Scanning a Slide
1
Make sure you removed the reflective document mat, as described in the
previous column.
2
Place the slide holder on the top of the
scanner glass so that the tab labelled "D"
fits into the area labelled "D" on the
document table.
3
Place a 35 mm slide into the holder with its
shiny base side facing down. Your image
should appear backwards on the side that
faces up.
For a landscape-oriented slide, place the
top of the image toward the left. For a
portrait-oriented slide, place the top of the
image toward the top of the scanner.
4
Close the scanner cover.
5
To scan your slide, press the 4 Scan and Save button or open Epson Smart
Panel and select Scan and Save. This scans your slide using ideal settings
in Full Auto Mode and opens it in ArcSoft PhotoImpression for viewing,
editing, and printing. See your on-screen Reference Guide and Smart Panel
help for instructions on selecting scan modes and complete scanning
details.
6
When you're finished scanning, you can store the slide holder in the scanner
cover. Slide the slide holder into the cover, then replace the document mat.
