Scanning Film

Scanning Film
You can scan 35 mm film (film strip or slides) with this scanner.
Positioning the Film
Use the following procedures to insert the film into the Film Guide.
• Make sure that the FAU Cable is connected to the FAU connector on the back of the
scanner.
1
Remove the protective sheet from the document cover.
Slide the protective sheet up to remove it.
When you finish scanning, replace the protective sheet by aligning it with the grooves in the document
cover and sliding it downward into place.
• Store the protective sheet in a safe place so that it will not get bent or broken.
• Always replace the protective sheet when you are not scanning film to prevent the
light source section from getting scratched.
2
Insert the film into the Film Guide.
• Hold the film by the edges with your fingertips to avoid getting fingerprints or dirt
on the film surface.
• Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, document glass or light source
unit.
• Do not block the calibration slot on the Film Guide when you are scanning film.
Colors will not be scanned correctly if the calibration slot is obstructed.
Film Strip
Open the Film Holder. Place the film face down with the
frames in reverse order. To close the Film Holder, squeeze it
gently inward while pressing downward so that all the tabs
on its outer edges fit into the slots in the Film Guide. If the
Film Holder will not close properly, reposition the film so
that it is clear of the Film Guide slots and try again.
