You determine the “optimal” setting for your images. To ensure that as many pixels of the imager as possible are used for you images, your image should fill the scanning area vertically. This will typically occur with the slider in the middle (nominal) range of the scanner either at, or within a few percentage points either way, of the center of the slider.
However you may wish to use other settings. To ensure that you obtain all of the image for one piece of film after another, you may wish to leave magnification at the negative end (underscanning) of the magnification slider. On the other hand if you always have “extra” space around the portion of the image you want to use, then you may wish to leave magnification at the positive end (overscanning) of the magnification slider.
The most recently used magnification setting for each film size is maintained from one work session to the next in the preferences file for the Scanner.

NOTE: If you have changed the film size, the Scanner must recalibrate and focus. As prompted by the message that occurs, remove a film holder if present and place the calibration mask into the Scanner. Follow additional prompts as they appear to: remove the calibration mask, replace the film holder (with your film in it), and wait for recalibration and focusing to complete.
