Replacing the Document Mat

To scan film strips or slides, you need to remove the document mat from the document cover. This uncovers the transparency unit so your scanner can use it to scan your film or slides.

Open the document cover.

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.

To place film for scanning, see Placing 35mm Film Strip.

To place slides for scanning, see Placing Slides in the Holder.

Open the film strip cover on the film holder.

Slide a film strip all the way into the film holder with the shiny base side facing up. Your images and any wording on the film strip should appear normally on the side that face up.

Note:

Hold the edge of the film gently or use gloves to touch the film; otherwise you may damage the film. 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. Do not cover any of the tiny holes on the film holder.

Close the cover over the film and press it down until they click. Then press down on all the edges of the cover to secure it.

Place the film holder on the document table so that it is aligned with the upper left corner. Make sure the tab on the film holder fits into the hole on the document table.

Make sure you removed the document mat. See Removing the Document Mat.

Close the document cover.

To scan your film, see Starting a Scan With EPSON Scan.

When you are finished scanning film, be sure to replace the document mat before scanning documents or photos. See Replacing the Document Mat.
