USER MANUAL Omni Scan ION

We recommend cleaning your film before inserting it into the scanner so dust or dirt does not mar the image. If you do not have the materials to do this properly, consult a professional film store.
We recommend using a clean, dry cotton swab to clean the glass surface inside the FILM HOLDER SLOT periodically.
- When OMNI SCAN is left unused for a long period of time, disconnect the USB cable.
- When connecting OMNI SCAN to your computer, try connecting it to a USB port on your computer's rear panel.
If you have too many other USB devices connected to your computer (or if OMNI SCAN is connected to a USB hub), there may not be enough power for OMNI SCAN to operate properly.
