Positioning A Slide; Using The Slide Holder - Microtek ScanMaker IIG User Manual

Positioning the slide
The ScanMaker 35t Plus slide scanner allows you to load a slide in
two ways: By inserting it into the slide holder if you have a single
slide; or by using the film cartridge if you wish to load a filmstrip.

Using the slide holder

Follow this procedure if you're inserting a single slide.
Hold the slide to be inserted upright, with the front of the
1
slide facing the front of the scanner.
2 Insert the slide into the slide holder in the 35t Plus until you
feel it reach the bottom. The thickness of the slide should be
within 1/16" to 1/8" (about 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm). Make sure the
slide, together with its casing, stays flat and does not warp. If
the slide is shielded (in either glass or plastic), remove the
shield first before scanning, as shields may cause inaccuracies
in the scanned image.
Hold the slide upright,
with the front of the
slide facing the front
of the scanner.
To start scanning, launch the software program that came with
3
your ScanMaker 35t Plus scanner.
