How to Configure a Konica Minolta Scanner

Konica Minolta marketed a line of dedicated film scanners up until 2005. Depending on the scanner you opted to buy you could scan 35 mm, 6-by-6 cm, 6-by-4.5 cm, 6-by-7 cm and 6-by-9 cm slide, color and black and white film. The scanners included a number of features including auto focus, the ICE dust removal system, an anti-aliasing program known as GEM and color restorer program Minolta called ROC. While not small, the Konica Minolta scanners where physically smaller than some other comparable scanners. The Multi PRO Scanner measured at 7 inches wide, 15 inches deep and 5 inches tall, and weighed 8 pounds.
