Placing Transparencies and Film
Before scanning transparent documents, you need to remove the scanner’s reflective
document mat; this exposes the transparency unit, as described below.
If you’re scanning slides or film strips, you’ll also need to use one of the film holders
that came with your scanner. This is described on page 6.
Using the Transparency Unit
The scanner’s cover has a built-in transparency unit, or light source, that you need to
use when scanning transparencies and photographic film. Follow these steps to use it:
1. Remove the reflective document mat. To do this, grasp the top of the mat and
then slide it up gently.
