    Solution

    1. Make sure that the FAU cable is properly connected.




    2. Remove the protective sheet from the document cover.
    Press and hold the lever at the top of the protective sheet while you (1) pull the sheet outward and (2) detach it.




    Put the protective sheet (3) back to the document cover when you are finished scanning film.
    IMPORTANT
    • Store the protective sheet in a safe place so that it will not get lost.
    • Always put the protective sheet back when you are not scanning film to protect the light source in the document cover.

    3. Set the film.

    35mm Strips:
    a. Insert the film into the film guide.
    Open the film holder (2) on the film guide, place the film face down (correctly viewed from below) (3) as shown in the figure. Ensure that there is no gap between the edge of the film and the film guide.
    Close the film holder holding the both edges with your fingers adding slight stress inward so that its tabs are aligned with the fits on the film guide.
    If the film holder does not close completely, place the film inside of the groove properly and then close the holder.




    * Calibration Slot (1)
    IMPORTANT
    • Take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it.
    • If there is any dust on the film or the document glass, it will affect the image quality. Remove any dust from the film and the document glass.
    • Do not block the calibration slot (1) on the Film Guide when scanning film. Colors will not scan correctly if the calibration slot is obstructed.
    • If your 35mm film (strip) is shorter than the film holder and the edge of a scanned image appears whitened, place a piece of black paper in the area without film.

    b. Place the film guide on the document glass.
    Align the film guide's tab with the FILM symbol on the document glass of the scanner.




    35mm Slides:
    a. Place the film guide on the document glass.
    Align the film guide's tab with the FILM symbol on the document glass of the scanner.

    b. Insert the film into the film guide.
    Place the film face down (correctly viewed from below) in the film guide as shown in the figure.
