Scanning Film

You can scan 35 mm film (film strips or slides) with this scanner.

Positioning the Film 

Use the following procedures to insert the film into the film guide. 

1

Remove the protective sheet from the document cover. 

Fit the holes at the bottom end of the protective sheet over the posts at the bottom of the document 

cover and slide the protective sheet down. Repeat the procedure for the top end.

2

Insert the film into the film guide. 

Film Strips

Open the film holder on the film guide for film strips, insert 

the strip(s) face down and close the film holder.

Slides

Place a slide or slides face down in the film guide for slides as 

shown in the diagram to the right.

• Store the protective sheet in a safe place so that it will not get bent or broken. 
• Always replace the protective sheet when you are not scanning film to prevent the 

light source section from getting scratched.

• 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.
