.

35mm Film Strip
c Open the film holder on the film guide, place the film face down and close the film holder.
d Align the Film Guide’s tab with the FILM symbol on the document glass of the scanner.
• Store the protective sheet in a safe place so that it will not get bent or broken.
• Always put the protective sheet back when you are not scanning film to protect the
light source in the document cover.
• Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, which will affect the image quality,
and take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it.
• Do not block the calibration slot on the Film Guide when scanning film. Colors will not
be scanned correctly if the calibration slot is obstructed.
• Close the Film Guide securely. Press lightly until it clicks into place.
• Place a black piece of paper over any gap to shield the light if you are inserting a film
strip with 5 or fewer frames, or if the edge of a scanned image appears whitened.
• Ensure that there is no gap between the edge of the film and the film guide on the
side near the calibration slot.
