Placing Large or Thick Documents
When you need to scan a large or thick document, you can
either raise the lid to its highest posistion, or open the scanner
cover all the way as described below, so that it lies flat next to
the scanner.
1. Open the scanner cover.
2. Pull the scanner cover straight up.
3. Lay the cover down flat next to the scanner.
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 in the film holder, see the next
section.
To place film for scanning in the auto film loader, see page 5.
To place slides for scanning, see page 7.
Note:
When scanning without the scanner cover, gently press down on
your document to flatten it.
4. When you are finished scanning, replace the scanner cover.
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. 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.
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.

2. Make sure the film strip is placed as shown.
3. Scanning the first 3 frames of the film strip:
Place the film holder on the document table so that it is
aligned as shown. Make sure the tab labelled “B” on the film
holder fits into the area labelled “B” on the scanner.
Placing Film in the Auto Film Loader
The Perfection V350 Photo comes with an auto film loader on
the scanner cover that lets you load a film strip for scanning
automatically. Before loading a filmstrip in the auto film loader,
however, make sure it meets these requirements to avoid
damaging your film or the film loader:
❏ The film is dry.
❏ The film is not infrared film.
❏ The film is 35 mm wide and 2.9 to 9.1 inches (74 to
232 mm) long.
❏ The film strip contains at least 2 photos, but no more
than 6.
❏ The film has no damaged edges or holes along the sides.
❏ The film has no folds, ripples, bends, or curls.
Scanning the last 3 frames of the film strip:
Remove the film strip from the film holder, then re-insert it
with the last frame first. Place the film holder on the
document table so that it is aligned as shown below.
4. Close the scanner cover.
When you are finished scanning film, be sure to replace the
document mat before scanning documents or photos. See
page 8.
❏ The film has no stickers on it. If there is a sticker on the film
strip away from the image, you can carefully cut off the part
with the sticker.
Note: If you want to scan film that does not meet these
requirements, use the film holder, instead. See “Placing Film in the
Holder” on page 4.

Make sure nothing is on the document table before you close it.
Note:
Always open the film guide whenever you use the auto film
loader, no matter how short the film strip is; otherwise, it may
cause a film jam.

film, slightly bend the film so that it
straightens out.
Caution:
Hold the edge of the film gently or use gloves to touch the film;
otherwise you may damage the film.
When loading starts, let go of the film; otherwise, it may cause a
film jam. If the film does not feed into the auto film loader, wait 10
seconds and try again.
Do not touch the film, close the auto film loader cover, press the
5 Eject button, or open the scanner cover during scanning.

You can scan two 35 mm slides at a time using the slide portion
of the film holder.

areas around them are not scratched, dusty, or covered in any way. If
the areas are obscured, the scanner may have trouble recognizing
your slides in Full Auto Mode.
Do not cover the small holes on the film holder.
Note:
Make sure you place the long edge of the slide in the film holder
as shown above, for both landscape and portrait-oriented photos.

the scanner to your computer.

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.

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. Disconnect the USB cable.
4. Attach the packing materials that came with the scanner,
then repack the scanner in its original box or a similar box
