Scanning Film
You can scan 35 mm film (strips or slides) as well as 120 and 4 x 5 format film with this scanner.
Positioning the Film 
Use the following procedures to insert the film into the film guide. Make sure that the FAU cable is 
connected properly. If the scanner power is not on, press the power switch to turn it on (p. 7).
1Remove the protective sheet from the document cover. 
When you finish scanning, fit the holes at the bottom end of the protective sheet over the tabs at the bot-
tom of the document cover and slide the protective sheet down. Repeat the procedure for the top end.
2Place the film in the film guide. 
35 mm Strips
Pinch to open the film holder on the film guide for 35 mm strips.
Hold the film face down and tuck the ends under the tabs on the film 
guide. Pinch the film holder and close it back in position. 
If the film holder is not correctly positioned, press down the whole film 
holder.
Two or more film strips in the film holder are scanned in order starting 
from the right end of the bottom strip. 
120 and 4 x 5 Format Films
Open the film holder on the film guide for 120 and 4 x 5 format 
films, place the film face down and close the film holder.
• Store the protective sheet in a safe place so that it will not get bent or broken. 
• Always replace the protective sheet when you are not scanning film to prevent the 
light source section from getting scratched.

together at the same time. Place only one in the 
film guide at a time
