Scanning Film

This scanner can scan 35 mm film (film strip or slide) and 120 format film. Follow the procedure below when scanning film.

1 Remove the protective sheet from the document cover.

Press and hold the lever at the top of the protective sheet while you ① pull the sheet outward and ② detach it.

Diagram of a device with labeled parts, showing a screen and mounting bracket with arrows indicating direction.

• Store the protective sheet in a safe place so that it will not get bent or broken.
  • Always put the protective sheet back when you are not scanning film to protect the light source in the document cover.

2 Insert the film into the Film Guide.

• Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, which will affect the image quality, and take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it.
• Do not block the calibration slot on the Film Guide when scanning film. Colors will not be scanned correctly if the calibration slot is obstructed.
• Close the Film Guide securely. Press lightly until it clicks into place.

35mm Film Strip

① Open the film holder on the film guide, place the film face down and close the film holder.
② Align the Film Guide's tab with the FILM symbol on the document glass of the scanner.

Using a Film Retainer Sheet

Curled film strips can stick to the document glass and cause a pattern of rings called Newton Rings to appear on the scanned image. If this occurs, scan using the supplied film retainer sheet as shown in the diagram.

(A) Scan with the film retainer sheet inserted beneath the film.

(B) If Newton Rings still appear after following Instruction (A), turn the film strip over and place it in the film holder with the film retainer sheet on top so that the film edges are held down for scanning. Then preview the image in ScanGear and click the [Mirror] button to reverse the image before initiating the final scan.

To avoid damaging the film, always place the glossy side (the side without an illustration) of the film retainer sheet against the film.

• Do not place the following objects on the scanner; metallic objects such as necklaces, liquid containers such as cups, vases and flowerpots. If the internal electrical parts come in contact with these objects, fire or electrical shock may result.

If any of these objects or liquids enters the scanner, immediately unplug the AC adapter and the power cord. Then contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

CAUTION

• Do not place the scanner in areas with high humidity, areas subject to direct sunlight, areas with high temperatures and areas near flame sources. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not place the scanner on shaky stands, unstable surfaces or surfaces subject to frequent vibrations. If the scanner falls, it may cause injuries.
• Do not place heavy objects on the scanner. Objects may fall and cause injuries.

About the Power Supply

WARNING

• Do not damage, mutilate or modify the AC adapter and the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on, pull or excessively bend, twist or tie the cord of the AC adapter and the power cord. Damaged wires may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Do not plug in/unplug the AC adapter and the power cord with wet hands. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not connect excessive numbers of plugs into one electrical outlet. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• Always plug the AC adapter and the power cord in all the way. If it is not plugged in completely, fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not use AC adapters and power cords other than the one supplied. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• As a rule, do not use electrical extension cords. Fire or electrical shock may result. If the use of an extension cord is necessary, do not use one longer than 5 m (15 feet). Make sure that the extension cord is not twisted, and that the AC adapter and the power cord are fully plugged into the extension cord. Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Do not use extension cords in corridors or other high traffic areas where they can be stepped on or tripped over. This could damage the cords and result in fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use the AC adapter and the power cord outdoors or in exposed areas. Fire or electrical shock may result.

CAUTION
