There's a Batch Mode available in SilverFast but the only thing it does is to increment a counter in the filename. They're on about putting the non-glossy side down, but you can't always see the difference between the two sides, in which case you might as well just pick a side at random, as it doesn't appear to make a significant difference anyway.

The manual explains how to mount films into the holder.


While you can use the QuickScan one after having installed the driver, you need SilverFast to use the IntelliScan one. I haven't seen it really explicitly mentioned but you're probably supposed to directly use the buttons on the front of the scanner. The SilverFast one installs the SilverFast scanning program.It also includes some rather unneeded software, namely Presto! ImageFolio 4 which is a graphics editor and Presto! PageManager which is a file manager. The OpticFilm Series one installs the driver and a scanning program called QuickScan.This is all about trying to save seconds each film. Dealing with thousands of films is still hours' worth of interactive work. Still, the lot being intended for Windows and the feeding manual, nothing in this solution is meant to be automated. However, running the software suite that comes with the scanner in a VirtualBox running Windows will work fine. Here are impressions, tests and some practical advice on how to do so as quickly as possible.

I once scanned thousands of films with a Plustek OpticFilm 7400.
