Inserting Slides

Insert slides between the guides. Forcing the slides onto the guides could damage the slides or clips and prevent the scanner from focusing correctly. To minimize resistance, try inserting slides at a slight angle.

Be sure a slide is inserted in the first slot. Leaving the aperture at the left end of the hold- er uncovered could cause scanning errors or interfere with accurate color reproduction.

Proceed to “Step 3—Open the Scan Window” ( 30).
