Cautions
Use only one type of film at a time. Do not place negative and positive film in the holder at the same time.
Be sure to align the end of the film with the film line on the holder. Leaving a gap between the film and the
line could interfere with accurate color reproduction.
Multiple single-frame str ips of film can be inserted in the holder at the same time, but be sure not to mix
positive and negative film.
The glass in the lower portion of the holder has been treated to prevent interference. Avoid leaving finger-
prints or other stains on the glass.
To avoid damaging the film, use a blower to remove dust and lint from the film and holder. Leaving dust, lint,
or other foreign objects on the film or holder dur ing scanning could result in reduced image quality or in
damage to the film.
A "Newton ring" interference pattern may appear when scanning film that has been folded or otherwise
deformed. This can be prevented by placing a masking sheet under the film.
