Scanning Your Film

You can scan your film in either Home Mode or Professional Mode. For greater control over your scanned images, choose Professional Mode.

Note: Be sure to select the correct Document Type (in Home Mode) or Film Type (in

Professional Mode): Positive Film, Color Negative Film, or B&W Negative Film.

Also, be sure to adjust the focus if you’re placing your film directly on the glass (instead of in a holder) or are using film holders other than those that came with the scanner. See page 52.

If you’re using Professional Mode, follow these steps:

1.Open your imaging application, then choose the Import (or Acquire) option in the application and select Epson Expression 10000XL.

Note: If you are using Windows Vista or XP and choose WIA-EPSON Expression 10000XL, certain features won’t be available.

The EPSON Scan dialog box opens.

2.Select Professional Mode from the selection box at the top of the screen.

Note: You may have to scroll down to see all of the settings.

3.Under the Original settings, select Film as your Document Type, and then select the correct Film Type (Positive Film, Color

Negative Film, or B&W Negative Film).
