Scanning Transparencies and Film

Before scanning transparent documents, you need to remove the scanner’s reflective document mat; this exposes the scanner’s transparency unit (light source), which is built into the lid.

If you’re scanning slides or film strips, you’ll also need to use one of the film holders.

Using the Transparency Unit

To use the transparency unit, remove the reflective document mat by grasping the top of the mat and sliding it up gently, as shown.

Make sure the cable for the tranparency unit is plugged into the round connector. If not, turn off the scanner, then connect the cable as shown.

Using Film Holders

Film has two sides, a shiny base side and a dull emulsion side. The base side of the film has the film maker’s name and film ID numbers printed on it. Always place the shiny base side down.

To scan 35-mm film strips, 4 ⋅ 5-inch film, or 120/220 (6 ⋅ 9- cm) film, place the film in the correct holder, as shown:

Place the holder with the film onto the scanner. Make sure the white triangle on the holder points to the upper-right corner of the scanner.
