Placing Film or Slides
Removing the Document Mat
To scan film strips or slides, you need to remove the document
mat from the scanner cover. This uncovers the transparency
unit window so your scanner can use it to scan your film or
slides.
Placing Film in the Holder
1. Open the cover of the 35 mm film strip holder.
2. Slide your film strip all the way into the film holder with the
shiny base side facing down. Your images and any wording
on the film strip should appear backwards on the side that
faces up.
1. Open the scanner cover and gently slide up the document
mat to remove it.
2. Use a non-abrasive microfiber cloth to wipe the document
table before placing your film or slides.
To place film for scanning, see the next section.
To place slides for scanning, see page 5.
Note:
Hold the edge of the film gently or use gloves to touch the film;
otherwise you may damage the film.
Make sure the white stickers on the back of the film holder and
the areas around them are not scratched, dusty, or covered in
any way. If the areas are obscured, the scanner may have trouble
recognizing your film in Full Auto Mode.
Do not cover the small holes in the film holder.
3. Close the cover and press it down until you hear a click.

the areas are obscured, the scanner may have trouble recognizing
your slides in Full Auto Mode.

the scanner to your computer.

Transporting the Scanner
Before transporting the scanner for a long distance or storing it
for an extended period of time, the scanner’s carriage needs to
be in the center position to prevent damage.

scanner.
❏ If the scanner is plugged in and connected to your
computer, the carriage will move to the center position
after scanning.
❏ If the scanner is turned off and the carriage is not in the
center position, plug in the scanner, connect it to your
computer, and wait about 15 seconds for the carriage to
move to the center position.
2. Unplug the AC adapter to turn the scanner off.
3. Attach the packing materials that came with the scanner,
then repack the scanner in its original box or a similar box
that fits the scanner snugly.
