Placing Slides
You can scan up to four 35mm slides at a time using the slide
portion of the film holder.
Note:
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 slides.
Do not cover any of the small holes in the film holder or the slots on
the sides of the film holder.
1. Place the film holder on the document table so that it is
aligned as shown. Make sure the tab labelled “C” on the
film holder fits into the area labelled “C” on the scanner.
2. Place up to four slides in the film holder with the shiny base
side facing down. Your images should appear backwards on
the side that faces up. Your images should be oriented as
shown.
3. Make sure you removed the document mat. See “Removing
the Document Mat” on page 5.
4. Close the scanner cover.
To scan your slides, see “Scanning” on page 8.
When you are finished scanning slides, be sure to replace the
document mat before scanning documents or photos. See
“Replacing the Document Mat” on page 8.
Placing Medium Format Film
1. Open the cover on the medium format film holder.
2. Slide one medium format film image into the film holder
with the shiny base side facing down. Your image and any
wording on the film should appear backwards on the side
that faces up. Make sure the entire image frame is
positioned in the film holder opening.
Note:
Hold the edge of the film gently when touching the film;
otherwise you may damage the film.
Do not cover any of the small holes in the film holder or the slot
on the side of the film holder; otherwise, the scanner may have
trouble recognizing which film holder you are using.
3. Close the cover over the film and press it down until it
clicks. Then press down on all the edges of the cover to
secure it.
4. Make sure the film is placed as shown.
