Scanning with Scan Frames
Scan frames are for use with transparencies and negatives. Scan Frames are thin,
hinged, rectangular-shaped plastic frames which can hold a source document of a
slightly smaller size. The scan frames come in a number of sizes, including 35mm,
120 mm and 4 x 5 inch. 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 "Scan" 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.
Select a Scan Frame size which will hold the original source document without
covering up the orientation holes.
2.
Select the "Frame Holder Detection" option from your scanner driver. For
detailed information on using frame holders, refer to your scanner driver
manual
3.
Open the Scan Frame and place the source document inside, taking care not to
cover the orientation holes.
4.
Lift up the Scanner's cover and place the Scan Frame on the scanner's object
glass.
5.
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.
