ScanMaker 9800XL
Network scanning in Windows
Save on resources with LANShare, a utility included in the ScanMaker 9800XL. When
space or resource allocation limits the number of scanners that can be installed, network
scanning lets you share the scanner on a local area network, enabling other computers
to use the scanner as if it were locally connected.
Triple interface for true versatility
A triple interface lets you connect the scanner to the widest array of computers on the
market today. Choose from FireWire or USB for fast data transfer, hot swap, and easy
connectivity. For those who want SCSI-2, the ScanMaker 9800XL offers this popular
interface as well.
As the scanner of choice for digital artist
Bonny Lhotka and animation cell restorer
Ron Stark, the ScanMaker 9800XL plays a
pivotal role in the creation and preservation
of art by these ground-breaking innovators.
Lhotka, a member of the nationally
renowned group of artists comprising the
Digital Atelier, uses Microtek's large-format
scanner to fuse elements of traditional art
with real-world artifacts and modern-day
objects to create exciting hybrid art forms.
In her work entitled "Lily", for instance,
Lhotka scanned a flower from her garden
on the ScanMaker 9800XL, then combined
it with a digital photo taken of a wooden
tray as the initial step towards the creation
of a mixed-media fresco.
For Ron Stark, an animation cel restoration
expert and archival historian, the ScanMaker
9800XL is an important tool in his lab. As
director of S/L Laboratories Animation Art
Conservation Center in Westlake Village in
Los Angeles, Stark uses the scanner to
digitally archive restored cels – those
individual pieces of art on clear plastic that
were used to make the animated films of
yore. The scanner's extra-large bed size is
especially helpful in accommodating large
panels of animation art, and the scanner's
superior optics are critical in making sure
the colors are captured accurately for
archiving. The results of the scan can be
seen on Stark's web site and in the CD-
ROM and catalog he publishes twice a year,
where the art pieces are auctioned off to
eager collectors.
"I've done virtually anything and everything
with the scanner," says Stark, who uses the
ScanMaker 9800XL to scan restored cells
for archiving and print publishing. "This is
really the workhorse of our digital imaging
environment." The carefully restored cels are
captured perfectly and accurately by the
ScanMaker 9800XL. "I use it every day," he
says, "and it's been fantastic!"

Professional imaging
A dream machine for professional and
graphic designers, the ScanMaker 9800XL
boasts of remarkable optics. It captures
images in true 48-bit color (input and
output). Its optical resolution of 1600 x
3200 dpi (12,800 dpi interpolated) lets you
scan even postage-size images and blow
them up with amazing clarity, with little
loss of detail. And the scanner's 3.7
maximum optical density allows it to
capture a wide range of tones
approximating real-life color and hues.
Support for film scanning
Add the optional Transparent Media Adapter,
and the ScanMaker 9800XL is ready to scan
X-rays, positive transparencies, and negative
film. The included templates accommodate a
variety of film sizes including 35mm filmstrips
and slides, 6 cm x 9 cm film, and 4" x 5".
Multiple sampling for
exceptional image quality
Built into the scanner, multiple sampling
effectively minimizes signal fluctuation and
artifacts, contributing to purer image output
and enhanced optical density range. Each
scanned line is sampled in user-selectable
frequencies (2, 4, 8 or 16), with the samples
then averaged out to eliminate image noise
and distill top-quality data.
Scan oversized originals
With its huge 12" x 17" bed size, the
ScanMaker 9800XL is the perfect scanner
for photographers, graphic design houses,
production environments, and medical offices.
The tabloid-size scan bed allows easy and
efficient scanning of contact sheets, large
pieces of art, mechanical blue prints, and X-rays.

scanner gives you all the benefits of
superior digital imaging tailored for large-
format, work-intensive production
environments. And with powerful
