Gett in g Star ted Using a Protective Sleeve (Optional) We recommend using a 5”x7” protective sleeve for your older, fragile photos and when scanning originals smaller than 2”x2”. The protective sleeves also help to eliminate the possibility of de-focusing due to the uneven surface of curled photos. For information on obtaining protective sleeves, contact Customer Support at www.sunglow.net. -
