Removing the Document Mat
To scan film strips or slides, you need to remove the document mat from the scanner cover. This uncovers the transparency unit window so your scanner can use it to scan your film or slides.
 |
Open the scanner cover and gently slide up the document mat to remove it.

Use a soft cloth to wipe the transparency unit window and the document table before placing your film or slides.

Make sure the white stickers on the back of the film holder and the areas around them are not scratched, dusty, or covered in any way. If the areas are obscured, the scanner may have trouble recognizing your film in Full Auto Mode.
