6 Scanning Film
Scanning Film
Your scanner includes four film holders and a film area guide. Each film holder
allows you to scan multiple images at once, and the film area guide allows you to
scan up to 8 × 10 inch film. You can scan up to twenty-four 35mm filmstrip
images, eight 35mm slides, three 120/220 (6 × 12 cm) film images, two 4 × 5 film
images, or film and contact sheets up to 8 × 10 inches.
Note:
For instructions on scanning 8 × 10 inch transparencies, see the on-screen
Reference Guide.
Using the Film Holders
To scan film, you’ll need to remove the reflective document mat and place the film
in a holder.
1. Make sure the transparency unit cable is connected to the option interface
connector on the back of the scanner. (If it is not connected, turn off the
scanner, connect the transparency unit cable, then turn the scanner back on.)
2. Lift the scanner lid all the way up and pull
the reflective document mat up and off of
the scanner lid, as shown.
