Scanning Film Your scanner includes four film holders and a film area guide. Each film holder allows you to scan multiple images at once, and the film area guide allows you to scan up to 8 × 10 inch film. You can scan up to twenty-four 35mm filmstrip images, eight 35mm slides, three 120/220 (6 × 12 cm) film images, two 4 × 5 film images, or film and contact sheets up to 8 × 10 inches. Note: For instructions on scanning 8 × 10 inch transparencies, see the on-screen Reference Guide. Using the Film Holders To scan film, you'll need to remove the reflective document mat and place the film in a holder. 1. Make sure the transparency unit cable is connected to the option interface connector on the back of the scanner. (If it is not connected, turn off the scanner, connect the transparency unit cable, then turn the scanner back on.) 2. Lift the scanner lid all the way up and pull the reflective document mat up and off of the scanner lid, as shown. 6 Scanning Film
