Scanning Transparencies
This section gives basic information on using the transparency unit (TPU) for your
scanner. The transparency unit, also referred to as a film adapter, lets you scan slides
and negative or positive film strips with your scanner.
If you don’t have the PHOTO version of your scanner, you can purchase a
transparency unit from the EPSON Store
SM
at (800) 873-7766 or visit our web site at
www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call (800) 873-7766 for
dealer referral.
Use the following part numbers when ordering your TPU:
■
EPSON Perfection 1250 TPU: B12B813321
■
EPSON Perfection 1650 TPU: B813172
The EPSON Perfection 1650 PHOTO TPU is built into the scanner lid. The
optional TPU for the EPSON Perfection 1650 is a separate piece; it is not
built into the lid. For instructions on using this TPU, see your electronic
Reference Guide.
Using Film Holders
Be sure to use the film holders that came with your scanner. They ensure correct
placement of your transparencies and make it easier to scan them.
Film has two sides, a shiny base side and a dull emulsion side. The base side of the
film has the film maker’s name and film ID numbers printed on it. Always place the
shiny base side down.
Hold the film by the edges or use gloves. Touching the film surface with
bare hands can leave fingerprints or other marks on the film.
