Scanning 35Mm Slides And Negatives - Xerox 2400 Series Installation And User Manual

Scanning 35mm slides and negatives

4800/2400 Series Installation and User Guide
• AutoScan Resolution – You can scan an item by clicking the
AutoScan button on the Scan Manager Pro. The scanner
uses these resolution settings for the respective
configurations: Color, Grey Scale and Black and White.
• Folder for Temporary Images – When you scan an item, its
scanned image is initially stored in a folder before being sent
to the PaperPort Desktop or some other application. Instead
of using the default folder specified by the Scan Manager
Pro, you can select another folder on your computer. Usually
the only reason to select this option is if the default folder is
on a hard disk with limited storage space. Click the folder
icon and the Browse for Folder dialog box appears. Select
the folder you want to use and click [OK]. That folder name
is then listed on the Preferences dialog box.
3. Click [OK] to save your preferences.
Getting help with the Scan Manager Pro

If your One Touch scanner has a Transparency Adaptor, it is
specially designed to scan 35mm slides and negatives. You can
scan both positive film and negative images.
A brief explanation
Your scanner has sensors that capture the image of the item being
scanned. Those sensors are located in the body of the scanner.
When you scan a paper item, the light in the bottom of the scanner
shines up on the paper and reflects the paper's image down onto
the scanning sensors. If a 35mm slide or negative is on the glass,
however, the light from the bottom of the scanner would shine up
through the transparent 35mm slide or negative and would not
reflect its image onto the sensors. That is why your scanner has a
light in its document cover. When you scan a 35mm slide or
negative, the light in the bottom of the scanner turns off, and the light
in the cover shines down through the film onto the sensors to
capture the film's image.
To position a 35mm slide or negative for scanning:
1. Find the appropriate mask for the item you're scanning. The
masks are in a protective plastic bag with your scanner.
