Positioning Non-Standard-Size Film

When scanning non-standard-size transparent film, such as 8" x 10" film, medical or
dental X-ray film, you can choose either to use or not to use the U-shaped Ruler
(Calibration Ruler) together with the film. The supported film size is up to 12" x 16.9".
1. Optional: Follow the procedures in "Using the U-shaped Ruler (Calibration Ruler)"
to put the U-shaped Ruler on the scanner glass surface first.
2. Place the film (X-ray or other nonstandard size) to be scanned on the scanner
glass surface.
U-shaped Ruler
(Calibration Ruler)
Please note that the U-shaped Ruler
should be removed from the glass surface
of the scanner if the width of the film is
larger than the width of the U-shaped
Ruler.
If the U-shaped Ruler is not going to be
used, use the red arrows printed on the
vertical rulers of both sides of the scanner
as an alignment guide to place the film.
Then, place the film on the scanner glass
surface. During placement of the film,
make sure that the calibration strip on the
scanner glass surface is kept clear and
free of obstruction at all times.
To scan with the U-shaped Ruler,
place the film face down on the
scanner glass surface and center the
film along the U-shaped Ruler on the
scanner.
To scan without the U-shaped
Calibration strip
Ruler, use the red arrows printed on
the vertical rulers of both sides of the
scanner as an alignment guide to
place the film. Then, place the film on
the scanner glass surface. During
placement of the film, make sure that
the calibration strip on the scanner
glass surface is kept clear and free of
obstruction at all times.
