Scanning Film with CanoScan D1230U/D2400U Scanners User's Guide for Film Adapter Unit FAU-S12/FAU-S13 The film adapter unit makes it possible to scan positive and negative 35 mm, 120 and 4"x5" format films on CanoScan D1230U/D2400U. The CanoScan D2400U scanner features "Remove Dust and Scratches" function for film scanning. For scanner instructions, please see the CanoScan D1230U/D2400U Quick Start Guide. "Remove Dust and Scratches" Function (CanoScan D2400U equipped with FAU-S13) The "Remove Dust and Scratches" function works by scanning films with a white light from a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp first, then scanning with infrared light. Since the clean portions of the film are translucent to infrared rays, the dirt and scratches are easily detected and the driver software can retouch the affected portions of the film. Please note that scanning with this function takes longer because it requires an extra pass. We do not recommend using this function with KODACHROME* films. It does not work with black and white films (positive or negative). * KODACHROME is a registered trademark of Eastman Kodak Company. Warnings • Film Adapter Unit FAU-S12 is for exclusive use with CanoScan D1230U scanners. Film Adapter Unit FAU-S13 is for exclusive use with CanoScan D2400U scanners. Neither unit can be used with other scanners. • The film adapter unit contains a lamp unit and other delicate components. Be extremely careful not to drop or bang it. • Do not place any items on top of the film adapter unit or press down on it. List of Items • These items are contained in the scanner package if you purchased a model with a preinstalled film adapter unit. The following items are included in the film adapter unit package. Please contact your retailer if any items are missing or damaged. 35 mm/120 Format Film Guide Film Adapter Unit A protective sheet covers the light source User's Guide (this guide) 4" x 5" Film Guide Shields 35 mm, 120 Format Installation onto the Scanner • Start from Step 5 if you purchased a model with a preinstalled film adapter unit. Install the film adapter unit onto the scanner as shown below. 1. Shut down and turn off the computer. 2. Unplug the AC adapter from the scanner. 3. Lift the scanner's document cover straight up and off. 4. Insert the two hinge pins on the film adapter unit into the two holes in the scanner body from straight above. 5. Attach the film adapter unit's cable to the connector on the scanner's rear panel. 6. Connect the AC adapter to the scanner. Removing the Protective Sheet The film adapter unit is equipped with a protective sheet for the light source. Remove this sheet before scanning films. A Slide the sheet up and out to free it from the tabs at the top. B Do the same for the bottom. Replace the protective sheet over the light source when not scanning films. Non-film items can be scanned with the protective sheet in place. Avoid pressing down heavily on the film adapter unit to scan thick books or three-dimensional objects. Pressing on it may damage the light source. Installation Procedure 1. Align the sheet's bottom holes over the tabs on the film adapter unit and slide the sheet down. 2. Align the top holes and slide the sheet down into place. Positioning Film Load a film into the film guide as shown below and place the loaded guide onto the scanner's document glass (platen). The procedures are the same for both 35mm/120 format and 4"x5" film guides. 1. Insert a fingernail into the slot in the film guide and lift up while pinching the edge of the flap inward. • The film has a calibration slot used to calculate the color balance by the scanner. The film cannot be scanned with the correct color balance if this slot is obstructed. Keep this slot clear. • Scanning with dust or dirt stuck on the document glass or light source through this slot will result in poor image quality. Please remove all dirt according to the instructions in the Care and Maintenance section of this guide. 2. Place the film face down into the groove in the film guide. Align the first frame's right side with the mark on the film guide. 5. Open the film adapter unit and place the loaded film guide in the correct position on the document glass. • Images will not scan correctly, or error messages will display, if the film guide is positioned incorrectly. Take care to position it correctly. Calibration Slot Align the film guide's mark with the scanner's mark and ensure that the top edge rests right against the top edge of the document glass. • Hold the film by the edges with your fingertips to avoid getting fingerprints or dirt on the film surface. • Any dust on the film, scanner document glass or film adapter unit light source will show in the scanned images. Remove dust with a blower brush. • With CanoScan D2400U and FAU-S13, the small dust or scratches on the film can be removed. Please see the instructions on the back of this sheet. 3. Close the flap by aligning its tab with the slot in the bottom piece and pressing down and inward. Press inward while pressing down to slip the tab into its slot. 4. Use the supplied shields if there are any gaps (empty frames) in the film groove. Calibration Slot Shield 35 mm Film Shield 120 Format Film 6. Close the film adapter unit. Positioning Slides Load 35 mm slides into the 120 format film side of the film guide. Position the slide right against the right upper edge so there are no gaps and cover the remaining area to the left with the shield. Shield 35 mm Slide Cover this area with black paper if the halation effect is severe. Load 120 format slides into the 4"x 5" film guide. Position the slide right against the right upper edge so there are no gaps and cover the remaining area to the left with the shield. Care and Maintenance Dampen a soft, clean cloth and wring it well before wiping dust and dirt off the exterior (upper surface). • Never apply a sopping wet cloth or spray water or soap directly onto the film adapter unit. The liquid could penetrate the interior and either diminish image quality or damage the unit. • Never use alcohol, solvents or benzene. These substances may deform, discolor or melt the casing. Use a blower brush to blow dust off the document glass or light source, or wipe them lightly with a soft, dry cloth. • Never wipe forcefully. It will scratch the surfaces. • Never use alcohol, solvents or benzene. These substances may deform, discolor or melt the document glass or light source.

Halation If film is loaded into a film guide with gaps around it, the bordering areas on the scanned image may be discolored. This phenomenon is called halation and is particularly noticeable with negative film. To avoid it, position the film in the guide with no gaps between the film and guide. If the film strip is shorter than the guide, use the supplied shield to fill the gap. Place the shield in the 120 35 mm Film format film groove when Shield you scan 35 mm film strips and vice versa. Newton Rings Portions of films with curled edges and large format films, such as 4"x5" film, may adhere to the document glass and produce ring patterns (termed Newton rings) on the scanned image. If Newton rings appear, load the film upside down in the guide and reverse the scanned image later with the driver software or an application program.
