Scanning Film

This scanner can scan 35mm film (film strip or slide) and 120 format film. Follow the procedure below when scanning film. Make sure that the FAU Cable is connected to the FAU connector on the back of the scanner.

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.

• 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.

Calibration Slot

• 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.
• Ensure that there is no gap between the edge of the film and the film guide on the side near the calibration slot.

35mm Slides

① Align the Film Guide's tab with the FILM symbol on the document glass of the scanner.
② Place a slide or slides face down (correctly viewed from below) in the Film Guide as shown in the diagram to the right.

120 Format Films

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.

• Leave a gap of 5mm or greater between film strips when placing two or more on the document glass.
• Ensure that there is no gap between the edge of the film and the film guide on the side near the calibration slot.

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.

(A)

(B)

Hold the film edges down by placing the film retainer sheet on top with its glossy side facing downward.

3 Close the document cover.

4 Start ArcSoft PhotoStudio, then start ScanGear.
Follow the steps 2 to 4 in "Try Scanning" on page 4.
5 Select [Negative Film (Color)] or [Positive Film (Color)] in [Select Source] to match the type of film you are scanning, then click [Preview].
6 Place a check mark beside the number(s) of the frame(s) you want to scan. Perform image corrections as needed.
7 Click [Scan] to start scanning.

Do not touch the scanner while it is operating.

8 When prompted to close ScanGear, click [OK].
Save the scanned image in ArcSoft PhotoStudio and close the window.

• Do not leave the film strip in the film guide for an extended period of time as heat from the unit may damage the film.
• For more information on scanning film, see "Scanning Film" in the Scanning Guide.
