First it is not the Dimage Scan II that scans medium format but the Dimage Scan Multi, the Dimage Scan Multi II, and the Dimage Scan Multi Pro which scan medium format films. Minolta's model naming system can get very confusing with like sounding and looking names. The Dimage Scan II, I

I agree with Hill James: using the histogram is functional when you have feedback on what is going to be clipped. This could be achieved by 1. indicator color on the going to be clipped part of the image (seems complex to me to realize) or by 2. a measurement tool indicating rgb levels in 16 bit
