Introduction
The Slide Feeder is an optional accessory for Flextight 949 Scanners. It enables you to use your scanner to load individual slides and to batch scan up to 50 slides at a time. It features a removable magazine, which enables operators to scan one magazine while a second magazine is being loaded.
While in use, the Slide Feeder loads slides one at a time from the magazine and into the scanner, where light is shown through the slide and the image is scanned to your computer. The mechanism itself
is similar to those typically used in slide projectors that have linear magazines. This process is repeated until all selected slides have been scanned.
This manual provides important information about using the Slide Feeder for your Flextight 949 Scanner.
