OADING THE FILM HOLDERS

Loading a film holder into the scanner

Using the FH-U1 and SH-U1 film holders

Before using the scanner, install the scanner utility software (p. 12). With the front
door closed, turn on the scanner and then start the computer. Launch the software
before inserting the film holder (p. 24, 31). Do not insert the film holder into the scan-
ner while the utility software is launching or the scanner is initializing; the indicator
lamp blinks slowly during this period.
When the indicator lamp glows steadily,
open the front door until the top of the
door is aligned with the 35mm film-hold-
er mark.
Insert the film holder into the scanner in
the direction indicated by the arrow. Hold
the holder straight and level when insert-
ing it into the scanner.
Carefully push the holder into the scan-
ner until the arrow mark is aligned with
the scanner door; the holder will be auto-
matically fed into the scanner from that
point. Never touch or hinder the holder
when it is in the scanner.

Using the APS Adapter AD-10 (sold separately)

APS (Advanced Photo System) cassette film can be scanned using the APS Adapter
AD-10. The cassette must contain processed film; the square number 4 mark at the
end of the cassette should be highlighted in white. Do not load unprocessed film.
To load an APS cassette, slide the film-
chamber release (1) toward the top of
the adapter unit until the chamber door
opens (2). The film-chamber release
will not return to its original position
until the door is closed.

Insert the cassette into the film cham-
ber as shown (3). Close the chamber
door (4); the film-chamber release will
return to its original position (5).
When the indicator lamp glows steadily,
open the front door until the top of the
door is aligned with the APS adapter
mark.
With the scanner contacts face up,
insert the adapter into the scanner until
it stops. The scanner detects the holder
and automatically loads the film. Do not
remove the holder until the film has
been rewound, see the ejecting a film
holder section below.
Do not remove the APS film from the cassette.
When using the APS adapter, if the scanner makes a strange sound or the film-
advance warning appears, press the eject button to remove the adapter. Follow the
instructions in the troubleshooting section (p.86).

Ejecting a film holder

Use the eject button on the scanner body or in
the DiMAGE Scan Dual III Utility window to
remove the holder; the scanner automatically
ejects the holder to its initial insertion position.
Do not touch or hinder the holder while it is
moving.
When using the optional APS Adapter, the
scanner automatically rewinds the film when
the eject button is pressed. Do not remove the
adapter until the rewind motor has stopped.
Close the front door when the scanner is not in
use.
