Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What separates the Perfection 4990 Photo from this 4990 Pro model?
  While the hardware layout is identical, the Perfection 4990 Pro package features an upgraded studio software bundle. It swaps the standard scanning utilities for LaserSoft SilverFast Ai 6 and MonacoEZcolor 2.5 software, accompanied by physical reflective and transmissive IT8 targets to calibrate color output perfectly.
• How do I utilize the physical IT8 targets included with this Pro system?
  You perform a high-precision color profile calibration pass. By placing the IT8 target on the scanner glass or transparency deck, scanning it, and feeding the image to MonacoEZcolor software, the tool automatically writes a custom ICC profile to synchronize scanner color accuracy with your monitors.
• Can I scan multiple 4 inches x 5 inches sheets simultaneously on this workspace?
  Yes. The vast 8 inches by 10 inches transparency light window installed inside the upper lid provides an expansive scanning area. The provided template frame configuration allows you to align and batch scan up to two separate 4 inches by 5 inches sheets on a single hardware pass.
