Scanning Film

Scanning Film
This scanner can scan 35 mm film (film strip or slide). Follow the procedure below when scanning film.
1
Remove the protective sheet from the
document cover.
Press and hold the levers at the top of the protec-
tive sheet while you pull the sheet outward and
detach it .
• Store the protective sheet in a safe place so
that it will not get bent or broken.
• Always put the protective sheet back when
you are not scanning film to protect the light
source in the document cover.
2
Insert the film into the Film Guide.
• Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, which will affect the image quality, and
take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it.
• Do not block the Calibration Slot on the Film Guide when scanning film. Colors will not be
scanned correctly if the Calibration Slot is obstructed.
• Close the Film Guide securely. Press lightly until it clicks into place.
35 mm Film Strip
Open the Film Holder on the Film Guide, place
the film face down.
Close the Film Holder.
Align the Film Guide's tab with the FILM
symbol on the document glass of the scanner.
Ensure that there is no gap between the edge of the film and the Film Guide on the side near
the Calibration Slot.
