Preparing to Scan Film (LiDE 80)
This scanner can scan 35 mm film strips one frame at a time. Use the following procedures to place the Film Adapter Unit and the Film Guide on the document glass, and to insert the film in the Film Guide.
 |
* |
Clean the document glass before placing the Film Guide on it, otherwise dirt and dust can affect image quality or damage the film. |
| * |
Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, which will affect the image quality, and take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it. |
| * |
You cannot scan film with the scanner in the upright position. |
 |
Connect the cable for the Film Adapter Unit to the FAU connector on the back of the scanner. |
| |
 |
 |
Open the document cover and place the Film Guide on the document glass of the scanner. |
| |
 |
| |
|
| Align the two film guide tabs over the slots at the document glass edge and secure it with the clip at the back. |
 |
Place the film face up in the Film Guide (images and words should read correctly from above) with the spaces between frames aligned with the white lines on the guide. |
