Loading Slides and Film

You can scan slides and film strip in the 4 x 5 inch (101.6 x 127 mm) scanning area of the Film Adapter.

Note:

Wipe the inside of the Film Adapter cover, the scanner's document table, and the narrow window near the hinges before scanning transparencies.

You need to select TPU for Neg. Film or TPU for Pos. Film in the Document Source settings in the Manual mode window depending on the type of film (negative or positive) you are scanning. The scanner software automatically controls the operation of the Film Adapter.

Follow the steps below to load film or slides.

Caution:

Hold the film at the edges, or else use gloves. Touching the film surface with bare hands can leave fingerprints or other traces on the film.

Open the top of the Film Adapter, holding the base down.

Load the transparency to be scanned face down on the scanner's document table in the window of the Film Adapter as shown below.

Close the unit.

Note:

Make sure the unit is completely closed, otherwise you cannot attain proper colored images.

When previewing images on EPSON TWAIN of negatives scanned using a film holder, the color may appear odd as the frame of the film holder is perceived as white, causing your scans to appear darker. To see the correct color, click and drag the mouse over an area, then click the Zoom Preview button.

You can move and adjust the position of 35 mm film by sliding the strips in the film holder so the frames you want to scan are positioned in the window.

To remove a film holder from the document table, slide it left or right then take it out of the window.

Leave the opening shown below uncovered, otherwise the colors in your scans will be affected.
