2.  Place slides in the holder, base side facing down as 

shown below.   
 
NOTE:  The base side of the film is the side where 
the film maker's name and film ID numbers can be 
read correctly. Also, when you look at an image on 
the film from the base side, the image should appear 
normal, not reversed. 
 

 

NOTES: 

  Make sure the document cover is completely closed; otherwise you cannot obtain 

proper colored images. 

  A newton ring (ring-shaped stripe pattern) may appear in the scanned image. To 

remove the newton ring, place the film with the base side facing up and preview using 
the Thumbnail Preview; then reverse the previewed image by using the 

Mirroring

 

button. 

 
 

SCAN 35 MM NEGATIVES AND FILM STRIPS 
 

1.  

Slide the edge of the strip into the 35 mm film 
holder, base side facing down. Then place it so 
that the entire frame is positioned inside the film 
holder.  

 

2.   Place the film holder on the document table so that the 

triangle mark on its tab is aligned with the triangle on 
the document table. The projection on the tab then goes 
into the hole on the document table.
