Placing Transparent Originals
When you scan transparent originals, there are two possibilities:

frame which you insert in the scanner.

" Note: Make sure the glass plate is inserted, otherwise the TPU is lock ed.
2 Place the flexible template on the glass plate.
3 Center the original on the template so that its top side is directed towards th e calibration slit.
" Note: Make sure that the calibration slit of the flexible template is at th e front side and that it is
clean.

Using the Batch Slide Holders

The batch slide holders are available in order to increase the product ivity of the scanner. The
concept of the batch slide holders is developed so that a variety of com binations are possible.
The base is the batch slide holder frame in which different kinds of batch slide holders can be
mounted. The batch slide holders keep the originals perfectly flat bet ween two plastic frames, thus
guaranteeing optimum sharpness.
