Scanning Film
This scanner can scan 35 mm film strips one frame at a time.
Preparing to Scan Film
Use the following procedures to place the Film Adapter Unit and the Film Guide on the document glass to
scan film.
1 Attach the cable for the Film Adapter Unit to the FAU
connector on the scanner’s back panel.
2 Open the document cover and place the Film
Guide on the document glass of the scanner.
Calibration
Calibration is required the first time the scanner is used to scan film. This procedure adjusts the scanner
output so that items are reproduced with the correct coloration. It is explained below using the example of
ArcSoft PhotoStudio and ScanGear CS in Simple Mode.
1 Remove the CAP from the Film Adapter Unit
and gently set the Film Adapter Unit over
the first frame in the Film Guide (frame
closest to the front).
• Clean the document glass before placing the Film Guide on it, otherwise dirt and dust
can affect image quality or damage the film.
• You cannot scan film with the scanner in the upright position.
• If there is film in the Film Guide,
remove it before setting the Film
Adapter Unit on it.
• Be careful not to lose the CAP or
to allow dirt into it.
Align the two film guide tabs
over the slots at the docume
glass edge and secure it with
the clip at the back.
Position the Film Adapter Unit
so that its alignment tab is
aligned with the Film Guide.
