Loading mounted slides

Up to four mounted 35mm or APS slides can be inserted into the slide mount holder. The slide mounts must be between 1 mm and 2 mm thick to fit the holder. Glass mounts cannot be used; the glass refracts the

light resulting in distorted and unevenly illuminated scans. Do not leave slide mounts in the holder.

Hold the slide mount holder so that the slots are to the top and the frame numbers are upside-

down and face up. Insert the slides into the holder emulsion side down. The slide must be parallel with the length of the holder otherwise the top and bottom of the image area will be cropped.

Loading a film holder into the scanner

Before using the scanner, install the DiMAGE Scan Utility. Confirm the front door of the scanner is closed and then turn on the scanner. Launch the DiMAGE Scan Utility before inserting the film holder. Do not insert the film holder into the scanner while the utility software is launching or the scanner is initializing; the indicator lamp blinks during this period.

When the indicator lamp glows steadily, open the front door until the top is aligned with the 35mm film-holder mark (1).

Insert the film holder into the scanner in the direction indicated by the arrow. Hold the holder straight and level with the orientation indicator up

(2).

Carefully push the holder into the scanner until the arrow mark (2) is aligned with the scanner door; the holder will be automatically fed into the scanner from that point. Never touch or hinder the holder when it is in the scanner.
