Connecting and Operating the Scanner

Focusing

With the negative or mounted slide installed in the scanner, use the software installed on your host computer to focus the scanner.

IMPORTANT: The need for focusing is partially dependent on the “depth of field.” When the magnification is lower—for example, 0.5—the depth of field is greater and the focus tolerance is high. As the magnification increases, the depth of field and the focus tolerance decrease. Therefore, it may be necessary to focus more frequently for higher magnifications.

Scanning a Single Frame

Using the software installed on your host computer, scan the negative or mounted slide.

Shutting Down the Scanner

Follow this procedure when you do not plan to use the scanner for extended periods of time, such as over the weekend.

1.Close the host software program.

2.Turn off power to the scanner.
