Canon 800 manual Printing or Scanning the Image, Selecting the Polarity

Using the Scanner

Printing or Scanning the Image

In Reader Printer mode, the image projected on the scanner screen can be printed directly to a FilePrint 400 printer connected to the scanner. In Scanner mode, the image can be downloaded as image data to a computer connected to the scanner and then printed on a printer connected to the computer.

The actual scan settings and the procedure for the scanning mode differ depending on your application program. For this reason, the descriptions given here cover only the scanning modes that can be set from the scanner’s opera- tion panel.

Refer to the user manuals for your application software for information on the scan settings and the procedure for downloading the image.

Selecting the Polarity

This setting selects the film polarity (positive or negative). Press the Negative/Positive key on the operation panel or the optional operation keyboard to select the film polarity.

(	) Negative	Positive output from negative film
(	) Positive	Positive output from positive film
( A ) Auto		The scanner automatically detects the film
		type and generates positive output. When
		the Auto setting is selected, the Negative or

Positive indicator blinks during scanning to indicate the film type.

Notes

•If the black-white ratio in the screen is almost even, if the image border is small, or if you have used trimming to select an area at the edge of the image, the scanner may be unable to automatically detect the film type. In this event, select the film polarity manually.

•If you select Positive, border removal (➜ P.27) and automatic skew correction (➜ P.30) are disabled.
