Using Optional Equipment 23
Using the Film Guides
You can use the four film guides that came with the transparency unit to scan 35mm
slides, strips of 35mm negative or positive film, 120-size or 220-size format film, and
4 × 5-inch film.
If the reflective document mat is installed (see page 27), be sure to remove it before
scanning film or slides. Keep it in the transparency unit’s storage slot when not in use.
Note: Make sure the transparency unit is completely closed before you scan, or
an error will occur and you will be unable to scan.
Loading 35mm film
Follow these steps to load 35mm positive or negative film:
1. Place the 35mm filmstrip guide on a flat surface and remove the cover from one
of the strip holders.
2. Insert a filmstrip in the holder with the shiny side
face down and the film emulsion layer face up.
Line up the sprocket holes on the filmstrip with
the guide posts on the holder.
3. Replace the film cover and press down until it
clicks.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for all the film strips
you scan.
