Loading Transparencies; Using Film Holders; Placing The Film - Epson Perfection 1640SU Office Scanner Basics

Loading Transparencies

Before scanning transparencies, wipe the
lid of the transparency unit, the scanner's
document table glass, and the narrow
calibration window near the hinges; dust
in the calibration window can cause a line
in the scanned image. Be sure to keep the
window uncovered when loading your
transparencies. If your transparency
obstructs the window, the colors in your
scans will be affected.
You can load transparencies in the film
holders or you can place them directly on
the document table, as described in the
following sections.

Using Film Holders

Three film holders are included with the transparency unit. To place film in the
holders, see the instructions for the type of film you're scanning. To remove a film
holder from the document table, lift it out by its tab.
Hold the film by the edges or use gloves. Touching the film surface with
bare hands can leave fingerprints or other marks on the film.

Placing the Film

Film has two sides: a base side that is shiny and a dull side with the emulsion. The
base side of the film has the film maker's name and film ID numbers printed on it.
Film should always be loaded in the film holders or placed on the document table
with the base side down.
