user guide for future reference.
•IMPORTANT:Do not expose this product to rain or moisture to preserve the life of the
scanner.
•Do not place the scanner in locations that may block the ventilation openings (for
example, on beds, sofas, rugs).
•Do not place the scanner near high heat sources (for example, radiators, stoves).
•Do not overload the USB connections to a computer. If there are too many devices
connected via USB (for example, mouse, keyboard, phones), there may not be
enough power for the scanner to function when connected.
•If damaged, do not attempt to repair the scanner yourself. Stop use and contact a
qualified professional to repair.
•The design of the film holder follows ISO standard. In some cases, the holes on the
film will not match exactly to the alignment of the holder. This is caused by a
non-standard camera. In this case there will be a small black line on the edge of the
frame that can easily be cropped out using photo editing software.
•Images used in this user guide are for reference only.
