• Leave a gap of 5 mm or greater between
film strips when placing two or more on the
document glass.
• Ensure that there is no gap between the
edge of the film and the film guide on the
side near the calibration slot.
Using a Film Retainer Sheet
Curled film strips can stick to the document glass and cause
a pattern of rings called Newton Rings to appear on the
scanned image. If this occurs, scan using the supplied film
retainer sheet as shown in the diagram.
(A)
Scan with the film retainer sheet inserted beneath the
film.
(B)
If Newton Rings still appear after following Instruction
(A), turn the film strip over and place it in the film holder
with the film retainer sheet on top so that the film edges
are held down for scanning. Then preview the image in
ScanGear and click the [Mirror] button to reverse the
image before initiating the final scan.
To avoid damaging the film, always place
the glossy side (the side without an illustra-
tion) of the film retainer sheet against the
film.
