Introduction
The ScanWizard Industry scanning software is specifically designed for the use
of the industry film scanning. This reference manual covers the various
commands and features found in the ScanWizard Industry scanning software
for the Windows system. The reference information is divided into three major
sections, corresponding to the three major windows of the program:
• Preview

The ScanWizard Industry functions do not apply to all scanner models. See the
table below to determine which function can be used for your scanner model.

The Preview and Settings windows appear automatically after the ScanWizard
Industry is started up. The Scan Job Queue window appears when you bring up

Preview Area
The preview area is where the overview or prescan image appears after you click
the Overview, Prescan, or Scan button.
The dimensions of preview area depend on the sizes supported by the scanner.
For example, if your scanner only supports a maximum size of 12” x 16”, the
maximum preview area will be limited under this limitation.
To increase or decrease the
preview window, drag the
window to resize
ScanWizard Industry Reference Manual 7
However, for some scanner models (ex. MII-900 Plus), you are allowed to resize
the preview area as you wish.
For example, the MII-900 Plus offers you two kinds of dimensions of preview
area, which are 14" x 17" (default) and 14" x 52" (maximum), depending on
which one you select in the Scan Frame settings. You can use the maximum size
instead of the default size for the preview area by entering a value greater than
17, for example, 20, in the Height (H) edit box of the Scan Frame settings. Then,
press the Overview button to perform a preview of the image. Thereafter, the
preview area will be resized to the maximum size of 14" x 52" at once.
For MII-900 Plus, enter a value
greater than 17 to expand the
preview area up to maximun size of
14" x 52" if needed; enter a value
less than or equal to 17 to reverse
the value back to the default size.
Please take note that you cannot use the Scan Frame settings to resize the
preview area given by using the Scan Frame tool.

“Image00002.tif”, etc. You can change the default root file name to uniquely
label your scan jobs.

view of the image. Only your view of the preview image is changed; the actual
size of the image remains unaffected.

selected, click the image. A minus sign will be in the middle of the lens to indicate
