Scanning Transparencies and Film

Before scanning transparent documents, you need to remove the scanner’s reflective document mat; this exposes the scanner’s transparency unit (light source), which is built into the lid.
If you’re scanning slides or film strips, you’ll also need to use one of the film holders.
