Landscape orientation

If the film is in a landscape orientation, determine the emulsion side of the film and insure that this side of the film faces the bottom of the scanner. Insert the slide into the scanner with the top of the image entering into the scanner at the right side of the scanner. This is shown in Figure 4.8.

[b)Film entered into the scanner narrow side first where the image on the film is in a landscape orientation

[e)Resultant image on monitor is oriented correctly

If the top of the image is entered facing the left side of the scanner, the resultant scan will be upside-down. This can be corrected by the software after the scan with a vertical flip . This operation is fast and causes absolutely no image degradation .

Positioning slides

There are times wheri a user wants to fine position the slide so minor rotations can occur. This is accomplished by ejecting the slide and gently pushing on one side of the scanner while holding the other side stationary. The effect is a minor angle shift.

This minor rotation can also be accomplished by the software using a rotate tool. However, depending on the software, image degradation can occur using the software correction approach .

Ejecting slides

The scanner ejects the slide through a software command as discussed in the driver manual. There is no manual eject for the scanner.
