Steps To Scan Slides And Negatives - Epson 1000XL User Manual

4. Steps to scan slides and negatives

Step
1 Set up the scanner for use (see Steps to set up
the scanner for use above)

Remove the document mat from the
transparency unit if it is in place.

Instructions for inserting and removing
the document mat are illustrated on the
transparency unit.

Check that the transparency guide is
installed
2 Load you slides or negatives face down into the appropriate film holder.
TIPS

The default orientation for Up is to the left

If your slides have a dot in the corner used as an aid for placing slides into a
carousel, turn the slide so that the dot is facing down and is in the top right
corner.

If you are using two film holders at once, the last column won't be scanned
and should be left empty.
3 Place the film holder(s) onto the scanner ensuring
that the holders do not cover the glass to the left of
the notch on the transparency guide. This area is
left clear to calibrate the scanner prior to scanning.
4 Check the Thumbnail box below the preview button and then performa a preview
scan. This should give you a set of spearate thumbnail images corresponding to each
slide/negative.
If there are problems with cropping (usually with very dark/bright images) you may
have to uncheck the Thumbnail box and repeat the preview. In this case you will have
to marquee select each individual image (or just the image that has a problem)
