2.Remove any slides that you have already scanned. Then, starting at the front/top of the magazine, load new slides in the order in which you would like to scan them. When standing in front of the scanner, position each slide with the top pointing up and with any text showing forward (not in mirror image).

3.Work your way towards the back of the magazine until you have mounted all of the slides you want to scan or until there are no slots left. Usually, you should not skip any slots; however, if you would like to scan the magazine in two or more different batches, then leave two empty slots between each batch. Single empty slots will be ignored.

4.Close the magazine drawer by rotating it up and pressing it into place so that the metal clasp holds it at the top.

Using a Second Magazine

1.Load your extra magazine with slides. Start at the front of the magazine (the side the slots lean towards) and load new slides in the order in which you would like to scan them. Position each slide with the top pointing up and with any text showing forward (not in mirror image) as you look from the front of the magazine. Usually, you should not skip any slots when loading slides into the magazine; however, if you would like to scan the magazine in two or more different batches, then leave two empty slots between each batch. Single empty slots will be ignored.

2.Go to your scanner and open the magazine drawer by grasping it at the top and pulling it down. It rotates forward on its hinge (B) and then stops, exposing the magazine (C) with magazine drawer top (D) facing out (see Figure 9, above).

3. The magazine drawer can be removed from its hinge. Do this now by grabbing the bottom of the Slide Feeder near the hinge with one hand and grasping the magazine drawer with the other hand. Hold the drawer from below and about halfway up (see Figure 10, next page). Use the hand that is holding the Feeder to keep the Feeder steady while using your other hand to pull the drawer straight away from the Feeder; rocking gently from left to right can help loosen it. The drawer will come free from its hinge.
