accepts color negatives, color reversals (slide film), and black and white
negative film.

CAUTION:
Never load a single or two-frame film negative. Additionally,
spliced film is not supported, and should not be used with the scanner.
Follow these steps to load a filmstrip into the scanner; the computer and
scanner should both be powered on.
1. Since you will be handling film, you may wish to wear protective gloves
when loading the filmstrips.
2. If numbered identification labels of any kind are stuck on either end of
the film, cut those off, as long as the remaining filmstrip will be at least
three frames in length. (The scanner does not accept filmstrips shorter
than three frames.)
3. If the film has a blank leader at either end cut the leader off, as long as
the remaining filmstrip will be at least three frames in length.
4. Be certain the filmstrip is clean and dust free; if not, clean it as needed.
