Ejecting Film from the SA-21

Always use the scan window eject button when ejecting film from the SA-21. Wait until ejection is complete before removing film by hand. Pulling on the film during ejection could damage the film or cause errors. For information on what to do if film jams in the SA-21, see “Film Feed Errors (SA-21)” ( 60).

If the scan window was closed before the film was ejected, turn the scanner off and then on again. The film will be ejected automatically.

MA-21

Confirm that the status LED is not blink- ing and press the eject button on the front of the adapter to eject the slide.

2 Exit the host application

Select Exit (Windows) or Quit (Mac OS 9) from the File menu. In Mac OS X, open the application menu and choose the “Quit” option for the host application.

The SA-21 Lock Mechanism

If the scanner is turned off with film still in place, the adapter lock mechanism ( 29) will prevent the SA-21 from being removed. Before attempting to remove the SA-21, turn the scanner on and wait for the film to be ejected automatically. Attempting to remove the adapter without first ejecting the film could interfere with the connection between the adapter and the scanner. If an attempt has been made to remove the SA-21 without ejecting the film, push the adapter back into the scanner to re-establish the connection. Attempting to remove the adapter by force could damage the adapter or scanner.

Remove Film Holders

When using the optional FH-3 film holder ( 50), remove the holder before turning the scanner off.
