scanning film with provided film holders.
MII-900 Plus User's Manual 9
— 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.

Care and Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance from the MII-900 Plus, it is important to clean
several critical parts of the digitizer on a regular basis.
Cleaning the Glass Surface
1. Push down two Release buttons at both sides of the front cover of the
digitizer and open the front cover.
When opening the front cover, support the both sides of the front cover with
your hands, avoiding suddenly falling down of the front cover.
2. Using a soft and non-abrasive, lint-free cloth, clean the inner glass surface on
the digitizer.
32 MII-900 Plus User's Manual
Cleaning the Diffuser
The diffuser is used when you scan a X-ray film or transparent material. The
cleanness of the diffuser decides whether your digitizer may deal with the right
lightness of scanned transparent materials.
To clean the diffuser:
1. Push down two buttons at both sides of the front cover of the digitizer and
open the front cover.
When opening the front cover, support the both sides of the front cover with
your hands, avoiding suddenly falling down of the front cover.
2. Use the same kind of cloth for cleaning the digitizer glass surface to clean the
white diffuser located at the middle of the front cover.
Cleaning the Rollers
Prolonged used of the digitizer may result in accumulation of ink and other residue
on the feeder’s rollers, affecting their efficiency. Clean the rollers periodically to
maintain performance.
Rollers are found in two areas of the MII-900 Plus: Directly on the digitizer, and
on the side of the front cover.
To clean the two sets of rollers:
1. Push down two buttons at both sides of the front cover of the digitizer and
open the front cover.
When opening the front cover, support the both sides of the front cover with
your hands, avoiding suddenly falling down of the front cover.
MII-900 Plus User's Manual 33
2. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth or a swab moistened with alcohol or
ECO cleaner, as shown in the graphic below. Remember to clean the rollers on
the digitizer and the front cover at the same time.
Maintenance
After usage for a period of time, the parts inside your digitizer, such as rollers or
light source, may become worn out, and a problem such as insufficient light
supply may occur. In this cases, contact your local dealers or wholesales for the
maintenance services.
Note: Your digitizer need a professional to perform the required service or
maintenance. Do not attend to fix or perform the maintenance by yourself, or it
may cause dangers to you or the digitizer.
