Preparing an Uncarded Negative
Wear clean, cotton gloves when handling the negative. Illuminate the negative
with a light box or hold the negative up to the light to view and align the negative.
1. Identify the emulsion side of the negative.
The emulsion side is the dull side of the negative. The printing appears
backwards.
2. Select either landscape or portrait orientation.
3. Lift the magnetic sheet.
IMPORTANT: In the next step, the emulsion side must be toward the rear of the
scanner.
4. With the emulsion side toward the rear of the scanner, carefully align the
negative over the rectangular opening in the film holder.
5. Close the magnetic sheet over the negative.

Preparing a Mounted Slide
IMPORTANT: In the next step, the emulsion side must be toward the rear of the
scanner.
1. With the emulsion side toward the rear of the scanner, align the mounted slide
on the film holder between the pins.
2. Carefully insert the mounted slide under the film holder’s clamps and into
place, keeping the slide aligned.
