Scanning Film (for CanoScan 5000F) You can scan 35 mm film (a film strip 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. Slide the protective sheet up to remove it. When you finish scanning, replace the protective sheet by aligning it with the grooves in the document cover and sliding it downward into place. • 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. 2 Insert the film into the film guide. Film Strip Open the film holder on the film guide for a film strip, insert the strip face down and close the film holder. • 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. Slides Place a slide or slides face down in the film guide for slides as shown in the diagram to the right. 11
