Quick Scanning Guide
The Polaroid SprintScan 45 multi-format film scanner allows
you to capture and convert film images into electronic files
that you can edit and incorporate into your documents and
presentations. The scanner can be connected to a Macintosh
computer, or an IBM-compatible computer with a SCSI host
adapter installed (see page 2-6).
For Macintosh users, the SprintScan 45 is shipped with a soft-
ware plug-in that allows you to acquire images in any Adobe
PhotoShop plug-in compliant application, then edit and print
them from within the application. For users of the Windows
operating system, the SprintScan 45 is shipped with a Micro-
soft Windows 95-compliant 16-bit driver. For information on
installing and using the software, see the software manual.
The scanner can accommodate 4x5, 2 1/4x 2 1/4, 2 1/4x 2 3/4,
and 35mm film formats. In the 35mm format size, up to four
images can be scanned at once. The unit can operate at volt-
ages from 100V to 240V.
The SprintScan 45 scanner captures images at 12 bits per
color channel and converts that image data into 24-bit color
images with over 16 million colors. It features multiple scan-
ning modes, error-detection and self-diagnostic capability.

Scanning modes
The digitized images can contain up to 4000 dpi (dots per
inch) of image information. Color is achieved with a tri-color
CCD in combination with a cold cathode fluorescent light
source. Two modes are available:
• 8-bit mode: Each dot can be represented by an 8-bit RGB
code per color, resulting in 256 levels of gray, or 16.7 million
colors. The original is scanned at 12-bits per channel, and the
results are optimized to 8-bits per channel to produce a 24-bit
RGB image.
• 12-bit mode: Each dot can be represented by a 12-bit code
per color, resulting in 4096 levels of gray or 68.7 billion RGB
colors.
