Note:

When using DIGITAL ICE Technology to scan printed photos, select a resolution between 50 and 1200 dpi. Note that DIGITAL ICE Technology does not detect tape or fingerprints or marks from pens or markers because these appear as part of the image and not as surface defects. DIGITAL ICE Technology should not be used to scan printed items like magazines.

DIGITAL ICE Technology supports color and chromogenic (dye-based) black and white film. For best results, do not use with conventional black and white negative film or Kodachromefilm.
