How to Scan with Scan Frames
Scan Frames are for use with transparencies and negatives. Scan Frames can hold a source
document of a slightly smaller size. Orientation holes are located on the short sides of the frames.
When one or more of these frames are placed on the scanner’s object glass and the “Preview” button
is clicked, the scanner will automatically detect the existence of each frame, using the orientation
holes for reference, and will only include what is within each Scan Frame in the resulting scanned
image.
To use the Scan Frames, do the following:

1.
Ensure the Transparency Adapter is fitted before proceeding with the scan.
Open the Scan Frame and place the source document inside, taking care not to cover the
orientation holes.
Lift up the Scanner transparency adapter and place the Scan Frame on the scanner’s object
glass.
Carefully align the Scan Frame so that it’s exactly parallel with one of the rulers bordering the
scanner’s object glass. You can easily do this by simply placing the scan Frame against one of
the rulers.
Note:
Although misalignment will not prevent the scanner from scanning, portions of the Scan
Frame may appear in the resulting scan if the frame is not perfectly aligned.
Choose “Transparent” option from the MagicScan. For detailed information on using the frame
holders, refer to your MagicScan online help.
Also, you can select the “Frame Holder” option from the MagicScan. And click the “Preview”
button. MagicScan will automatically detect the existence of each frame.

Lift up the A4 Scanner’s transparency adapter and place the Slide Tray on the scanner’s object
glass.
Line the orientation holes up in such a way that the entire tray fits on to the object glass and the
slide tray borders line up with the rulers on the scanner’s object glass.
Note:
Although misalignment will not prevent the scanner from scanning, portions of the Slide
Tray may appear in the resulting scan if the frame is not perfectly aligned.
