Tips for scanning transparent items
● To scan items larger than those that the transparent materials adapter (TMA)
accepts, place the transparency on the scanner glass, place a white sheet of
paper on top of the transparency, and then scan as usual.
● When scanning a 35 mm slide or negative, the scanner software automatically
enlarges the image to approximately 10 cm x 15 cm (4 x 6 inches). If you want
the final image to be larger or smaller, use the Resize tool in the scanner
