Placing Film on the Scanner

The Perfection 1670 Photo scanner cover has a built-in transparency unit (TPU). To scan negative film or slides, you’ll need to remove the reflective document mat from the cover and place the film in a holder on the scanner glass.

1 Make sure the transparency unit cable is connected to the back of the scanner (see step 4 in “Connect the Scanner”).

2 Lift the scanner cover all the way up and slide the reflective document mat up and off of the scanner cover.

3 Slide the negative strip into the film holder, with the film’s shiny base side facing down.

4 Place the film holder in the correct position for your film type. If you are scanning slides, place the holder on the scanner first, then place the slides in the holder.

Be sure to match the letter on the film holder tab with the corresponding letter on the scanner.
