Scanning Your Film

You can scan your film in either Home Mode or Professional Mode. For greater

control over your scanned images, choose Professional Mode.

Note: Be sure to select the correct Document Type (in Home Mode) or Film Type (in

Professional Mode): Positive Film, Color Negative Film, or B&W Negative Film.

Also, be sure to adjust the focus if you’re placing your film directly on the glass (instead

of in a holder) or are using film holders other than those that came with the scanner. See

page 50.

If you’re using Professional Mode, follow these steps:

1. Open your imaging application, then choose the Import (or Acquire) option in

the application and select Epson Expression 10000XL.
