50 Using Optional Equipment
2. Make sure the transparency guide is in
place at the back edge of the document
glass (see page 49). Then place the film
holder on the document glass, aligning
the arrow marks as shown.
When scanning large numbers of images,
you can place a second film holder on the
scanner next to the first one. The holders
can be for different sizes of film (unless
you plan to scan 35 mm slides using the Thumbnail preview screen; see page 52).
3. Close the transparency unit and scan as described on page 51.
Note: If the transparency unit is not closed, you will get an error message and be
unable to scan.
Placing Nonstandard Film Sizes on the Scanner
You can scan film in nonstandard sizes up to 12.2 × 16.5 inches (309 × 420 mm).
Follow these guidelines:
1. Make sure the transparency guide is in place at the back edge of the document
glass (see page 49).
2. Set your film directly on the document
glass, with the shiny side face-down
and the film emulsion layer face-up.
Align the film with the edge of the
transparency guide, as shown.
3. Close the transparency unit and scan
as described in the next section.
Note: When setting film directly on the
glass or using film holders other than
those that came with the scanner, be sure to adjust the focus (see page 52).
