Like a roof on your scanner (The top angel must be 90�) /\ / \ look to the frontside of the scanner (IIIIII) IIIIIIII Lightrays go up eg. to the left mirror side reflects to the right and go down through the slide which is under the right side. The complete mirror construction should not be plan to the scanner but it has to rise a bit on one side. At the front side of the scanner when the CCD row is in front of the scanner-lamp or at the back side when the CCD row is behind the scanner lamp. (Always seen from the scanner front) Well a bit difficult to explain :-) I know that there was a web-page but I do not know it anymore :-( Andreas - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
