Tips for scanning transparent items
●
To scan items larger than those that the transparent materials adapter (TMA) or
template accepts, place the transparency on the scanner glass, place a white sheet
of paper on top of the transparency, and then scan as described in
.
●
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). Medium and
large format negatives are also scaled to a larger final size. If you want the final
image to be larger or smaller, use the
Resize
tool in the scanner software to set the
scaling to the final size that you select. The scanner will scan the item to the size
that you select and adjust the scan resolution as appropriate.
●
You can configure the scan settings for either fast scanning or higher-quality output.
If you choose to take advantage of this product's high-quality output using the
optimum color accuracy options, the scanning process will be considerably slower.

When cropping images, completely remove the borders to reduce excess light
interference.
