Operating the Scanner
(See Figure 4 opposite).
1.It is assumed that the scanner and FlexColor software have been properly installed.
2.Pull the feed table (B) down to scan position.
3.Press the power button (G) on the front of the scanner to switch it on. The indicator light (F) button will start flashing green, indicating that no firmware has been downloaded yet. It will be downloaded automatically later when you first run the FlexColor program.
4.Turn on your computer and launch the FlexColor program. The indicator light (F) will stop flashing indicating that firmware has been downloaded to the scanner.
5.Select the original holder (D) that matches your original.
6.Place the original holder with the slotted tab facing into the scanner. The flexible magnetic layer (C) must face upwards and the holder must fit between the guides (A) on both sides of the feed table.
7.Slide the holder gently into the original holder clasp (H) at the scanner entrance. It will slip about ½ cm (1/4 inch) into it. Do not press too hard. It slips in very easily and is held in place by a pair of magnets. To remove the holder, simply pull it gently backwards.
8.Lift the magnetic layer (C) of the original holder and place your original (E) with the emulsion side up. The original must completely fill the hole with no edges showing and with a minimum overlap of 2mm along each edge. Also, no edges of the original must extend past the outer edges of the holder. Use the grid in the light area (J) of the feed table (B) to help line up the image.
9.Lay the top layer of the holder down flat over the original. The top layer (C) is magnetic, which will hold the original in place.
10.Go to your computer and follow the directions given in the FlexColor software manual to take a preview, make settings, and take the final scan.
