KM DSE 5400 II: how to set the KM software for raw scan?

I want to use the scanner with the accompanying software
and get raw scans. My plan is to process the images later,
maybe again in the future, and have access to the digitised
images (slides and negs).

I expect that I will use the "DiMAGE Scan Utility".

Does the software do a real raw scan out of the box or should
I turn off some features?

I assume that things like ICE should be done at scan time
as it uses a separate light source (does it?). Same for multiple
pass scans (should I bother with my family/holiday pics?).

Can I use the software to process an image I saved earlier? I
could not find the option for opening a disk file.

TIA
.
