down on the scanner’s document table in
the transparency unit window, as shown to
the right.

Leave the narrow window uncovered,
otherwise the colors in your scans will be
affected.
Make sure the unit is completely closed,
otherwise an option error results and you
will not be able to scan the document or
get correctly colored images.
Selecting Settings
In EPSON TWAIN, select TPU - neg. Film or TPU - pos. Film as the Document
Source setting, depending on the type of film (35 mm film strips or slides) you are
scanning. When previewing images of negatives scanned using a film holder, the color
may appear odd as the frame of the film holder is perceived as white, causing your
scans to appear darker. To see the correct color, click and drag the mouse over the
image area, then click the Zoom Preview button. For details on scanner software
settings, see the electronic EPSON TWAIN User’s Guide.
