Document Source settings for optional equipment appear in the list only when that option is installed.
If you’re scanning positive, reflective originals (such as a photograph) with the optional transparency unit installed, be sure to turn off the transparency unit. Then select Flatbed as the Document Source option.
Selecting Basic Settings
For most scans, you need to check four basic settings: Document Source, Image Type, Destination, and Resolution (Advanced window only).
1You only need to change the Document Source setting if you’ve installed an optional transparency unit (TPU) or auto document feeder (ADF) on your scanner.
If you’re scanning a document from the scanner’s document table, select Flatbed (default) as the Document Source setting. If you’ve installed the optional auto document feeder or transparency unit on your scanner, select one of the following options in the Document Source list:
Setting | Type of document source |
|
|
ADF (Windows) | For scanning |
Auto Document Feeder | legal size (8.5 × 14 inches) using the auto |
(Macintosh) | document feeder |
|
|
TPU for neg. Film | For scanning negative film with the |
| transparency unit, such as negative film strips |
|
|
TPU for pos. Film | For scanning positive film with the |
| transparency unit, such as slides |
|
|
