DIGITAL ICE Technology can remove dust marks that the Dust Removal feature cannot. However, it takes longer to
scan using DIGITAL ICE Technology and also uses more of your system resources. It is best to try removing dust marks
using Dust Removal before using DIGITAL ICE Technology. See
Removing Dust Marks with the Dust Removal Feature
details.
Note:
You cannot use Dust Removal and DIGITAL ICE Technology at the same time.
Do not use DIGITAL ICE Technology to scan photos, film, or slides that do not contain dust or
scratch marks; otherwise your scanned image(s) may be distorted or blurred.
You cannot use DIGITAL ICE Technology when scanning film with the film area guide.
Images scanned with DIGITAL ICE Technology may appear softer than your original images.
DIGITAL ICE Lite Technology is for scanning film and slides only.
