SETTING THE SCSI ID
8
The Dimâge Scan Multi II’s SCSI ID is factor y preset to 5. If 5 is not being used by another operating SCSI device in
the SCSI chain, it is not necessary to change the SCSI ID.
A SCSI ID is a unique address you assign to each SCSI device connected to your computer.The SCSI ID range of
your computer is from 0 to 7, however some IDs are already occupied by your computer.
* IDE Macintosh systems do not use SCSI ID 0 for the hard drive.
** Macintosh systems with a dual bus have SCSI ID 3 available on the external bus.
Press the upper button to select a smaller SCSI number.
TO CHANGE THE SCSI ID:
1.Turn off the computer and all connected SCSI devices.
2.Determine which SCSI IDs are not being used.
3.Chang e the SCSI ID using the upper or lower SCSI buttons.
The current SCSI ID number.
Press the lower button to select a higher SCSI number.

FILM EMULSION
HANDLING CARE
The emulsion side of the film is the side coated with the photographic material.The base side of the film has no
photographic material and its surface is smooth and shiny.The emulsion side of slide film has raised areas at subject
contrast.The emulsion side of negative film is dull compared to the base side. It is easiest to determine the emulsion
side when viewing the film at an angle.
FILM BASE
Smooth, shiny surface
FILM EMULSION
Slightly dull or raised surface
Viewing angle
Light
The frame numbers and text are backward when the film’s emulsion side is up.
• Do not pull the film holder out of the scanner until the holder is properly ejected and
the green indicator light is off.
• Do not move the scanner or touch the film holder while the transport motor is
engaged (such as while scanning).
• Place the scanner on a stable surface.

SLIDE MOUNT HOLDER SH-M1
• The slide mount holder can hold up to 4 mounted slides (35mm or APS).
• Slide mounts must be thicker than 1mm and thinner than 2mm to fit properly into the holder.
• Results of scanning glass-mounted slides can be unpredictable.
• Blow dust off the slide before placing it into the film holder.
1.Position the slide mount
holder so the white arrow is
on the top-left side, then open
the slide mount.
• Open the slide holder by pushing up
on the two tabs from underneath.

indentations, making sure
they lie flat.
• Insert the slides emulsion side down.
3.Press the cover firmly closed
until it clicks.
Page 18

35MM FILM HOLDER FH-M1
Use the FH-M1 for 35mm negatives and unmounted 35mm slide film.
• The 35mm Film Holder FH-M1 can hold film strips up to 6 frames long.
• Blow dust off the film before placing it into the film holder.
1.Position the film holder so the
white arrow is on the top-left
side, then open the slide
mount.
• Open the slide holder by pushing up
on the two tabs from underneath.
2,Place the film in the film
holder emulsion side down.
3.Align the frames within the

LOADING THE MEDIUM FORMAT HOLDER MH-M1
18
USING THE MEDIUM FORMAT HOLDER MH-M1
MEDIUM FORMAT AND TEM FILM
Use the MH-M1 for 120/220 film frames in 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, and 6x9 formats.The MH-M1 should also be used for
sleeved APS film, 16mm film, and TEM* film. Use the appropr iate film mask for each film format. The glass in the
Medium Format Film Holder MH-M1 has been treated to prevent the appearance of Newton’s rings (coloured rings)
when scanning.
• Handle the Medium Format Film Holder MH-M1 with care. Protect the glass from impact, shock, and scratches.
• Touching the glass in the film holder may cause damage to the antinewton treatment.
• Blow away any dust from the film holder before inserting the film. If the film holder is dirty, first blow away any dust
or debris, then moisten a lens cleaning tissue with lens cleaning fluid and gently wipe the surface.
* Transmission Electron Microscope
1.Press on the lever marked
“PUSH”, then lift open the
holder.
2.Select the appropriate mask
and place it in the film holder
using the guides.
• The cut corner on the mask should be
on the bottom-left side.
• Choose the appropriate size mask for
TEM film.
Align the holes in the mask with the pins on the film
holder.
Align the slot in the
mask with the rail
on the film holder.
Page 21

against the rail on the film holder.
• Place the film emulsion side down
(p 14).
4.Press the cover firmly closed
until it clicks.
Secure the film by placing it flush
against the rail on the film holder.
Always use a properly
fitting mask with the
medium format film
holder.If no mask or a
mask that is too large is
used, refracting light will
degrade image quality.

16mm AND APS SLEEVE FILM
1.Press on the lever marked
“PUSH”, then lift open the
holder.
2.Place the APS Sleeve mask or
16mm mask on the film

mask that is too large
is used, refracting light
will degrade image
quality.
Page 24
22
RO TATING THE FRAME
The image area of the Medium Format Holder MH-M1 can rotate 10 degrees in either direction to
compensate for a tilted image composition. By rotating the frame before scanning, the need to rotate the
scanned image, thus resampling the pixels, is eliminated.
1.Turn the holding screw
counter clockwise to
loosen it.
2.Rotate the carrier as
desired.
• Use the angle scale on the holder
for reference.
• With larger film formats, the
corners of the frame may not fit in
the scanning area when the
carrier is rotated.
3.Turn the holding screw
clockwise to secure it.
