strips when placing two or more on the
document glass.
• Ensure that there is no gap between the
edge of the film and the film guide on the
side near the calibration slot.
Using a Film Retainer Sheet
Curled film strips can stick to the document glass
and cause a pattern of rings called Newton Rings to
appear on the scanned image. If this occurs, scan
using the supplied film retainer sheet as shown in
the diagram.
(A) Scan with the film retainer sheet inserted
beneath the film.
(B) If Newton Rings still appear after following
Instruction (A), turn the film strip over and place
it in the film holder with the film retainer sheet on
top so that the film edges are held down for
scanning. Then preview the image in ScanGear
and click the [Mirror] button to reverse the image
before initiating the final scan.
To avoid damaging the film, always place the
glossy side (the side without an illustration)
of the film retainer sheet against the film.
