Feeding Filmstrips
1. Make sure that the transparency feed slot is clear of any original and there is enough space behind the scanner for the
filmstrip to completely feed through the unit.
2. Insert the filmstrip guide adapter all the way into the feed slot until it snaps into place, as shown. Be
careful not to bend the metal parts of the filmstrip guide adapter when inserting.
3. Wait until indicator lights are in the “Ready to use” status before proceeding.
4. Insert the filmstrip into the filmstrip guide
adapter.
Pay attention to the direction
of the filmstrip or slide
5. The original is fed into the slot and scanned automatically.
Common filmstrip length is up to 6 negatives. To prevent poor image quality, reserve adequate space
behind the scanner for the filmstrip to complete the scan feeds.
While scanning a filmstrip, the scanner automatically recognizes the filmstrip type, (monochrome, or
negative) and determines the best suitable scan and color enhancement settings for scanning.
The scanner scans filmstrips at a higher resolution; therefore the scanning speed is slower than that of
photo scanning. This is not a malfunction.
If the filmstrip is pulled out from the scanner while scanning, the scanning process remains for a few
seconds and then stops. This is not a mailfunction.
When scanning is completed, the Power and Status/Card indicator lights blink while the scanner stores the
photo on the memory card.
6. Wait until the indicator lights stop blinking before inserting and scanning the next original.
CAUTION: Insert only one original at a time, and insert the next original only when the previous one is done. Otherwise
the scanner may malfunction.
Do not remove the memory card or disconnect the power supply or batteries while the indicators are blinking.
This scanner produces JPEG (.jpg) file formats. The date/ time attribute are not added.
Please do not insert a photo into the Photo feed slot while scanning filmstrips or slides.
If the memory card is nearly full (less than 10 MB remaining), the Status/Card indicator blinks (refer to “Indicator Lights” on
page 5). Use another card or transfer pictures to your computer.
Please remove slide from slide holder when finished scanning.
To remove the filmstrip guide adapter after all originals are scanned, gently pull it out from the transparency
feed slot.
To turn off the scanner, press and hold the power button for one second. The power indicator blinks and
then goes off.
Now you can safely disconnect the power and remove the memory card from the scanner.
The scanner automatically turns off if it’s left idle for 5 minutes. (If it’s connected to a computer, the
scanner does not automatically turn off.)
