2. Open the scanner cover and gently slide up the document 

mat to remove it. Also make sure the transparency unit 
transportation lock is unlocked.

3. Use a soft cloth to wipe the transparency unit window and 

the document table before placing your film or slides.

To place film for scanning, see “Placing Film in the Holder” 
below.

To place slides for scanning, see “Placing Slides in the Holder” 
on page 6.

Placing Film in the Holder

Placing 35 mm Film Strips

1. Open the film strip cover(s) on the film holder.

2. Slide one or two film strips all the way into the film holder 

with the shiny base side facing down. Your images and any 
wording on the film strips should appear backwards on the 
side that faces up.

Note: 

Hold the edge of the film gently or use gloves to touch the 

film; otherwise you may damage the film.

Make sure the white stickers on the back of the film holder and 
the areas around them are not scratched, dusty, or covered in 
any way. If the areas are obscured, the scanner may have trouble 
recognizing your film in Full Auto Mode.

Do not cover any of the tiny holes in the film holder or the 
scanner may have trouble recognizing which film holder you are 
using.

3. Close the covers over the film and press them down until 

they click. Then press down on all the edges of the covers to 
secure them.
