Loading mounted slides

Up to four mounted 35mm or APS slides can be
inserted into the slide mount holder. The slide
mounts must be between 1 mm and 2 mm
thick to fit the holder. Glass mounts
cannot be used; the glass refracts the
light resulting in distorted and
unevenly illuminated scans. Do not
leave slide mounts in the holder.

Hold the slide mount holder so that the slots
are to the top and the frame numbers are upside-
down and face up. Insert the slides into the holder
emulsion side down. The slide must be parallel with the length
of the holder otherwise the top and bottom of the image area will be
cropped.

Insert the film holder into the scanner in the
direction indicated by the arrow. Hold the holder
straight and level with the orientation indicator up
(2).

Carefully push the holder into the scanner until the
arrow mark (2) is aligned with the scanner door;
the holder will be automatically fed into the
scanner from that point. Never touch or hinder the
holder when it is in the scanner.

Loading a film holder into the scanner

Before using the scanner, install the DiMAGE Scan Utility. Confirm the front door of the
scanner is closed and then turn on the scanner. Launch the DiMAGE Scan Utility
before inserting the film holder. Do not insert the film holder into the scanner while the
utility software is launching or the scanner is initializing; the indicator lamp blinks
during this period.

When the indicator lamp glows steadily, open the
front door until the top is aligned with the 35mm
film-holder mark (1).
