Loading Slides and Film Directly on the Document Table

Hold the film by the edges or use gloves. Touching the film surface with bare hands can leave fingerprints or other marks on the film.

You can scan slides and film strips in the 4 × 5-inch (101.6 × 127 mm) scanning area of the transparency unit. You can use film holders (as described in the previous sections) or place them directly on the document table. Follow the steps on the next page.

If the film size is 4 × 5 inches, it may be easier to use the film holder. If you place the film directly on the document table, it may be difficult to pick up.

1. Open the top of the transparency unit while holding the base down.
