* Selecting Flexible enlarges 35 mm film to the photo size (4"x6").
* Selections Other than Flexible:
- When the Print (300dpi) option is selected, you can set the output size to match standard paper formats. The scan area is enlarged or reduced to fit the output to the specified paper size. You can set your own output sizes with the [Add/Delete] option.
- When you select Image display (150 dpi), you can select the Output Size according to its pixel dimensions (pixels are the picture elements used to display an image on a monitor). Since the pixel dimensions correspond to the dimensions of standard computer displays (monitors), you can use the images as "wallpaper" without adjustment. They also correspond to the dimensions to which digital camera images can be set, allowing you to manage and organize your scanned images along with digital camera images. You can specify the pixel dimensions of customized output sizes with the [Add/Delete] option.
REFERENCE
- Only the settings you add with the [Add/Delete] option can be deleted. The preset options cannot be deleted.
REFERENCE
- Move the film adapter unit over and repeat the procedures listed above (Steps 6-10) to scan additional frames.
The image will display in the application program.
13.When you have finished scanning film, put the protective cap back on the film adapter unit, film guide and scanned film
IMPORTANT
- Always put the protective cap back on the film adapter unit when it is not in use. Dust, dirt or scratches on the light panel of the film adapter unit may affect image quality or damage the film.
- Film may be damaged if it is left on the document glass for extended periods of time.
