2     ScanMaker 1000XL Plus User Guide

The ScanMaker 1000XL Plus comes with several important features, including the 

following: 

•  Large 12" x 16.9" scan bed: The tabloid-size scan bed of the ScanMaker 1000XL Plus 

lets you easily scan oversized originals, contact sheets, large pieces of art, mechanical 

blueprints, and X-rays.

•  3200 x 6400-dpi resolution: The exceptionally high resolution of the ScanMaker 1000XL 

Plus lets you scan even postage-size images and enlarge them with amazing clarity, with 

little loss of detail. The scanner's 4.2 maximum optical density allows it to capture a wide 

range of tones approximating real-life color and hues.

•  Smart-Touch button :  A Smart-Touch button (Scan) locating at the front panel of the 

scanner provides you a quick and easy way to capture images that can be automatically 

saved as files or sent to another application for further processing later.

•  Energy-saving LED light source: Adopting LEDs as the light source, when the scanner 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. 

•  Microtek's ColoRescue

TM

 system:  With ColoRescue, the ScanMaker 1000XL Plus restores 

faded colors in photos and film, bringing hues back to their original luster and brilliance for 

more vibrant images. ColoRescue's one-click, automatic color recovery process is simple 

and straightforward, involving no learning curve or hassle.

•  Transparent Media Adapter: The TMA 1600-III is available as either standard equipment 

or optional accessory (depending on the configuration of the ScanMaker 1000XL Plus 

that you purchased). With the use of the TMA 1600-III, you can scan X-rays, positive 

transparencies, and negative film. The included templates accommodate a variety of film 

sizes, including 35mm slides, 35mm filmstrips, 4" x 5" film, and medium format film from 

6 x 4.5-cm up to 6 x 17-cm panoramic film.

•  Microtek ScanWizard™ Pro scanning software (PC): This is an advanced scanner 

controller program that provides many powerful, professional-level features for scanning. 

ScanWizard Pro includes the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) program, which allows 

users to calibrate the scanner and generate the appropriate ICC color profile to ensure color 

consistency and accuracy during the scanning process. ScanWizard Pro also features two 

color spaces, allowing users to work in the Native CMYK / RGB mode, as well as in the 

intuitive LCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue) mode.

•  ScanPotter scanning software (Mac): ScanPotter is a scanning software developed 

exclusively for Microtek scanners running on a Mac system. ScanPotter has a 

unique and clean interface that users will find productive and easy to use.
