The Microtek models have several operating modes, for example flatbed, TMA<br>
|
||
and automatic document feeder. The TMA mode is used for dedicated<br>
|
||
transparency adapters (for example, when you replace the lid of the<br>
|
||
scanner by a lid with a builtin lamp), not for this 35mm-adapter.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
They also have modes for stripes and slides. When this obscure adapter<br>
|
||
came out I thought that the stripe and slide modes could have something<br>
|
||
to do with this adapter and invented this lightlid-35 option. Obviously<br>
|
||
this is not case.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Normally the attributes of these different modes (for example<br>
|
||
the scan area sizes or the data formats between these modes might be<br>
|
||
different) can be inquired. But on my own X6 I tried to <br>
|
||
inquire the attributes of all possible modes, i.e. all bit combinations,<br>
|
||
that could represent such a mode - even the reserved ones - and got<br>
|
||
only errors.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Moreover, it is normally possible to determine during runtime whether<br>
|
||
a (real) TMA is actually connected to the device. This isn't possible, too,<br>
|
||
for this 35mm-adapter. From the backend's point of view this device is<br>
|
||
simply not present, whether it is connected or not.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To state it clearly: This 35mm-adapter has nothing to do with the TMA<br>
|
||
option of the backend.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Thus all you can do is to put it onto the glass of the scanner and start<br>
|
||
a scan from the flatbed...<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Considering my own observations this behaviour is consistent with the<br>
|
||
behaviour under Windows, but maybe there are models that behave different.<br>
