Note: Hold the edge of the film gently or use gloves to touch the film; otherwise you may damage the film. Make sure the white stickers on the back of the film holder and the areas around them are not scratched, dusty, or covered in any way. If the areas are obscured, the scanner may have trouble recognizing your film in Full Auto Mode. Do not cover the small holes in the film holder.

3. Close the cover and press it down until you hear a click.
2. Use a non-abrasive microfiber cloth to wipe the document table before placing your film or slides. To place film for scanning, see the next section. To place slides for scanning, see page 5.

Reading the Status Light

If an error occurs, the scanner stops operating and the status light flashes red. This indicates the scanner is not connected to your computer properly or your software is not fully installed. See the Start Here sheet that came with your scanner for instructions on installing the scanner software and connecting the scanner to your computer. After trying these solutions, unplug the scanner, then plug it back in. If the scanner light is still flashing: The scanner may be malfunctioning. The scanner lamp may need to be replaced.

Transporting the Scanner

Before transporting the scanner for a long distance or storing it for an extended period of time, the scanners carriage needs to be in the center position to prevent damage. 1. Make sure the carriage is in the center position of the scanner. If the scanner is plugged in and connected to your computer, the carriage will move to the center position after scanning. If the scanner is turned off and the carriage is not in the center position, plug in the scanner, connect it to your computer, and wait about 15 seconds for the carriage to move to the center position. 2. Unplug the AC adapter to turn the scanner off. 3. Attach the packing materials that came with the scanner, then repack the scanner in its original box or a similar box that fits the scanner snugly.
