Important Once the scanning of film is finished, be sure to put back the Film Guide on the rear of the FAU Protective Sheet and attach the FAU Protective Sheet to the Document Cover. The FAU Protective Sheet should be attached when copying or scanning originals other than film originals (e.g., documents or photographs).

Note Film is scanned in the order from left to right. Mount the film in the Film Guide with the upper edge of the photograph towards you to prevent the scanned photographs from being displayed upside down on the LCD. Depending on the model or brand of your camera, the scanning order may differ from the frame order of the film.

Scanning order

(B) 35 mm film strip

(C) 35 mm slides

Mounting a 35 mm film strip:

(1) On the Film Guide (D), open the Film Holder (E).

Squeeze the edges of the Film Holder inward lightly to release it.

Note Put your finger on the hinge part (F) of the Film Strip Frame (G) so that it does not come off the Film Guide when opening the Film Holder.

(2) Mount the film in the Film Strip Frame on the Film Guide with the front side (the side showing the correct image) facing down, and with the frame order running from left to right. Set the tip of the film under the tabs of the Film Strip Frame and position the film so that the separation lines between frames are aligned with the white line marks of the Film Holder.

Note Depending on the films, the separation lines between frames may not be aligned with the white line marks of the Film Holder when you set the tip of the film under the tabs of the Film Strip Frame. In this case, give priority to aligning the separation lines between frames with the white line marks.

(3) Squeeze the edges of the Film Holder inward lightly and close it completely.

Note If the Film Holder will not close properly, reposition the film so that it is set properly in the Film Strip Frame, and try again. Make sure that all the protrusions on the outer edges of the Film Holder fit into the slots in the Film Guide when closing the Film Holder. If the Film Holder does not close completely, press the whole Film Holder gently downward.

(4) With the mark on the Film Guide facing up, align the Film Guide with the grooves on the right and left sides of the Platen Glass.

(5) Confirm that the front side of the film (the side showing the correct image) faces down.

Note When placing film strips that are shorter than the Film Strip Frame, part of an image near the open area may appear pale. In this case, place black paper over the open area to shield it. Labels attached to areas of the film without images may be interpreted as images and be included in the scan.

Mounting 35 mm slides:

(1) On the Film Guide, open the Film Holder.

Squeeze the edges of the Film Holder inward lightly to release it.

(2) Lift the Film Holder (H) to remove the Film Strip Frame (I) from the Film Guide (J).

(3) Align the Film Guide with the grooves on the right and left sides of the Platen Glass.

(4) Mount the slides in the Film Guide with the front side (the side showing the correct image) facing down, with the frame order running from left to right, and with the image upside down. Load the slides in the landscape orientation, making sure they are not loose in the Film Guide.

Note To attach the Film Strip Frame on the Film Guide after scanning slides is complete 1. Align the circle marks () on the Film Strip Frame with the circle marks () on the Film Guide, and insert the tabs on the tip of the Film Strip Frame into the Film Guide. 2. Squeeze the edges of the Film Holder inward lightly and close it completely. Make sure that all the protrusions on the outer edges of the Film Holder fit into the slots in the Film Guide when closing the Film Holder. If the Film Holder does not close completely, press the whole Film Holder gently downward.

5. Gently close the Document Cover and press the Color button.

The film is scanned.

See Printing Scanned Photographs to go on to print the scanned photographs.

Important Do not stare at the light directly for an extended period of time when scanning films.

Note Do not open the Document Cover or remove the film from the Platen Glass until printing is complete. The film is rescanned before printing starts. Press the left Function button when loading another film. If "Do you want to clear the scanned image and rescan?" appears on the LCD, select Yes, press the OK button to delete the previous image data, then go to step 3. The FAU lamp is turned off automatically when the machine enters the Power save mode. To turn off the FAU lamp manually, press the HOME button to display the HOME screen, then press the OK button.
