Scanning Film

This scanner can scan 35 mm film (film strip or slide) and 120 format film. Follow the procedure below when

scanning film. Make sure that the FAU Cable is connected to the FAU connector on the back of the scanner.

1Remove the protective sheet from the

document cover.

Press and hold the lever at the top of the protective

sheet while you apull the sheet outward and b

detach it.

2Insert the film into the Film Guide.

35mm Film Strip

cOpen the film holder on the film guide, place the film face down and close the film holder.

dAlign the Film Guide’s tab with the FILM symbol on the document glass of the scanner.

• Store the protective sheet in a safe place so that it will not get bent or broken.

• Always put the protective sheet back when you are not scanning film to protect the

light source in the document cover.

• Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, which will affect the image quality,

and take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it.

• Do not block the calibration slot on the Film Guide when scanning film. Colors will not

be scanned correctly if the calibration slot is obstructed.

• Close the Film Guide securely. Press lightly until it clicks into place.

• Place a black piece of paper over any gap to shield the light if you are inserting a film

strip with 5 or fewer frames, or if the edge of a scanned image appears whitened.

• Ensure that there is no gap between the edge of the film and the film guide on the

side near the calibration slot.

film strips when placing two or more on the

document glass.

• Ensure that there is no gap between the

edge of the film and the film guide on the

side near the calibration slot.

Using a Film Retainer Sheet

Curled film strips can stick to the document glass and cause

a pattern of rings called Newton Rings to appear on the

scanned image. If this occurs, scan using the supplied film

retainer sheet as shown in the diagram.

(A) Scan with the film retainer sheet inserted beneath the

film.

(B) If Newton Rings still appear after following Instruction

(A), turn the film strip over and place it in the film holder

with the film retainer sheet on top so that the film edges

are held down for scanning. Then preview the image in

ScanGear and click the [Mirror] button to reverse the

image before initiating the final scan.

To avoid damaging the film, always place

the glossy side (the side without an illustra-

tion) of the film retainer sheet against the

film.
