Cautions
Use only one type of film at a time. Do not place negative and positive film in the holder at the
same time.
Be sure to align the end of the film with the film line on the holder. Leaving a gap between the
film and the line could interfere with accurate color reproduction.
Multiple single-frame strips of film can be inserted in the holder at the same time, but be sure not
to mix positive and negative film.
The bottom side of the glass cover has been treated to prevent interference. Avoid leaving fin-
gerprints or other stains on the glass.
To avoid damaging the film, use a blower to remove dust and lint from the film and holder.
Leaving dust, lint, or other foreign objects on the film or holder during scanning could result in
reduced image quality or in damage to the film.
A “Newton ring” interference pattern may appear when scanning film that has been folded or
otherwise deformed. This can be prevented by placing a masking sheet under the film.
