Epson 1250 Scanner Basics - Page 23

Scanning Transparencies This section gives basic information on using the transparency unit (TPU) for your scanner. The transparency unit, also referred to as a film adapter, lets you scan slides and negative or positive film strips with your scanner. If you don't have the PHOTO version of your scanner, you can purchase a transparency unit from the EPSON StoreSM at (800) 873-7766 or visit our web site at www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call (800) 873-7766 for dealer referral. Use the following part numbers when ordering your TPU: I EPSON Perfection 1250 TPU: B12B813321 I EPSON Perfection 1650 TPU: B813172 The EPSON Perfection 1650 PHOTO TPU is built into the scanner lid. The optional TPU for the EPSON Perfection 1650 is a separate piece; it is not built into the lid. For instructions on using this TPU, see your electronic Reference Guide. Using Film Holders Be sure to use the film holders that came with your scanner. They ensure correct placement of your transparencies and make it easier to scan them. Film has two sides, a shiny base side and a dull emulsion side. The base side of the film has the film maker's name and film ID numbers printed on it. Always place the shiny base side down. Hold the film by the edges or use gloves. Touching the film surface with bare hands can leave fingerprints or other marks on the film. Scanning Transparencies 19
